The Impact of Deep Learning on Determining the Necessity of Bronchoscopy in Pediatric Foreign Body Aspiration: Can Negative Bronchoscopy Rates Be Reduced?

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the role of deep learning methods in diagnosing foreign body aspiration (FBA) to reduce the frequency of negative bronchoscopy and minimize potential complications.

Methods: We retrospectively analysed data and radiographs from 47 pediatric patients who presented to our hospital with suspected FBA between 2019 and 2023. A control group of 63 healthy children provided a total of 110 PA CXR images, which were analysed using both convolutional neural network (CNN)-based deep learning methods and multiple logistic regression (MLR).

Discussion of Follow-Up and Treatment Results of Children With High-Grade Renal Trauma.

Purpose: The aim of the study is to examine the follow-up and treatment results of late renal functions in children with high-grade (Grades 4, 5) renal trauma resulting from blunt abdominal injury.

Methods: The follow-up and treatment reports of 41 patients with renal trauma admitted to our clinic between the years 2005 and 2015 were reviewed retrospectively.

Results: Eight of the 41 cases had Grade 1, five had Grade 2, and 12 had Grade 3 renal trauma.

The Effects of Smoking in Patients in the Intensive Care Unit During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to see the effects of smoking prevalence, the length of stay regarding the usage of cigarettes, and the effects on the mortality of COVID-19 in our Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Methods: This is a retrospective single-centered study that was done in the ICU on patients with COVID-19 between 16th of March and 16 of May in 2020. The demographic data, comorbidity status, the units they were accepted from, clinical symptoms, respiratory support, prevalence of smoking, length of stay in the ICU, and mortalities of the patients were recorded.

The effect of High-Dose Vitamin C Treatment for Acute Respiratory Failure Due to Coronavirus Disease Pneumonia on Mortality and Length of Intensive Care Stay: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objectives: In our study, we aimed to determine the effect of vitamin C on short-term mortality and length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay in patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) followed up in the ICU.

Methods: The patients who received and those who did not receive the high-dose intravenous vitamin C protocol were assigned to the treatment and control groups, respectively. The primary study findings in both groups were length of ICU stay and short-term mortality, while the secondary findings were vasopressor and invasive mechanical ventilation requirements and change in sequential organ failure assessment score from the 0 to the 96th hour.

Impact of HFNC application on mortality and intensive care length of stay in acute respiratory failure secondary to COVID-19 pneumonia.

Background: In Covid-19 pneumonia, high mortality rates reported in intubated patients have raised non-invasive methods of respiratory support.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the impact of HFNC application on intubation requirement, intensive care length of stay, and short-term mortality in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.

Material-method: Patients receiving oxygen by reservoir mask or HFNC therapy in our intensive care units due to COVID-19 pneumonia were included in the study.
