To assess the clinical implications of cryoanalgesia for pain management in children undergoing minimally invasive repair pectus excavatum (MIRPE).MIRPE entails significant challenges, often requiring high postoperative opioid use. Cryoanalgesia, which blocks signals by temporarily ablating intercostal nerves, has been recently utilized as an analgesic adjunct. We hypothesized that use during MIRPE would decrease and length stay (LOS).A multicenter retrospective cohort study 20 US children's...
Background: Muscle Dysmorphia (MD) is a subtype of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and currently classified under anxiety disorders (subheading: Obsessive-compulsive disorder) in DSM 5. MD hypothesized to affect the self-esteem social outlook younger generation. shows higher rate males may influence their self-confidence rendering them more prone towards using steroids, supplementary proteins other drugs alter physical outlooks as shown previous studies. This problem has been on rise lately...
The Children's Oncology Group recommends upfront resection of Wilms tumor (WT), however, unique scenarios warrant neoadjuvant chemotherapy and delayed resection. We hypothesized that in the context chemotherapy, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to resect WT achieves equivalent oncologic fidelity better maintains therapy schedules.A retrospective analysis treated between 2010-2021 at a free-standing children's hospital was performed. Patient disease specific characteristics were collected,...
Few consensus statements exist to guide the timely diagnosis and management of urine leaks in children sustaining blunt renal trauma (BRT). The aims this study were characterize kidney injuries among who sustain BRT, evaluate risk factors for leaks, describe negative impact urinoma on patient outcomes resource consumption.A retrospective review was performed 347 patients, younger than 19 years, presented with BRT a single American College Surgeons-verified Level I Pediatric Trauma Center...
Background While cholecystectomy is one of the most common operations performed in United States, there a continued debate regarding its prophylactic role elective surgery. Particularly among patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis who undergo cytoreduction surgery hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC), further abdominal may pose increasing morbidity due to intraabdominal adhesions and potential recurrence. This bi-institutional retrospective study aims assess postoperative...
Abstract Background The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the oncologic outcomes two popular systemic chemotherapy approaches in patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases (CPM) undergoing cytoreductive surgery hyperthermic intraperitoneal (CRS‐HIPEC). Methods We performed a dual‐center retrospective review consecutive who underwent CRS‐HIPEC for CPM due high or intermediate‐grade cancer. Patients total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) group received 6 months preoperative chemotherapy....
Outcomes of cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) among patients peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) depend largely on the extent disease. Since PC is not reliably evaluated cross-sectional imaging, tumor burden often diagnostic laparoscopy (DLS). The aims this study are to evaluate safety DLS in disease and determine if delays time CRS-HIPEC.We performed an institutional retrospective review 145 who underwent CRS-HIPEC between 2013 2020. Patients were...
All-terrain vehicle (ATV) and dirt bike crashes frequently result in traumatic brain injury. The authors performed a retrospective study to evaluate the role of helmets neurosurgical outcomes pediatric patients involved ATV who were treated at their institution during last decade.The analyzed data on all or evaluated single regional level I trauma center between 2010 2019. Patients excluded if crash occurred competition (n = 70) helmet status could not be determined 18). Multivariable...
Solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPTs) of the pancreas arise rarely in children, are often large, and can associate intimately with splenic vessels. Splenic preservation is a fundamental consideration when resecting distal SPT. Occasionally, main vessels must be divided to resect SPT negative margins, but spleen preserved if short gastric remain intact (ie, Warshaw procedure). The purpose this study was evaluate outcomes pancreatectomy (DP) for children highlight 2 cases using...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate with endoscopy the common causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients presenting hematemesis within 24 hours admission.DESIGN: A cross sectional observational study.SETTING: Medical unit III, LUMHS Jamshoro.DURATION: Six months from 1 st Jul, 2014 -31 Dec, 2014.METHODS: One hundred cases were included study.Patients who refused and those on NSAIDs, anticoagulants & steroids excluded study.Upper was performed admission.RESULTS: Out 100 selected, 51 (51%) males...

The incidence of deformational brachycephaly has risen since the "Back to Sleep" movement in 1992 by American Academy Pediatrics. Brachycephaly prevalence and understanding dynamic nature pediatric skull have not been explored relation cranial index (CI). objective study was determine brachycephaly, via CI, with respect time.
