Methods Firstly, to better assess documentation practices impacting patient care, members of the NICU auditing team identified seven key points in medical records. These points were then used for the audit of 30 randomly selected "progress notes" for infants admitted to the NICU between January and June 2022.

- The study aimed to evaluate the late effects and quality of life in pediatric survivors of mature B-non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) after receiving treatment.
- It included 273 patients treated at Children's Cancer Hospital of Egypt, with assessments for various toxicities and quality of life conducted over at least five years.
- Results showed notable pulmonary dysfunction in 58.6% of patients, some cognitive impairments, and overall satisfactory quality of life scores, but with significant issues in the physical domain for certain groups, specifically linked to pulmonary dysfunction and older age at diagnosis.
Article Synopsis
- Vein of Galen malformations are congenital issues treated mainly through endovascular embolization, but challenges arise in patients with venous blockages that can lead to complications.
- A study reviewed pediatric cases where an intracranial venous sinus stent was used to enhance blood flow following transvenous embolization, improving outcomes.
- Results showed that all three patients experienced successful treatment with normal venous drainage post-procedure, although one had a temporary nerve issue unrelated to the stent.
