Article Synopsis
- * A study analyzed 65 subjects and found that a VTI-h threshold of ≥15.5 can help discriminate between individuals at risk for cardiovascular issues, with a sensitivity of 70% and specificity of 76%.
- * Age influences cardiovascular event rates, with VTI-h ≥15.5 showing a stronger correlation to events in high-risk variants among individuals under 40, indicating that genetic factors may modify the relationship between tortuosity and

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of perioperative respiratory complications in children following tonsillectomy with cold and hot dissection surgical techniques.
Study Design: The study was a retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Retrospective chart review was performed for all children presenting for a tonsillectomy at Texas Children's Hospital from November 2015 to December 2017.
Background: The fetoscopic approach to the prenatal closure of a neural tube defect (NTD) may offer similar advantages to the newborn compared to prenatal open closure of a NTD, with a reduction in maternal risks. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have been applied to different surgical procedures with documented advantages. We modified the perioperative care of patients undergoing in utero repair of myelomeningocele with the goal of enhancing the recovery.
