Background: Thoracoscopic repair of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) has been reported to have superior outcomes to the open approach. We sought to evaluate adoption of thoracoscopic repair at US children's hospitals and compare outcomes to open repair.
Methods: The Pediatric Health Information System database was used to identify patients with EA/TEF who underwent repair between 2016 and 2023.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between residential greenspace and the impact of COVID-19 on health, focusing on Danish adults 50 and older during the pandemic.* -
- Researchers found that increased greenspace was associated with lower rates of COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and mortality, especially among vulnerable groups like the elderly and those with chronic illnesses.* -
- Health impact assessments suggested that enhancing local greenspace could have potentially prevented 8-14% of COVID-19 cases in the population studied, indicating benefits of greening initiatives.*
Background: The supraspinatus is most frequently involved in rotator cuff tears, a common orthopaedic condition. However, the architecture of this muscle has been described only for the superficial, anterior, and posterior regions.
Purpose: To determine the muscle architecture of the deep supraspinatus.
Article Synopsis
- A 24-week trial tested a new approach called MAYAC for young autistic children, focusing on flexible hours and parental input compared to traditional comprehensive behavioral intervention (CBI, TAU).
- The study involved 56 autistic children aged 18-60 months, measuring outcomes with tools like the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales and others.
- Results showed significant improvements for both MAYAC and CBI, with MAYAC being potentially as effective as CBI, while parents reported high satisfaction with both interventions.
