Accidental injuries in the pediatric population are common. The response to injury also differs owing to anatomical and physiological differences in children. While such injuries carry a risk of lifelong morbidity, some cases may follow a benign course despite their distressing appearance.

While traditional open AVR is established, minimally invasive techniques aim to reduce morbidity and enhance treatment outcomes. The authors' meta-analysis compares these approaches with conventional sternotomy, offering insights into short and long-term mortality and postoperative results.

It may have variable presentations ranging from intact neurological status to non-survivable damage and the subjects may be surprisingly apathetic to pain. It is even unusual for such an injury to have an excellent prognosis despite coming late to clinical attention.

Article Synopsis
- A variety of antimicrobial agents were promoted as potential treatments during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a noticeable increase in their use, particularly in developing countries, where misuse has been more pronounced.
- This misuse contributes to rising antimicrobial resistance, especially since these regions have already faced challenges with drug-resistant organisms prior to the pandemic.
- The review seeks to examine how the COVID-19 crisis has impacted antimicrobial use and resistance in lower-middle-income countries, looking at unique factors that contribute to resistance and proposing solutions to mitigate the issue.
Background: The effect of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of aorta (REBOA) in lowering mortality rate compared to resuscitative thoracotomy (RT) is inconclusive. In this updated systematic review and meta-analysis, we determined the effectiveness of the two techniques in patients with noncompressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH).
Materials And Methods: Online databases (PubMed, Embase, and MEDLINE) were searched until April 23, 2021, for original articles investigating the effect of REBOA on relevant outcomes (e.
