Acute Kidney Injury and Outcomes in Infants, Children, and Adolescents, Supported With Extracorporeal Life Support for Cardiopulmonary Failure.

In neonatal and pediatric patients who require extracorporeal life support (ECLS), 60-70% develop acute kidney injury (AKI). Acute kidney injury has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We sought to describe our center's experience with AKI in patients requiring ECLS and its effect on outcomes.

Pulmonary Artery Banding and Arch Repair vs Norwood for Unbalanced Atrioventricular Canal Defect.

Background: The outcomes of single-ventricle palliation in unbalanced atrioventricular canal defect with coarctation of aorta (uAVC+CoA) have not been well studied. Systemic ventricle outflow tract obstruction has a propensity to develop in these patients after aortic arch repair with pulmonary artery banding (arch-PAB), which may adversely affect survival and Fontan candidacy.

Methods: A retrospective review was performed of patients who underwent single-ventricle palliation for uAVC+CoA from 2000 to 2022.

Association of Clinical Staging of OSMF with Habit of Smokeless Tobacco Consumption - Hospital Based Cross Sectional Study.

The growing prevalence and cultural acceptance of consumption of flavored arecanut and related products along with traditional smokeless tobacco products are confounding the scenario.

Objectives: To find out clinical staging of OSMF and correlate it with consumption of smokeless tobacco usage related factors among subjects with oral sub mucous fibrosis in Ahmedabad city.
