Article Abstract
Objective: To analyze the factors associated with the indication of echocardiography for the investigation of congenital heart disease among newborns.
Method: Retrospective sectional study through the collection of 848 medical records of patients admitted to maternity hospitals in Rio de Janeiro-Brazil, respecting the time frame from September to December 2022.
Results: The average age of mothers was 26.5±6.3 years; 52.7% were classified as brown. The average age of the newborns was 3.5±5.6 days. Maternal variables: gestational age (OR=6.93, CI:3.76-12.80), number of gestational risk factors (1.90: 1.47-2.45) and number of medications (1. 97: 1.40-2.77); and neonatal variables: age (1.07: 1.03-1.02), prematurity (10.55: 5.29-21.03) and number of risk factors (2.62: 2.03-3 .38) were significantly associated with the indication for echocardiography (p<0.001).
Conclusion: It is concluded that the different maternal and neonatal variables, gestational age, number of gestational risk factors, number of medications, age, prematurity and number of risk factors, respectively, showed a significant association for the indication of echocardiography. Therefore, the identification of these factors will enable the investigation of congenital heart disease at an opportune time among newborns.

Risk of Tendon Injury in Patients Treated With Fluoroquinolone (FQ) Vs Non-Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics for Urinary Tract Infection (UTI).
J Pharm Technol

College of Pharmacy, University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA.
Background: Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are associated with potential tendon injury but comparative risk versus other antibiotic (non-FQ) options for the same indication has rarely been evaluated.
Objective: Describe the incidence (relative risk) of any tendon injury in patients receiving FQs compared with other (non-FQ) antibiotics for treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Methods: A retrospective propensity score-weighted cohort study was performed to evaluate the association between FQ antibiotics and tendon injury at two time points (within one month and within six months of use) compared with non-FQ regimens for treatment of UTI.

Postsurgical adhesions are a common complication associated with surgical procedures; they not only impact the patient's well-being but also impose a financial burden due to medical expenses required for reoperative surgeries or adhesiolysis. Adhesions can range from a filmy, fibrinous, or fibrous vascular band to a cohesive attachment, and they can form in diverse anatomical locations such as the peritoneum, pericardium, endometrium, tendons, synovium, and epidural and pleural spaces. Numerous strategies have been explored to minimize the occurrence of postsurgical adhesions.

Over the past 35 years, pediatric endoscopic sinus surgery (PESS) has significantly evolved from its inception as a novel intervention to become a cornerstone in the management of pediatric sinus disorders. This evolution is reflective of a broader shift towards a more nuanced understanding and treatment of pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis (PCRS), marked by the introduction of comprehensive guidelines and the refinement of surgical indications. Recent literature and the extensive experience of the senior author, who has been at the forefront of utilizing PESS since its inception, highlight a noticeable shift in the procedure's utilization.

Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) is a cytosolic pattern recognition receptor that recognizes multiple pathogen-associated molecular patterns and damage-associated molecular patterns. It is a cytoplasmic immune factor that responds to cellular stress signals, and it is usually activated after infection or inflammation, forming an NLRP3 inflammasome to protect the body. Aberrant NLRP3 inflammasome activation is reportedly associated with some inflammatory diseases and metabolic diseases.
