We reviewed hospital records for kite-string injuries among children over four years (2017-2022). Of 42 affected children, mortality was 9.5%. The mean (SD) Pediatric Trauma Score (PTS) was 8.02 (2.66), with passively involved children facing greater severity [mean (SD) PTS, 5.58 (2.23)]. Kite-string injuries, alarmingly, endanger even bystanders, urging stricter preventive strategies.

Arthroscopic Anterior-Row Fixation for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion Injuries.
Arthrosc Tech
November 2024
Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty Unit, RNH Hospital, Nagpur, India.
Anterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures are more commonly seen in children with open physes than in adults. Arthroscopic fixation is considered the gold standard in the management of such injuries. Our technique of anterior-row fixation for these injuries provides various advantages in the form of physeal-sparing, complete anatomic reduction with no anterior beaking, no arthrofibrosis, no residual instability, no intra-articular hardware, no need for a second operation to remove implants, and finally, a full range of movement with no loss of extension.

Objective: Evaluate the predictive value of sMRI, GMA, and HINE individually and in combination for early CP diagnosis and assess accuracy across varying GMFCS levels in a regional cohort of preterm infants.
Methods: We performed sMRI between 39-44 weeks postmenstrual age and GMA and HINE between 12-18 weeks CA in 395 preterm infants born at ≤32 weeks' gestation across five NICUs in Greater Cincinnati.
Native tissue repair of the female pelvic floor: A four-level surgical concept.
Int J Gynaecol Obstet
December 2024
Third Medical Faculty, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic.
This review describes our experience with native tissue repair of the visceral pelvic fascia, the perineum, and anal sphincters in women. We propose that complex repair of the pelvic floor should consider vaginal support in all three anatomical Delancey's levels, together with more caudal structures-the external and internal anal sphincters. Original illustrations were created to facilitate the understanding of the complex anatomy of common multi-level defects.

World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg

Penn State Hershey Pediatric Cardiovascular Research Center, Penn State College of Medicine, Hershey, PA, USA.
Background: The study objective was to determine the impact of cardiopulmonary bypass perfusion modalities on cerebral hemodynamics and clinical outcomes in congenital cardiac surgery patients stratified by acyanotic versus cyanotic heart disease.
Methods: A total of 159 pediatric (age <18 years) cardiac surgery patients were prospectively randomized to pulsatile or nonpulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass and stratified by type of congenital heart disease: acyanotic versus cyanotic. Intraoperative cerebral gaseous microemboli counts and middle cerebral artery pulsatility index were assessed.
New Immunosuppressants in Pediatric Kidney Transplantation: What's in the Pipeline for Kids?
Pediatr Transplant
February 2025
Department of Medicine III, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.
The 1- and 5-year patient and graft survival rates of pediatric kidney transplant recipients have improved considerably in recent years. Regardless of early success, kidney transplantation is challenged by suboptimal long-term allograft and patient survival. Many kidney transplants are lost due to immune (rejection) and nonimmune allograft injuries, and patient survival is limited from cardiovascular disease, infection, and malignancy.
