The Hyperledger fabric as a Blockchain framework preserves the security of electronic health records.

The Hyperledger Fabric (HF) framework is widely studied for securing electronic health records (EHRs) in the healthcare sector. Despite the various cross-domain blockchain technology (BCT) applications, little is known about the role of the HF framework in healthcare. The purpose of the systematic literature review (SLR) is to review the existing literature on the HF framework and its applications in healthcare.

Case report: 'Photodynamics of Subependymal Giant Cell Astrocytoma with 5-Aminolevulinic acid'.

Subependymal Giant Cell Astrocytoma (SEGA) is a common diagnosis in patients with Tuberous Sclerosis. Although surgical treatment is often required, resection may entail a significant risk for cognitive function given the anatomical relation with critical structures such as the fornices and subgenual area. Therefore, target subtotal resections using minimal invasive approaches focused in the higher metabolic areas are valuable options to preserve quality of life while addressing specific problems caused by the tumor, such as hydrocephalus or progressive growth of a specific component of the tumor.

Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring for Intradural Extramedullary Spinal Tumours.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Objectives: Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) is widely used in spinal neurosurgery, particularly for intramedullary tumours. However, its validity in intradural extramedullary (IDEM) spinal tumours is less clearly defined, this being the focus of this study.

The COVID-19 impact on air condition usage: a shift towards residential energy saving.

The enforcement of the Movement Control Order to curtail the spread of COVID-19 has affected home energy consumption, especially HVAC systems. Occupancy detection and estimation have been recognized as key contributors to improving building energy efficiency. Several solutions have been proposed for the past decade to improve the precision performance of occupancy detection and estimation in the building.

Combined measures to control the COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan, Hubei, China: A narrative review.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging disease caused by the coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which leads to severe respiratory infections in humans. COVID-19 was first reported in December 2019 in Wuhan city, a populated area of the Hubei province in China. As of now, Wuhan and other cities nearby have become safe places for locals.

Protection challenges of pregnant women against vertical transmission during COVID-19 epidemic: A narrative review.

This paper presents a narrative review study of 5 popular data repositories focusing on challenges of pregnant women protection during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study concludes that the likelihood of a vertical transmission of COVID-19 infection from pregnant women to neonates was not observed. Nevertheless, it remains a serious risk for them during their earlier stage of pregnancy, thus, special attention from health professionals has been recommended.

Hiseq Base Molecular Characterization of Soil Microbial Community, Diversity Structure, and Predictive Functional Profiling in Continuous Cucumber Planted Soil Affected by Diverse Cropping Systems in an Intensive Greenhouse Region of Northern China.

Cover crops are key determinants of the ecological stability and sustainability of continuous cropping soils. However, their agro-ecological role in differentially reshaping the microbiome structure and functioning under a degraded agroecosystem remains poorly investigated. Therefore, structural and metabolic changes in soil bacterial community composition in response to diverse plant species were assessed.

The Effect of Oral Propranolol versus Oral Corticosteroids in Management of Pediatric Hemangiomas.

Background: Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors of infancy. This study evaluated the efficacy of oral propranolol comparing to oral steroids in management of pediatric hemangiomas.

Methods: In North India from January 2012 to January 2015, sixty children <6 years old with superficial hemangiomas were divided into 2 groups; oral propranolol vs.

Does diverting ileostomy improve the outcome in children with tuberculous small bowel obstruction requiring surgical intervention?

Introduction: Abdominal tuberculosis is fairly common in children. The most common clinical presentation is bowel obstruction. Depending upon the presentation, the intestinal obstruction can be either managed conservatively or by operative intervention.

Neonatal Intestinal Obstruction: When to Suspect Duplication Cyst of Bowel as the Cause.

Background: Duplication cyst is a rare cause of neonatal intestinal obstruction. Their most common location is the small intestine. The clinical presentation is extremely variable depending upon its size, location and type and the age of the patient and are mainly encountered during infancy or early childhood.

Routine histopathological examination of appendectomy specimens in children: is there any rationale?

Objective: Primary carcinoma of the bowel is a rare malignancy in pediatric age group. The aim of the study was to assess the incidence of appendicular malignancies in children and the possibility of reducing the need for routine histopathological examination of appendix.

Materials And Methods: In last 15 years, all the cases of appendectomies in children were analyzed.

Perforation into gut by ventriculoperitoneal shunts: A report of two cases and review of the literature.

We report two cases of gastrointestinal perforation by ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts and review the literature on the topic. The time interval between shunt surgery and detection of bowel perforation is minimum in infants and increases with age. Sigmoid and transverse colon followed by stomach are the most frequent sites of gastrointestinal perforations by VP shunts.

Multicystic renal dysplasia: a diagnostic dilemma.

A 3-year-old male child had left-sided abdominal lump for 4 months. Radiological examination revealed a cystic mass in the left kidney. A tentative diagnosis of multicystic nephroma was made on clinical and radiological examination.
