Article Synopsis
- Diagnosing pediatric appendicitis through ultrasonography (US) is challenging due to the need for extensive training, prompting an evaluation of how artificial intelligence (AI) can assist in this process.
- The study involved training an AI neural network with 50 ultrasound videos, while additional tests assessed the AI's detection capabilities and its impact on pediatricians’ performance.
- Results showed AI can effectively identify appendicitis in shallow scans, but if it fails to detect any signs, it could adversely affect the users’ confidence and judgment.
Thoroughly planned labor with immediate postnatal resuscitation and percutaneous decompression is mandatory for a large mediastinal lymphangioma that compromises the cardiopulmonary function, and close observation with the administration of Eppikajutsuto (TJ-28), a Japanese herbal medicine, may be a reasonable treatment, especially when resection of the lesion seems technically challenging.
