Intrauterine Fetal Demise in the Third Trimester of Pregnancy Associated With Mild Infection With the SARS-CoV-2 Delta Variant Without Protection From Vaccination.

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has a higher infection rate in pregnant women than age-matched adults. With increased infectivity and transmissibility, the Delta variant is predominant worldwide.

Methods: In this study, we describe intrauterine fetal demise in unvaccinated women with mild symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant infection.

Therapeutic enema for pediatric ileocolic intussusception: using a balloon catheter improves efficacy.

A therapeutic enema for pediatric intussusception may benefit by using a rectal catheter with an inflated balloon. We compared the efficacy of rectal catheters without and with an inflated balloon for air and liquid enemas. We retrospectively reviewed PACS images and hospital records of children who had a therapeutic enema for intussusception at our institution between January 2006 and May 2011.

Use of a dedicated pediatric CT imaging service associated with decreased patient radiation dose.

Purpose: The growing use of CT as a diagnostic imaging tool has led to increased concern over radiation dose, particularly in pediatric patients. The ALARA concept has been popularized in dose reduction. ALARA supports the use of low-dose, pediatric-specific protocols.
