Objectives: To determine the influence of modern airway clearance techniques using assisted autogenic drainage (AAD), whether or not combined with bouncing, on acid gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) in infants <1 year.
Methods: In this controlled trial with intra-subject design infants were studied using oesophageal pH monitoring over 24 h, during which they received one 15 min session of bouncing, AAD or bouncing combined with AAD (BAAD). The number of reflux episodes (RE) and the refluxindex (RI) were the outcome measures. The results obtained during (T15) and 15 min after the intervention (T30) were compared to a period of 15 min before treatment (T0).
Results: The results of 150 infants, evenly distributed over the three treatment groups, were analyzed. No significant differences were found in number of RE at T15 and T30 compared to T0 in the bouncing group (P = 0.42), the AAD group (P = 0.14), and the BAAD group (P = 0.91). RI was significantly lower in the AAD group at T15 compared to T0 (P < 0.01). No differences in RI were found in the bouncing group (P = 0.28), nor in the BAAD group (P = 0.81).
Conclusion: Bouncing, AAD and BAAD do not induce, nor aggravate acid GOR in infants under the age of 1 year.

Objective: To explore the surgical technique and clinical outcomes of biological total hip arthroplasty(THA) combined with impacting bone grafting for the treatment of moderate to severe acetabular invagination secondary to rheumatoid arthritis(RA).
Methods: Total of 20 patients(28 hips) with RA secondary to acetabular invagination were treated with THA of bioprosthesis combined with autogenous bone grafting from January 2012 to October 2020, including 5 males(8 hips) and 15 females(20 hips) with an average age of (55.10±4.

Article Synopsis
- * Autogenous vaccines are being explored as a preventive measure against this disease, but approval processes must consider the evolving understanding of epidemiological links across different aquaculture facilities.
- * Research using solid-state nanopore sequencing identified that 54 isolates of the pathogen from outbreaks in Bavaria likely belong to the same epidemiological unit, suggesting a targeted approach for vaccine development could be effective across multiple farms.

Background: Stroke therapy is essential to reduce impairments and improve motor movements by engaging autogenous neuroplasticity. Traditionally, stroke rehabilitation occurs in inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation facilities. However, recent literature increasingly explores moving the recovery process into the home and integrating technology-based interventions.

Background: The aim of this study was to systematically retrieve and evaluate published risk prediction models for autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) failure post-formation in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, with the goal of assisting healthcare providers in selecting or developing appropriate risk assessment tools and providing a reference for future research.
Methods: A systematic search of relevant studies was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP Database, and CBM Database up to February 1, 2024. Two researchers independently performed literature screening, data extraction, and methodological quality assessment using the Prediction Model Risk of bias (ROB) Assessment Tool.
