Conscious sedation for the management of peritonsillar abscess in pediatric patients: A prospective case series and literature review.

Objective: Peritonsillar abscess (PTA) is a common pediatric infection requiring drainage. Conscious Sedation (CS) can facilitate drainage in uncooperative children. However, it carries risks, especially if the airway is compromised.

Subdividing the superior longitudinal fasciculus using local quantitative MRI.

The association fibers of the superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) connect parietal and frontal cortical regions in the human brain. The SLF comprises of three distinct sub-bundles, each presenting a different anatomical trajectory, and specific functional roles. Nevertheless, in vivo studies of the SLF often consider the entire SLF complex as a single entity.
