The Isosceles Nasal Tip-Laser-Assisted Midline Assessment in Rhinoplasty.

The accurate determination of the nasal tip's spatial location is crucial for achieving symmetry in rhinoplasty. Even minor deviations can result in asymmetrical lengths and configurations of the nostrils. Our approach centers on defining the nasal tip position by establishing the midline of the nasal base and projecting an isosceles triangle.

Availability and use of rapid diagnostic tests for the management of acute childhood infections in Europe: A cross-sectional survey of paediatricians.

Background: Point-of-care-tests (POCTs) have been advocated to optimise care in patients with infections but their actual use varies. This study aimed to estimate the variability in the adoption of current POCTs by paediatricians across Europe, and to explore the determinants of variability.

Methods And Findings: A cross-sectional survey was conducted of hospital and primary care paediatricians, recruited through professional networks.

Rhinomanometry with and without decongestant used to select children for adenoidectomy: a cohort study.

Objective: Adenoid hypertrophy may coexist, and often does, with rhinitis. Therefore, in some cases, adenoidectomy alone, despite the fact that it reduces nasal resistance, may be insufficient to restore nasal breathing. Juliusson et al.

False Vaccine Contraindications Among Healthcare Providers in Europe: A Short Survey Among Members of The European Society of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.

Some healthcare providers hold or delay vaccination because of false vaccine contraindications. This study suggests that in 21.4% of scenarios (877/4096) physicians would postpone or contraindicate the vaccination, and 24.

[Paediatric research in Spain: Challenges and priorities. INVEST-AEP Platform].

Research is the cornerstone of medical progress. Paediatric research has its own nuances and represents an additional challenge due to the intrinsic characteristics of the paediatric population compared with adults. Despite the tremendous importance of childhood health and its impact during adulthood, society is still not convinced about the importance of conducting research in paediatrics.

Impact of comorbid conditions on participation in an organised colorectal cancer screening programme: a cross-sectional study.

Background: There is controversy regarding how comorbidity impacts on colorectal cancer screening, especially in the context of organised programmes. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of comorbidities on participation in the Barcelona population-based colorectal cancer screening programme (BCCSP).

Methods: Cross-sectional study carried out in ten primary care centres involved in the BCCSP.

Alerts in electronic medical records to promote a colorectal cancer screening programme: a cluster randomised controlled trial in primary care.

Background: Participation rates in colorectal cancer screening are below recommended European targets.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of an alert in primary care electronic medical records (EMRs) to increase individuals' participation in an organised, population-based colorectal cancer screening programme when compared with usual care.

Design And Setting: Cluster randomised controlled trial in primary care centres of Barcelona, Spain.
