Article Synopsis
- Pediatric breast masses in children and adolescents are mostly benign, but rare malignant cases require quick identification and treatment to protect developing breast tissue.
- Evaluation starts with a detailed history and physical exam, followed by ultrasound for further characterization, and in some cases, observation is adequate instead of surgery.
- Pediatric surgeons play a key role in managing these cases, and an established algorithm recommends careful diagnosis and treatment, with a multidisciplinary approach for malignant lesions.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate the impact of epidural analgesia on quality outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing heart and lung transplant surgery.
- Data from 62 patients over 17 years showed that those with epidural analgesia had a shorter median hospital stay and reduced need for postoperative opioids, but no significant differences in overall survival or other major outcomes.
- The findings suggest a potential benefit of epidural analgesia, but further research with larger sample sizes is necessary to draw more definitive conclusions.
Purpose: Research has demonstrated negative environmental impacts from in-person conferences. Nonetheless, there are benefits to in-person meetings. The 2023 American Pediatric Surgical Association (APSA) meeting was mostly attended in-person.
