Many exciting new initiatives are described in this month's international organisations' update (see pages 600-604). One that caught my eye is the first EPUAP focus meeting on 'Technological Innovations in Pressure Ulcer Diagnosis, Prevention and Treatment', which takes place in Tel Aviv, Israel, on 16-17 April 2012. In case you're wondering how relevant a focus group on technological innovation is to you, especially in this current climate of cuts and cost savings, then please note this is an opportunity for clinicians to influence, in part, the scientific agenda of both researchers and industry.

Cardiothoracic Surgery, Rady Children's Hospital San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA.
Background: Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a challenging congenital cardiac lesion to surgically master. We utilize computed tomography-guided-three-dimensional (3D) modeling/printing and novel in-house software to delineate anatomical relationships providing operative insight into the surgical approach. Our intent is to highlight this and showcase our technology.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic performance and clinical impact of targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) in patients with suspected lower respiratory tract infections.
Methods: Following propensity score matching, we compared the diagnostic performances of tNGS and metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). Furthermore, the diagnostic performance of tNGS was compared with that of culture, and its clinical impact was assessed.
Evaluation of a transverse perineal approach to the canine vagina and vestibule.
Front Vet Sci
January 2025
Department of Clinical Sciences, North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine, Raleigh, NC, United States.
There are a variety of surgical conditions impacting the canine vagina and vestibule that require access through a caudal approach. A standard vertical episiotomy involves making an incision beginning ventral to the anus and extending ventrally through the dorsal commissure of the vulva and into the lumen of the vestibule and distal vagina. The objective of this study was to determine if complex vaginal procedures could be performed via a transverse perineal approach, thus eliminating the need to incise and reconstruct the vulva as performed in a standard episiotomy, and to evaluate the feasibility of vaginal resection with vulvar-sparing vestibular urethrostomy using this transverse approach.
