Objective: To review the evolution of golden hour management and outcomes for infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).

Study Design: Retrospective single center cohort study of infants with CDH born 2008-2023 at a quaternary children's hospital. Infants were grouped into 3 epochs: 2008-2013, 2014-2018, and 2019-2023. Outcome measures included extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy and survival.

Result: There were 454 infants, including 106 (2008-2013), 156 (2014-2018), and 192 (2019-2023). Despite increased disease severity, survival improved over time, from 71% (2008-2013) to 82% (2014-2018) and 83% (2019-2023), p = 0.02 for trend, with no difference in ECMO utilization.

Conclusion: Management of infants with CDH continues to evolve with ongoing experience at our high-volume center. Despite increasing severity of illness, survival outcomes have improved over time. In the absence of clinical trial data, observational data should be evaluated rigorously to inform care in a data-driven manner.

Introduction Road traffic accident (RTA)-related death and disability are alarming health issues globally, which are rapidly increasing in developing countries. Timely presentation to a health center and prompt medical care are needed to prevent mortality and morbidity related to RTAs. This study was conducted to find out the hurdles in the golden hour arrival of RTA victims and to study its impact on RTA mortality at a tertiary health institute.

Micro/nano-scale robotic devices are emerging as a cutting-edge approach for precision intravascular therapies, offering the potential for highly targeted drug delivery. While employing micro/nanorobotics for stroke treatment is a promising strategy due to its ability to localize therapy and minimize drug dosage, current methods require prolonged treatment durations, increasing the risk of nerve tissue necrosis from extended hypoxia. Here a programmable colloidal microswarm capable of rapidly detaching blood clots from the vessel wall is developed, enabling swift recanalization without the need for complete clot degradation.
