Laser-Based Length-Measuring Board for the Measurement of Infant Body Length from Outside an Incubator: Proposal and Assessment of a Model.
Children (Basel)
December 2024
Instituto de Plasmas e Fusão Nuclear, Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, 1049-001 Lisbon, Portugal.
Introduction: Opening the incubator side wall to insert a non-sterile length-measuring device carries the risk of microbial contamination and thermal instability for preterm infants. To reduce this inconvenience, a laser-based length-measuring board is proposed to measure body length from outside the incubator.
Methods: This device has two laser-line-shaped cursors which can be pointed to opposite ends of a segment to be measured.
Applying the Principles of Trauma-Informed Care to the Evaluation and Management of Patients Who Undergo Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.
Obes Surg

Department of Surgery, Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, Cleveland, OH, USA.
Evaluation of relevant psychosocial variables is an important aspect of comprehensive, high-quality metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) care. Given the high rates of adverse childhood experience (ACEs) and other forms of trauma experienced later in life reported by individuals with class III obesity, it is time to apply the principles of trauma-informed care to the multidisciplinary care of MBS patients. This narrative review begins with a summary of the literature on the psychosocial functioning of individuals who present for MBS.

December 2024
Faculty of Medicine, Department of Anatomy, Gaziantep University, Gaziantep, Türkiye, Turkey.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how the hyoid bone (HB) in children changes as they age, using CT images from 129 kids aged 1-17 years.
- Key findings showed that most measurements of the HB increased with age, while the angle of the greater horns decreased, suggesting specific growth patterns.
- Four types of HB shapes were identified, with their presence correlating with age but not gender, indicating variations in morphology during childhood development.
Long-gap esophageal atresia: is native esophagus preservation always possible?
Front Pediatr
August 2024
Pediatric Surgery Unit, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences and Advanced Technologies, G. F. Ingrassia, University of Catania, AOU Policlinico "G. Rodolico-San Marco", Catania, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- - Esophageal atresia (EA) is a birth defect resulting in a discontinuous esophagus, often linked to tracheo-esophageal fistula (TEF), and poses surgical challenges when there's a long gap (LGEA) between esophageal ends.
- - A study reviewed 10 patient cases of LGEA from 2013-2024, focusing on surgery aiming to preserve the native esophagus, with techniques like delayed primary anastomosis and traction staged repair utilized.
- - The findings suggest that preserving the native esophagus is viable and crucial for improving patients' quality of life, veering away from more severe long-term complications that can arise from alternative surgeries.
Identification of novel compound heterozygous variants of the ALMS1 gene in a child with Alström syndrome by whole genome sequencing.

Article Synopsis
- Alström syndrome (ALMS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the ALMS1 gene, characterized by symptoms such as retinal dystrophy, obesity, hearing loss, and type 2 diabetes.
- A 10-year-old Chinese girl with ALMS was studied, revealing novel genetic variants through advanced sequencing methods, including a frameshift mutation and a large deletion in the ALMS1 gene.
- The study concluded that these new genetic findings enhance the understanding of ALMS1 mutations and provide valuable clinical insights into the syndrome, especially in patients with unique structural anomalies like cor triatriatum sinister (CTS).
