Evaluation of an educational outreach and audit and feedback program to reduce continuous pulse oximetry use in hospitalized infants with stable bronchiolitis: a nonrandomized clinical trial.
National guidelines recommend against continuous pulse oximetry use for hospitalized children with bronchiolitis who are not receiving supplemental oxygen, yet guideline-discordant use remains high. The objective of this study was to evaluate deimplementation outcomes of educational outreach and audit and feedback strategies aiming to reduce guideline-discordant continuous pulse oximetry use in children hospitalized with bronchiolitis who are not receiving supplemental oxygen.

Social media as a platform for surgical learning: use and engagement patterns among robotic surgeons.
This study analyzed data from a closed-membership Facebook group for robotic surgeons to better understand surgeons' engagement with social media platforms. This analysis observed that surgeons responded to text posts with more comments, but "liked" posts containing links, photos, or video images in greater numbers.

Does the number of forceps deliveries performed in residency predict use in practice?
The researchers aimed to determine whether a threshold number of forceps deliveries in residency predicts use of forceps in independent practice. They concluded that, although exceeding 13 forceps deliveries made it highly likely that obstetricians would use them in practice, further study is necessary to set goals for a number of resident forceps deliveries that translate into use in practice.
