: Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are set to revolutionize healthcare, particularly in fields like endoscopic surgery that heavily rely on digital imaging. However, to effectively integrate these technologies and drive future innovations, pediatric surgeons need specialized AI/ML skills. This survey evaluated the current level of readiness and educational needs regarding AI/ML among members of the European Society of Pediatric Endoscopic Surgeons (ESPES). : A structured survey was distributed via LimeSurvey to ESPES members via email before and during the 2024 Annual Conference. Responses were collected over four weeks with voluntary, anonymous participation. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. : A total of 125 responses were received. Two-thirds (65%) of respondents rated their AI/ML understanding as basic, with only 6% reporting advanced knowledge. Most respondents (86%) had no formal AI/ML training. Some respondents (31%) used AI/ML tools in their practice, mainly for diagnostic imaging, surgical planning, and predictive analytics; 42% of the respondents used these tools weekly. The majority (95%) expressed interest in further AI/ML training, preferring online courses, workshops, and hands-on sessions. Concerns about AI/ML in pediatric surgery were high (85%), especially regarding data bias (98%). Half of respondents (51%) expect AI/ML to play a significant role in advancing robotic surgery, oncology, and minimally invasive techniques. A strong majority (84%) felt that the ESPES should lead AI education in pediatric surgery. : This survey presents the ESPES with a unique opportunity to develop a competency map of its membership's AI/ML skills and develop targeted educational programs, thus positioning the society to take the lead in AI education and the advancement of AI solutions in pediatric endosurgery.

Clinical drug interactions between voriconazole and 38 other drugs: a retrospective analysis of adverse events.

Front Pharmacol

September 2024

Department of Pharmacy, Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, National Clinical Research Center for Child Health and Disorders, Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Child Development and Disorders, Chongqing Key Laboratory of Pediatric Metabolism and Inflammatory Diseases, Chongqing, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Voriconazole (VRZ) has potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) that can lead to adverse events (AEs), which this study aims to analyze using data from the OpenVigil FDA platform.
  • The study specifically investigates AEs linked to VRZ interactions with proton pump inhibitors, NSAIDs, immunosuppressants, and other antibacterial drugs, using various statistical methods to evaluate these correlations.
  • Out of 38 investigated drugs, 262 AEs were found, with 77 showing significant positive correlations with DDIs, notably highlighting graft-versus-host disease in immunosuppressant interactions and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome with other antibacterials, while also identifying sex and age differences in AEs.

Clinical drug interactions between linezolid and other antibiotics: For adverse drug event monitoring.

Pharmacol Res Perspect

August 2024

Department of Pharmacy, Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, National Clinical Research Center for Child Health and Disorders, Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Child Development and Disorders, Chongqing Key Laboratory of Child Rare Diseases in Infection and Immunity, Chongqing Key Laboratory of Pediatrics, Chongqing, China.

Detailed data on safety associated with drug-drug interactions (DDIs) between Linezolid (LZD) and other antibiotics are limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the safety signals related to these DDIs and to provide a reference for clinically related adverse drug event monitoring. Adverse event (AE) information from 1 January 2004 to 16 June 2022 of the target antibiotics including LZD using alone or in combination with LZD was extracted from the OpenVigil FDA data platform for safety signal analysis.

To explore the correlation between different types of microcirculation alterations and the prognosis in patients with septic shock. This research employed a prospective observational study methodology for selecting subjects with septic shock. Side-stream dark field(SDF) was used to monitor the sublingual microcirculation to determine the total vascular density (TVD), perfused vessel density (PVD), the proportion of perfused vessels (PPV), and the microvascular flow index (MFI), heterogeneity index (HI) indicators.
