Classical Surgical Alternatives for the Treatment of Lesser Toe Deformities.

Lesser toe deformities are the second most common deformities around the foot and ankle. Early reports of procedures for lesser toe correction date back to the 1880s. Lesser toe deformities have a high variability of appearance.

Categorization of mHealth Coaching Technologies for Children or Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes: Systematic Review.

Background: Managing type 1 diabetes in children and adolescents can be difficult for parents, health care professionals, and even patients. However, over the last decades, the quality of services provided to patients with diabetes has increased due to advances in IT.

Objective: This study aims to comprehensively document the range of IT tools used in the management of diabetes among children and adolescents, with a focus on identifying the technologies most commonly used based on their frequency.

Urinary chloride excretion in critical illness and acute kidney injury: a paediatric hypothesis-generating cohort study post cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.

Renal chloride metabolism is currently poorly understood but may serve as both a diagnostic and a treatment approach for acute kidney injury. We investigated whether plasma chloride, ammonia and glutamine as well as urinary chloride, ammonium and glutamine concentrations may serve as markers for acute kidney injury in paediatric patients. We conducted a prospective observational trial in a tertiary care paediatric intensive care unit.

Hygrothermal Degradation of Epoxy Electrical Insulating Material-Testing and Mathematical Modeling.

The degradation of electrical insulating materials has been a subject of interest for decades as they are commonly applied in many fields of electrical engineering. Suitably modeling such a process is important since the known and well-described degradation process reveals the effect of ambient conditions, and this allows us to possibly estimate a material's remaining useful life. However, not many studies are dealing with the effect of the hygrothermal degradation of impregnating mono-component epoxy resins in the context of electrical engineering.
