Article Synopsis
- Shallow tropical coral reefs are under threat from climate change, coastal development, pollution, and physical disturbances, prompting efforts to restore these ecosystems using built structures.
- Restoration practitioners are increasingly employing various types of built structures, including artificial and natural interventions, but there is a lack of synthesized evidence on their effectiveness in enhancing coral growth and survival.
- To address this knowledge gap, a systematic review was conducted to map global evidence on the performance of these built structures in shallow tropical coral ecosystems across contexts like restoration and coastal protection.
Neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are a unique population who most often begin life acutely or critically ill. Venous access is required by most acutely/critically ill neonates, especially those born preterm. Access is required for implementing management strategies such as stabilization, medications, fluids, nutrition, and transfusion of blood products.

The management of thyroid and parathyroid pathology varies widely, with unifying goals of symptomatic control and mitigating patient morbidity. In general, surgery is indicated when addressing malignancy or when medical management is insufficient. Over the last few decades, treatment paradigms for patients with head and neck endocrine disease have shifted significantly as our understanding of disease processes has expanded and with the advent of numerous relevant technologies.

Methods: In this multi-institutional retrospective case series, data were collected from patients who underwent parathyroidectomy from 2000 to 2018 from three tertiary care institutions. APTs were defined according to the AJCC eighth edition guidelines and retrospective chart review was performed to evaluate the incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, recurrence of disease, and disease-specific mortality.
