The effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) application on airway problems in pediatric patients with subglottic stenosis who undergo balloon dilatation.
Perioper Med (Lond)
January 2025
College of Medicine, QU Health, Qatar University, Doha, Qatar.
Background: Subglottic stenosis is a significant clinical challenge in pediatric anesthesia, often necessitating interventions that can lead to various postoperative complications. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of prophylactic continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) application on recovery time and airway complications in pediatric patients with subglottic stenosis undergoing balloon dilatation.
Methods: A prospective, double-blinded, parallel-group, randomized controlled study was conducted at Health Sciences University Ümraniye Training and Research Hospital on pediatric patients with subglottic stenosis, aged from 0 to 12 years and who underwent elective balloon dilatation under general anesthesia.
Postprandial Vascular Effects of a High Potassium Meal in Patients with Treated Hypertension.

Institute of Medical Science, University of Toronto, 1 King's College Circle, Toronto, ON M5S 1A8, Canada.
Background: There is compelling evidence of an inverse association between potassium intake and blood pressure (BP). A potential mechanism for this effect may be dietary potassium-mediated augmentation of endothelium-dependent relaxation. To date, studies have investigated potassium intake supplementation over several weeks in healthy volunteers with variable results on vascular function.

Historically, blind intrauterine procedures such as dilation and curettage (D&C) and blind endometrial biopsies have been the primary approach for diagnosing and managing intrauterine pathologies. However, these techniques lack direct visualization, leading to diagnostic limitations, incomplete treatment, and increased complication rates. Despite substantial advances in hysteroscopic technology, including high-definition imaging and minimally invasive instruments, blind procedures remain widely used.

Cardiology, University Heart Center Zurich, University Hospital Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
Background: The mechanism of how sacubitril/valsartan improves outcomes in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is still incompletely understood.
Objectives: The aim of this trial was to delineate the effects of sacubitril/valsartan on endothelial function, retinal microvascular function, and arterial stiffness in HFrEF.
Methods: This double-blind controlled trial randomized 79 stable HFrEF patients with NYHA class II-IV on guideline-recommended therapy (mean age: 59.
A novel approach for the early prediction and prevention of placenta accreta spectrum and severe peripartum hemorrhage in patients with complete placenta previa: leveraging three-dimensional placental topography, cervical length, and dilatation parameters on magnetic resonance imaging.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the reliability of placental volume and MRI indicators in predicting placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) and severe peripartum hemorrhage (SPPH) in women with complete placenta previa.
- Involving 216 pregnant women, data were analyzed by two radiologists who independently reviewed MRIs of 150 cases delivered in the third trimester, focusing on placental volume, cervical canal length, and dilation.
- Results indicated significant risk factors for PAS and SPPH, particularly lower cervical canal length and increased cervical dilation, confirming cervical canal length as a key independent predictor for both conditions.
