Introduction: To evaluate the outcomes and demographics of encephalocele patients who were born and received treatment in our neonatal ICU and conduct a PRISMA literature review.
Methods: An Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved retrospective cohort study was undertaken to investigate the results of treating encephalocele patients at Jackson Memorial Hospital (JMH) from 1998 to 2022. The study focused on assessing outcomes and the impact of maternal socioeconomic factors, such as religion, age, and education, along with the timing of diagnosis, in connection with a systematic review.
Objective: Pediatric firearm injuries (PFI) are a public health crisis. Little is known about how injury intent may influence the outcome of pediatric cranial firearm injuries (PCFI). The current study sought to compare demographics and outcomes of PCFI based on intent of injury.

Aim: To define the duration under MV with greater chance to develop moderate to severe BPD in extremely PTNB and to compare clinical outcomes before and during hospitalization among patients with mild and moderate to severe BPD.
Methods: Fifty-three PTNB were separated into mild and moderate to severe BPD groups and their data were analyzed.
Objective: To assess the criterion validity and reproducibility of a new pedometer in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Setting: Outpatient physiotherapy clinic from a university hospital.
