Newborns with coarctation of the aorta are a potentially vulnerable population whose diagnosis could have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The objectives of this study were to assess if there was delayed diagnosis of infants with coarctation and if they had higher acuity prior to repair after the start of the pandemic. The Pediatric Health Information Systems database was queried for patients less than three months of age who underwent surgical repair or palliation of coarctation of the aorta.

Background: Transurethral resection of bladder tumour has been the mainstay of bladder cancer staging for > 60 years. Staging inaccuracies are commonplace, leading to delayed treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging offers rapid, accurate and non-invasive staging of muscle-invasive bladder cancer, potentially reducing delays to radical treatment.

Spiritual care is an essential component of care for the terminally ill, because of its potential to positively impact patient perception of quality of life and dignity. However, it continues to be the least cultivated or even most overlooked aspect of palliative care and end of life. We performed a methodological review using bibliometric analysis to provide a holistic view of the scientific output published on this topic in the literature at the same time outlining present perspectives and research trends.

Unlabelled: Patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome who have been palliated with the Fontan procedure are at risk for adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, lower quality of life, and reduced employability. We describe the methods (including quality assurance and quality control protocols) and challenges of a multi-center observational ancillary study, SVRIII (Single Ventricle Reconstruction Trial) Brain Connectome. Our original goal was to obtain advanced neuroimaging (Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Resting-BOLD) in 140 SVR III participants and 100 healthy controls for brain connectome analyses.
