Objective: Bowel perforation is a major, yet unstudied complication of ultrasound-guided hydrostatic enema reduction (UGHR). In this study, we aimed to explore the risk factors and determine the clinical characteristics of bowel perforation during UGHR for paediatric intussusception (P-UGHR).
Methods: We retrospectively analysed the medical records of patients who underwent UGHR for intussusception at our institution between January 2011 and December 2021.
Article Synopsis
- * The study found that levels of the 5-HT receptor increased with age and inversely correlated with LFS-LTD magnitude, suggesting the 5-HT receptor plays a role in this process.
- * Manipulating the 5-HT receptor in knockout or pharmacological ways affected LFS-LTD in adult and adolescent mice, with implications for understanding LTD at the cellular level and potential treatments for psychiatric disorders.
Article Synopsis
- Intussusception is a common abdominal issue in children, and enema reduction is the preferred first-line treatment; traditionally, a history of the condition lasting over 48 hours has been seen as a contraindication for this method.
- This study analyzed the effectiveness of enema reduction in children with symptoms lasting longer than 48 hours, through a matched-pair cohort study involving 494 patients in each of two groups: those with less than 48 hours of illness and those with longer durations.
- Results indicated that enema reduction was similarly successful and safe in both groups, with comparable success rates (98.18% vs. 97.37%), recurrence rates (13.36% vs. 11.94%), and
Background: Prognostic evaluation of elderly patients with hip fracture is an issue that has been highly concerned by clinicians. Only a few studies have focused on organ dysfunction after hip fracture in the elderly. This study aimed to investigate the association between high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) at admission and organ dysfunction during hospitalization in elderly patients with hip fracture.

- This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two biomarkers, GDF-15 and NT-proBNP, in predicting the one-year mortality of hospitalized patients with acute heart failure (AHF).
- Data from 260 AHF patients showed that those who died had higher levels of both biomarkers compared to survivors, and using ROC analyses, it was found that their predictive values were similar, with no significant difference between them.
- Combining GDF-15 and NT-proBNP improved the accuracy of predicting long-term mortality in AHF patients, suggesting that using both markers together can help identify high-risk individuals earlier.
