Importance: The effects of prenatal exposure to SARS-CoV-2 infection on child development throughout the first 2 years of life are unknown.
Objective: To evaluate whether prenatal exposure to SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with child neurodevelopmental outcomes during the first 2 years of life.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study used data from the longitudinal, population-based pan-Canadian Pregnancy During the COVID-19 Pandemic cohort, which recruited participants from April 2020 to July 2022.
Article Synopsis
- There is a growing need for faster detection of sexually transmitted blood-borne infections (STBBIs), leading to the development of digital innovations like AideSmart!, an app that supports multiplexed testing by health care workers in community settings.
- The study aimed to evaluate AideSmart! for its feasibility and impact, allowing healthcare providers to perform rapid STBBI tests while offering counseling and ensuring quality care.
- Results showed that all participants accepted the app's testing strategy, with a majority preferring rapid tests to traditional methods and valuing the quick turnaround of results, which took only 15 minutes.

There is increasing interest in ultrasound-guided ablation treatments for thyroid diseases, including benign and malignant ones. Surgeons, radiologists, and endocrinologists carry out these treatments, and various organizations within these specialties have recently released multiple international consensus statements and clinical practice standards. The aim of the present consensus statement is to provide guidance, cohesion, and standardization of best practices for thermal ablation procedures of thyroid nodules.

Advantages of concomitant CBDE with cholecystectomy include fewer anesthetic events and decreased length of stay. As there is a paucity of literature evaluating the use of the robotic platform for CBDE, our study aims to compare intraoperative and post-operative outcomes between robotic-assisted one-stage and two-stage management of choledocholithiasis.
