A deep learning model adjusting for infant gender, age, height, and weight to determine whether the individual infant suit ultrasound examination of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).

Objective: To examine the correlation between specific indicators and the quality of hip joint ultrasound images in infants and determine whether the individual infant suit ultrasound examination for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).

Method: We retrospectively selected infants aged 0-6 months, undergone ultrasound imaging of the left hip joint between September 2021 and March 2022 at Shenzhen Children's Hospital. Using the entropy weighting method, weights were assigned to anatomical structures.

Association between inflammatory burden index and all-cause mortality in the general population aged over 45 years: Data from NHANES 2005-2017.

Background And Aim: The objective of this study was to investigate the association between inflammatory burden index (IBI) and all-cause mortality in the general population aged over 45 years.

Methods And Results: The study included 8827 participants from the National Health and Examination Nutrition Survey (NHANES) who were aged over 45 years. The IBI was calculated using three markers: C-reaction protein × neutrophil/lymphocyte, and all the participants were classified into four groups (Quartile 1: IBI ≤0.

Effects of prophylactic antibiotic administration and antibiotic timing on culture results and clinical outcomes of paediatric musculoskeletal infection: a protocol for a randomised controlled clinical trial.

Introduction: Musculoskeletal infection (MSI) is a common cause of morbidity among the paediatric population. Some clinicians recommend withholding prophylactic antibiotics until culture collection with an aim to improve the culture sensitivity. However, a recent retrospective study reported that prophylactic antibiotic administration did not affect culture sensitivities in either disseminated or local MSI in paediatric population, which is surprising.

Comparison of different treatments for children with radial neck fracture and analysis of prognostic factors.

Introduction: The aim of this was to analyze the effect of different treatment options on radial neck fractures in children and to explore the factors affecting the prognosis of fractures.

Methods: The clinical data of 131 children with radial neck fractures admitted to our hospital from 2010 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were divided into 6 groups according to treatment methods [manual reduction with Kirschner wires (K-wires) for internal fixation (group A); manual reduction with elastic stable intramedullary nails (ESINs) for internal fixation (group B); leverage reduction with K-wires for internal fixation (group C); leverage reduction with ESINs for internal fixation (group D); manual and leverage reduction with K-wires/ESINs for internal fixation (group E); and open reduction with K-wires/ESINs for internal fixation (group F)]. Postoperative elbow function and complications were analyzed.

Prohibitin 2 deficiency impairs cardiac fatty acid oxidation and causes heart failure.

Fatty acids are the most major substrate source for adult cardiac energy generation. Prohibitin 2 (PHB2), a highly conserved protein located in mitochondrial inner membrane, plays key roles in cellular energy metabolic homeostasis. However, its functions in regulating cardiac fatty acid metabolism have remained largely unknown.
