A Systematic Review on the Generation of Organic Structures through Additive Manufacturing Techniques.

Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a transformative technology in the fabrication of intricate structures, offering unparalleled adaptability in crafting complex geometries. Particularly noteworthy is its burgeoning significance within the realm of medical prosthetics, owing to its capacity to seamlessly replicate anatomical forms utilizing biocompatible materials. Notably, the fabrication of porous architectures stands as a cornerstone in orthopaedic prosthetic development and bone tissue engineering.

Barriers and Facilitators to Psychologists' Telepsychology Uptake during the Beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic transformed the delivery of psychological services as many psychologists adopted telepsychology for the first time or dramatically increased their use of it. The current study examined qualitative and quantitative data provided by 2619 practicing psychologists to identify variables facilitating and impeding the adoption of telepsychology in the U.S.

Factors Contributing to Nonvisualization of the Appendix on Ultrasound in Children With Suspected Appendicitis.

Objective: This study aimed to identify the patient characteristics, history factors, physical examination findings, and sonographic findings, which contribute to a higher risk of the appendix not being visualized on ultrasound evaluation (ie, nondiagnostic or equivocal study) in patients being evaluated for appendicitis. Secondarily, this study assessed the utility of an equivocal ultrasound, specifically in the ability to predict the absence of appendicitis.

Methods: A retrospective case review was performed, of children (age, 0-18 years) presenting to a pediatric emergency department with clinical suspicion for appendicitis, who underwent sonographic studies during the 12-month study period.

A scalable high-throughput targeted next-generation sequencing assay for comprehensive genomic profiling of solid tumors.

Timely and accurate identification of molecular alterations in solid tumors is essential for proper management of patients with advanced cancers. This has created a need for rapid, scalable comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) systems that detect an increasing number of therapeutically-relevant variant types and molecular signatures. In this study, we assessed the analytical performance of the TruSight Oncology 500 High-Throughput assay for detection of somatic alterations from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue specimens.

Giant coronary artery aneurysm in infantile Kawasaki disease: When to use cardiac computed tomography angiography.

Transthoracic echocardiography is the imaging modality of choice for the detection of coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) in Kawasaki disease. However, cardiac computed tomography angiography is useful in the diagnosis of distal CAAs.
