Trends in Cardiac Arrest Outcomes & Management in Children with Cardiac Illness Category Compared to Non-Cardiac Illness Category: An Analysis from the AHA Get With The Guidelines®-Resuscitation Registry.

Introduction: Contemporary rates of survival after pediatric in-hospital CPR events and trends in survival over the last 20 years have not been compared based on illness category. We hypothesized that survival to hospital discharge for surgical-cardiac category is higher than the non-cardiac category, and rates of survival after in-hospital CPR increased over time in all categories.

Methods: The AHA Get With The Guidelines®-Resuscitation registry was queried for index CPR events in children < 18 years of age from 2000 to 2021.

Palmar pseudoaneurysm following carpal tunnel release.

Carpal tunnel release surgery is a common and relatively safe surgical procedure; however, rare complications such as pseudoaneurysms can occur. Treatment of palmar pseudoaneurysms typically includes endovascular embolization or open ligation. We present a case of open surgical excision and repair of a pseudoaneurysm of the superficial palmar arch following carpal tunnel release surgery.

A Generalized Tensor Formulation for Hyperspectral Image Super-Resolution Under General Spatial Blurring.

Hyperspectral super-resolution is commonly accomplished by the fusing of a hyperspectral imaging of low spatial resolution with a multispectral image of high spatial resolution, and many tensor-based approaches to this task have been recently proposed. Yet, it is assumed in such tensor-based methods that the spatial-blurring operation that creates the observed hyperspectral image from the desired super-resolved image is separable into independent horizontal and vertical blurring. Recent work has argued that such separable spatial degradation is ill-equipped to model the operation of real sensors which may exhibit, for example, anisotropic blurring.

Global tonsillectomy practice patterns - A survey study of pediatric otolaryngologists.

Objective: There is variation in surgical techniques and postoperative management of tonsillectomy globally. Our objective was to consolidate international similarities and differences in tonsillectomy management by pediatric otolaryngologists.

Methods: This cross-sectional survey study was conducted from April 4 to May 16, 2024.

Management of Anterior Epistaxis in the Emergency Department Using Rapid Rhino and Merocel: A Cost Analysis.

Importance: Epistaxis affects approximately 60% of the population over their lifetime. When conservative attempts fail, nasal tampons are often required to stop anterior bleeding. Health economics is critical in our publicly funded system.
