Non-surgical Management of Neonatal Esophageal Perforation: A Rare Case.

Iatrogenic esophageal perforation in neonates, though rare, is a serious condition with high mortality. It is almost exclusively secondary to invasive instrumentation complications in intensive care settings. Forceful or repeated orogastric (OG) or nasogastric (NG) tube insertion, vigorous suctioning to clear the airway, and trauma during airway intubation are the leading causes.

Association of rs7216389 Polymorphism in Gasdermin B (GSDMB) With Childhood Asthma: A Case-Control Study.

Objective This study examines the association between the gasdermin B (GSDMB) gene variant rs7216389 and childhood asthma, with a focus on gender-based differences, environmental factors, and lung function measurements in affected children. It highlights the growing prevalence of childhood asthma, its unique features compared to adult-onset asthma, and the substantial healthcare burden it imposes, especially during exacerbations. Methods A case-control study was conducted over 18 months at CMH Lahore, UHS, and Children's Hospital, including 200 participants (100 asthmatics, 100 controls) aged three to 18.

Visual Analysis of Prediction Uncertainty in Neural Networks for Deep Image Synthesis.

Ubiquitous applications of Deep neural networks (DNNs) in different artificial intelligence systems have led to their adoption in solving challenging visualization problems in recent years. While sophisticated DNNs offer an impressive generalization, it is imperative to comprehend the quality, confidence, robustness, and uncertainty associated with their prediction. A thorough understanding of these quantities produces actionable insights that help application scientists make informed decisions.
