Deep sedation in lateral position for preterm infants during cerebral magnetic resonance imaging: a pilot study.

Introduction: Respiratory adverse events are common during the sedation of preterm babies, often needing active airway support. During magnetic resonance imaging, this occurrence could extend the acquisition time, with a negative impact on the thermic and metabolic homeostasis. The aim of the study is to verify if lying in a lateral position instead of supine could improve the safe quality of sedation, without worsening the quality of imaging.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Lung Ultrasound in Neonatal Diseases: A Systematized Review.

Respiratory problems are frequent in newborns, and are mainly studied with chest X-rays, whereas CT scans are usually needed for the evaluation of rare malformations and diseases. Lung ultrasound (LUS] has been proposed as an alternative method of diagnosing a variety of respiratory conditions. In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in LUS studies, thanks to the ability of LUS to rapidly exclude complications and significantly reduce radiation exposure in this fragile population.

Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome Temporally Related With SARS-CoV-2: Immunological Similarities With Acute Rheumatic Fever and Toxic Shock Syndrome.

Several studies demonstrated that COVID-19 in children is a relatively mild disease. However, recently a more serious condition characterized by systemic inflammation with clinical or microbiological evidence of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 has been described. This syndrome is now known as either "Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome temporally related with COVID-19" (PIMS-TS) (1), or Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) (2) and is currently considered a rare post-COVID-19 complication which, in a minority of cases, can lead to death.

Anatomic Endodontic Technology (AET)--a crown-down root canal preparation technique: basic concepts, operative procedure and instruments.

Aim: To illustrate the conceptual basis and the operative procedure of the Anatomic Endodontic Technology (AET) technique and to illustrate the specific instruments used in each phase.

Summary: The basic characteristics of the AET technique are reported. The instruments and procedure are described in three phases: coronal access, coronal-middle preparation and apical preparation.
