Abstract Background Image‐guided percutaneous core needle biopsy (PCNB) is increasingly utilized to diagnose solid tumors. The objective of this study determine whether PCNB adequate for modern biologic characterization neuroblastoma. Procedure A multi‐institutional retrospective was performed by the Pediatric Surgical Oncology Research Collaborative on children with neuroblastoma at 12 institutions over a 3‐year period. Data collected included demographics, clinical details, technique,...
Objectives/Hypothesis Surgical advancements rely heavily on validated animal models. The New Zealand White (NZW) rabbit is a widely used model for airway research, including regenerative medicine applications. Currently, the biomechanical properties of normal trachea are not known. Our objective was to define these assist in standardization and understanding future research using this model. Study Design Laboratory‐based study. Methods Fresh tracheas from four adult NZW rabbits were...
Expediting evaluation and intervention for severely injured patients has remained a mainstay of advanced trauma care. One technique, direct to operating room (DOR) resuscitation, selective adult demonstrated decreased mortality. We sought investigate the application this protocol in children.All DOR pediatric from 2009 2016 at Level I center were identified. Direct OR criteria included penetrating injury, chest injuries, amputations, significant blood loss, cardiopulmonary surgeon...
To evaluate the incidence of primary venous thromboembolism (VTE), epidural haematoma, surgical site infection (SSI), and 90-day mortality after elective spinal surgery, effect two protocols for prophylaxis.A total 2181 adults underwent 2366 procedures between January 2007 2012. All patients wore anti-embolic stockings, mobilised early were kept adequately hydrated. In addition, 29% (689) these given low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) while in hospital. SSI surveillance was undertaken using...
External Oblique Intercostal (EOI) fascial plane blockade is a relatively new regional anesthetic technique used for variety of upper abdominal surgical procedures. Proponents this block praise its simple sonoanatomy, extensive local (LA) spread, and ease catheter placement, while avoiding encroachment into the field or dressing sites; nevertheless, it underutilized in pediatric surgery. Kasai portoenterostomy common procedure biliary atresia typically done via an open approach with extended...
BACKGROUND Trauma-induced coagulopathy seen on rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) is associated with poor outcomes in adults; however, this relationship poorly understood the pediatric population. We sought to define thresholds for product-specific transfusion and evaluate prognostic efficacy of ROTEM injured children. METHODS Demographics, ROTEM, clinical from severely children (age, < 18 years) admitted a Level I trauma center between 2014 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Receiver...
To determine structural biomechanical changes in tracheal scaffolds resulting from cellular reduction and storage at -80(o) C.Laboratory-based study.Forty-four rabbit segments were separated into four treatment groups: untreated (group A, control), cellular-reduced B), C followed by C), D). Tracheal subjected to uniaxial tension (n = 21) or compression 23) using a universal testing machine sutured tensile yield load radial compressive strengths 50% lumen occlusion. Mean differences among...
Following the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Hartford Consensus produced Stop Bleed program to train bystanders in hemorrhage control. In our region, police bureau delivers critical incident training public schools, offering instruction responding violent or dangerous situations. Until now, widespread control has been lacking. Our group developed, implemented and evaluated a novel integrating into for school staff order blunt impact of mass casualty events on children.
Objectives/Hypothesis The primary objective was to design a reporter assay measure molecular release kinetics from new porous‐wall hollow glass microsphere biomaterial with great potential in regenerative medicine and drug delivery. Second, future avenues for research will be discussed specifically regard clinical uses laryngology. Study Design Basic science data report. Methods We developed an using fluorescent nanocrystals or quantum dots (Qdot 605) as reporter. A Nuance FX multispectral...
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) in injured children is rare, but its consequences are significant. Several risk stratification algorithms for VTE pediatric trauma exist with little consensus, and all hindered development by relying on registry data known inaccuracies. We performed a multicenter review to evaluate fidelity confirm the effectiveness of one established algorithm across diverse centers.Local registries at 10 institutions were queried patients younger than 18 years admitted between...
Ultrashort bowel syndrome is a rare, but morbid surgical problem without effective treatment. Recent clinical analysis has demonstrated the critical influence of ileal length on ultimate enteral autonomy. Surgical techniques to increase in nondilated do not exist. We describe novel technique lengthen ileum children with ultrashort syndrome.
