Purpose: Displacement minimization of seeds is crucial during surgery in brachytherapy; however, only a few reports have compared the operability of different seeds. TheraStrand-SL is a seed, in which TheraAGX100 is wrapped in polyglactin 910 thread, and intra-prostatic displacement is expected to be reduced compared with that of Thera-AGX100, owing to the complex shape of TheraStrand-SL. We conducted a prospective study on the operability and treatment outcomes of TheraAGX100 and TheraStrand-SL placement by a single operator.

- The study focused on children under 24 months with minor head trauma who had repeated imaging to assess the need for follow-up after an initial CT scan, following PECARN guidelines.
- Out of 741 enrolled children, 36 had additional intracranial injuries noted on MRI, even after being classified as having isolated skull fractures (SF) in their initial CT scans.
- Findings showed that certain factors, like subcutaneous hematoma and the nature of skull fractures, were linked to new intracranial injuries, suggesting that some kids with SF may not need surgery if there's no active intracranial injury on the first CT scan.
Purpose: Although morphological renal abnormalities in children with febrile urinary tract infection (fUTI) have been showed a predictive factor for recurrent infection, there are no available data on recurrence regarding sonographic renal enlargement at first fUTI episode, especially focusing on whether renal enlargement is temporary or not.
Materials And Methods: This cohort study reviewed the medical records of children who underwent renal ultrasound during their first fUTI during 2005-2013 and who were aged <15 years at diagnosis. We defined a kidney as temporary enlarged when the kidney length was ≥2 standard deviation above normal renal length for that age on sonography or a difference of ≥1 cm in sonographic length between the right and left kidneys, following normal renal length after antibiotic treatment.
Continuous negative extrathoracic pressure (CNEP) might be beneficial for children with severe respiratory tract infections. However, there are no available data on the predictors of its failure among individuals with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections. Here, we conducted a retrospective cohort study between October 1, 2015 and October 31, 2018 in hospitalized children with moderate to severe symptoms of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections.

- - A giant omphalocele (GO) is a severe condition in neonates that complicates surgery, with high risks of morbidity and mortality; the study discusses a successful case using collagen-based artificial dermis (CAD) for treatment.
- - The case involved a female neonate with a GO where her abdominal organs, including the liver, were outside her body; previous treatment attempts, such as forming a silo, faced challenges like infection and perforation of the intestine.
- - Ultimately, using CAD facilitated effective healing of the abdominal wall and allowed for the safe discharge of the neonate after an extended hospital stay, suggesting CAD as a viable option for similar cases facing epithelialization difficulties.
Human norovirus (NoV) is an important cause of the epidemic acute gastroenteritis in children and adults. This review mentions on the required knowledge to understand morphology, genetics, transmission, pathogenesis, and control. The development of molecular diagnostic techniques is clarified the epidemiological impact that is now recognized not only as the major cause of foodborne gastroenteritis outbreaks but also as a cause of sporadic gastroenteritis.
