Overcoming language barriers in pediatric care: a multilingual, AI-driven curriculum for global healthcare education.

Background: Online medical education often faces challenges related to communication and comprehension barriers, particularly when the instructional language differs from the healthcare providers' and caregivers' native languages. Our study addresses these challenges within pediatric healthcare by employing generative language models to produce a linguistically tailored, multilingual curriculum that covers the topics of team training, surgical procedures, perioperative care, patient journeys, and educational resources for healthcare providers and caregivers.

Methods: An interdisciplinary group formulated a video curriculum in English, addressing the nuanced challenges of pediatric healthcare.

Pediatric invasive fungal rhinosinusitis.

Pediatric invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (PIFR) is a rapidly progressive, potentially fatal disease. Previous medical literature demonstrates that its early diagnosis significantly reduces the risk of mortality in these patients. This study aims to present an updated clinical algorithm for optimized diagnosis and management of PIFR.

Systemic bevacizumab as adjuvant therapy for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis in children: A series of three pediatric cases and literature review.

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), a viral disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), is the most common benign neoplasm of the larynx among children and the second most frequent cause of infantile hoarseness. The course of the disease is variable; some patients experience spontaneous remission, while others may develop an aggressive respiratory compromise. Especially juvenile-onset RRP cases experience shorter intervals between surgical interventions and thus more surgeries overall, causing high rates of depression and voice-related quality of life.

Middle ear risk index (MERI) as a prognostic factor for tympanoplasty success in children.

Tympanoplasty performed in childhood has been controversial over the years because there is no clarity in determining what prognostic factors lead to surgical success. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the Middle Ear Risk Index (MERI) score on the success of pediatric tympanoplasty. A retrospective case-control study was performed at a tertiary pediatric referral center.

Factors associated with all-cause mortality in pediatric invasive fungal rhinosinusitis.

Introduction: Pediatric invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (PIFR) is a potentially lethal infection seen in immunocompromised pediatric patients. Even with timely treatments, mortality ranges between 18 and 80% of the cases.

Objective: To analyze the factors associated with all-cause mortality in pediatric patients with acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis.

Hamartoma of the Vallecula in a Five-Month-Old Infant- A Case Report.

Introduction: Hamartomas is a neoplasms composed of mature tissue elements from the affected site with disproportion between their components. Although lingual hamartomas are traditionally infrequent in the head and neck, a significant number of case reports with this disorder in infancy are arising from the literature.

Case Report: We present a remarkable case of a vallecular hamartoma in a 5-month-old infant.

Chemically Assisted Dissection With Sodium 2-Mercaptoethanesulfonate (MESNA) in the Surgical Management of Pediatric Cholesteatoma.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the chemically assisted dissection with sodium 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate (MESNA), in the reduction of residual and recurrent cholesteatoma after mastoidectomy in children with chronic cholesteatomatous otitis media (CCOM).

Study Design: Retrospective case-control study.

Setting: Tertiary referral center.

Características otorrinolaringológicas en niños con trisomía 21: un estudio de 171 pacientes en el Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez.

Introduction: Children with trisomy 21 face a wide range of conditions in the head and neck region, for which it is important that physicians are aware and have a strong understanding of the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) disorders, and their management as well.

Methods: Retrospective case series of pediatric patients with trisomy 21. The spectrum of otolaryngological manifestations, their management, and outcomes of each case were analysed.

Complete polysomnographic parameters in infants with severe laryngomalacia prior to and after supraglottoplasty.

Introduction: Laryngomalacia is the most common congenital laryngeal anomaly. Because of supraglottic prolapse, laryngomalacia may be associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and sleep disturbances. The effects of OSA and sleep disorders in children include failure to thrive, cognitive and behavioral disturbances, cardiovascular compromise, and an association with sudden infant death syndrome.

[Tiempo de respuesta terapéutica al propranolol sistémico en el manejo de hemangiomas subglóticos pediátricos: serie de casos y revisión de la literatura].

Background: Airway hemangiomas are congenital neoplasms of low incidence. Its clinical presentation consists of obstruction of the upper airway with progressive dyspnea and stridor and the life of the patient at risk. Infantile hemangiomas have an incidence at birth of 2%, increasing to 9% at 12 months of life.

Clinical and sociodemographic characteristics associated with disease severity in juvenile recurrent respiratory papillomatosis: A study of 104 patients in a tertiary care pediatric hospital.

Background: Juvenile recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JRRP) is generally aggressive and with a high recurrence rate. Currently, there is no definite curative treatment for JRRP. Therefore, a greater understanding of the aspects that influence the severity and prognosis of the disease is required.

Disc repositioning plus temporal eminectomy for temporomandibular joint internal derangement: A pilot study.

Introduction: Temporomandibular joint internal derangement is a common disorder, which usually resolves with conservative management. However, 5% of patients require surgery and although many techniques have been described, a gold standard surgical procedure has not yet been established.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcome of disc repositioning plus temporal eminectomy versus disc repositioning alone, for the treatment of temporomandibular joint internal derangement.

Endovascular management of iatrogenic cervical internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm in a 9-year-old child: Case report and literature review.

Extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) pseudoaneurysms are uncommon in the pediatric population and are usually secondary to direct trauma to the vessel. Treatment options include surgery (ligation), anticoagulation therapy and endovascular treatment. Endovascular covered stents have shown good results in adult populations, resulting in occlusion of the aneurysm and preservation of the artery without significant complications.

Assessment and management of pain in pediatric otolaryngology.

Introduction: Pain is a disease by itself and it's a public health concern of major implication in children, not just because of the emotional component of the child and his family, but also due to the potential morbidity and mortality involving it. A proper assessment of pain it's a challenge in the pediatric population, due to their lack of understanding and verbalization of hurt. Additionally, a satisfactory treatment of pediatric pain can be arduous due to a lack of clinical knowledge, insufficient pediatric research, and the fear to opioid side effects and addiction.
