Sex-Related Differences in the Severity of Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome: A Single-Center, Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objective:  Factors associated with the development and expression of Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS) are poorly understood. There are conflicting data on the role of infant sex in NOWS. Some studies have suggested that infant sex predicts NOWS severity and adverse outcomes, with male infants being more vulnerable.

Buprenorphine vs. morphine: impact on neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) outcomes in a single center retrospective study.

Objectives: To compare clinical outcomes for infants with neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) treated with buprenorphine or morphine.

Study Design: Retrospective study of infants born ≥35 weeks' gestation and admitted to the NICU for NOWS treatment between 2011 and 2022. Length of treatment, length of stay in the hospital, and the need for secondary medications were compared between buprenorphine and morphine treated neonates.

Cannulated screws fixation for nondisplaced femoral neck fractures: early versus late weight-bearing-a prospective analysis.

Purpose: Nondisplaced intracapsular fractures (Garden I/II) are predominantly treated with an internal fixation technique. The purpose of the study is to identify the best rehabilitation protocol after internal fixation with 3 parallel cannulated screws.

Methods: All patients operated on from 2016 to 2021 for femoral neck fractures by internal fixation with 3 cannulated screws were enrolled into this prospective study.

Acute Kidney Injury and Abnormalities on Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging or Death in Infants with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy: A Case-Control Study.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the association between acute kidney injury (AKI) and abnormalities on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or death in neonates treated with therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).

Study Design: This is a retrospective case-control analysis of 380 neonates born at ≥35 weeks' gestation treated with therapeutic hypothermia for HIE. Death or abnormal brain MRI using the basal ganglia watershed scoring system was compared between neonates with and without AKI.

The use of suprapectineal plate in acetabular fractures via ilioinguinal approach with Stoppa window.

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the clinical results of open reduction and internal fixation using a suprapectineal buttress plate for specific acetabular fractures.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study involving thirty-three patients with specific acetabular fractures in an academic level 2 trauma center. We performed the ilioinguinal approach with Stoppa window for buttress plating of the quadrilateral surface.
