A prospective comparative study of open versus laparoscopic stage II Fowler-Stephens orchidopexy in pediatric patients.

Introduction: Laparoscopic Fowler Stephens orchidopexy, single stage or two-stage, is now routinely performed in non-palpable testis. We performed second stage orchidopexy as open inguinal approach and compared the outcome of this approach to two-staged laparoscopic orchidopexy.

Methods: We performed a prospective randomized interventional study of two different approaches for intra-abdominal testis.

UTILITY OF ENDOSCOPIC NARROW-BAND IMAGING FOR IDENTIFYING H. PYLORI-ASSOCIATED GASTRITIS IN CHILDREN.

Background: Conventional white light endoscopic (WLE) findings of H. pylori-associated gastritis are often non-specific and may not correlate with histology. Narrow band imaging (NBI), an optical digital technique employed for the visualization of vessels and patterns of gastric mucosa may improve identification.

Implementation of Electives in Emergency Medicine for Medical Undergraduates and Evaluation of Its Effectiveness.

Aims And Background: Competency-based medical education has been widely accepted across the globe and it has been adopted in the undergraduate curriculum in India from 2019. One introduction to this curriculum is the Electives postings. Electives are chosen by the students.

TiCT MXene Functionalized via Boron Doped MoS Quantum Dots: A Synergy of Heterojunctions and Doping Effect Enabling Ultrasensitive SO Detection at Room Temperature.

The design of mixed-dimensional heterostructures has emerged to be a new frontier of research as it induces exciting physical/chemical properties that extend beyond the fundamental properties of single dimensional systems. Therefore, rational design of heterostructured materials with novel surface chemistry and tailored interfacial properties appears to be very promising for the devices such as the gas sensors. Here, a highly sensitive gas sensor device is constructed by employing heterostructures of boron doped molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (B-MoS Qdots) assembled into the matrix of TiCT MXene.

Nebulized salbutamol for the treatment of transient tachypnea of the newborn: a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of nebulized salbutamol in reducing respiratory distress in late preterm and term neonates with transient tachypnea of newborn (TTN).

Study Design: Double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized trial.

Methods: Neonates with TTN (n = 134) were allocated to nebulized salbutamol (n = 67) versus placebo (normal saline) (n = 67).
