This study prospectively measured teasing and emotional adjustment before after ear reconstruction in younger older children with microtia. Participants isolated microtia (n = 28) were divided into two groups by age at surgery, a group aged 3-5 years 13) mean of 4.0 (0.71) the time surgery an 6-10 old 15) 7.87 (1.30) years. Children their parents interviewed preoperatively year about emotions ear(s). Teasing began between ages 2.4-4.8 A third all reported preoperative teasing. Before higher...
The sheer number of accepted inferior turbinoplasty techniques emphasizes the fact that there is no general agreement on which approach yields optimal results, nor are data available describes prevalent in turbinate surgery among plastic surgeons.The aim this study was to identify practice patterns surgeons who perform during rhinoplasty.Members American Society Plastic Surgeons were invited participate an anonymous, Internet-based survey containing questions related personal preferences and...
This study focuses on early experiences of families with a child microtia to better inform their ongoing care by pediatric providers. Parents and children (n = 62; mean age 6.9 ± 3.9 years) isolated participated in semistructured interviews Spanish (66.1%) or English (33.9%). Qualitative analysis responses used open coding identify themes. reported stressful informing the diagnosis multiple negative emotions. generally not understanding etiology, while some identified medical, religious,...
Introduction: Quantitative parameters for diagnosis of congenital lumbar stenosis (CLS) have yet to be universally accepted. This study establishes CLS using CT, assessing the influences patient sex, race, ethnicity, and anthropometric characteristics. Methods: Interpedicular distance (IPD), pedicle length, canal diameter, area were measured 1,000 patients between 18 35 years age who without spinal pathology. Results: Irrespective disk level, threshold values 16.1 mm IPD, 3.9 11.5 142.5 2...

A previously healthy three-year-old girl was brought into the emergency department by ambulance after being found unresponsive with a family member's fentanyl patch adherent to her lower back. head CT scan showed global cerebral edema and patient progressed brain death. An initial standard urine drug screen negative for opiates, however, subsequent specific assay testing be positive norfentanyl. This case highlights dangers of not properly disposing used patches as they may still contain...
Objectives: Chest radiographs are commonly performed in the ICU setting to confirm position of endotracheal tube. The purpose this study was evaluate practice and accuracy repositioning tubes pediatric population based on chest radiograph. Design: Retrospective review patient’s medical record Setting: Single-institution, academic children’s hospital. Patients: PICU cardiothoracic patients who had their tube from September 1, 2016, 2017. Measurements Main Results: radiograph before after were...
Delaying intubation for patients failing Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure (BIPAP) may be associated with harm. The objective of this study was to develop a deep learning model capable aiding clinical decision making by predicting failure. This retrospective cohort in tertiary pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) between 2010 and 2020. Three machine models were developed predict BIPAP failure: two logistic regression one model, recurrent neural network Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM-RNN)...
