Background: The goal of this multicenter survey was to examine the variety of pediatric endotracheal tube (PETT) management methods utilized by anesthesiologists.
Methods: A postal survey for PETT management methods was performed among anesthesiologists at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine and its affiliated hospitals.
Results: Age was the primary criteria for PETT size selection, followed by height and weight, while the surgical procedure was the primary criteria for PETT type selection, followed by age and then weight. Cuffed PETTs were routinely used for more than 70% of their patients by 57.1% of respondents; however, 55.7% of respondents had no criteria clearly defining when and how to inflate the cuff. Strategies for airway complications, including post-extubation stridor, vary amongst anesthesiologists.
Conclusions: The present study revealed that practice of PETT management depends on anesthesiologists. PETT management should be sophisticated with wide use of cuffed PETTs.

Unsustainable globalisation of economic activities, lifestyles and social structures has contributed to environmental degradation, posing major threats to human health at the local and global levels. All these problems including climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss represent challenges that are unlikely to be met with existing approaches, capabilities and tools. This article acknowledges the need for well-prepared practitioners from many walks of life to contribute to environmental public health (EPH) functions thus strengthening society's capacity and capability to respond effectively and in a timely manner to such complex situations and multiple challenges.

Introduction: Acoustic noise from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can cause hearing loss and needs to be mitigated to ensure the safety of patients and personnel. Capturing MR personnel's insights is crucial for guiding the development and future applications of noise-reduction technology. This study aimed to explore how MR radiographers manage acoustic noise in clinical MR settings.

Scientists employing omics in life science studies face challenges such as the modeling of multiassay studies, recording of all relevant parameters, and managing many samples with their metadata. They must manage many large files that are the results of the assays or subsequent computation. Users with diverse backgrounds, ranging from computational scientists to wet-lab scientists, have dissimilar needs when it comes to data access, with programmatic interfaces being favored by the former and graphical ones by the latter.
