AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
In a prospective randomized study polyglycolic acid sutures (PGA) and polyester sutures for closure of median abdominal fascial incisions are compared. Occurrence of infection, incisional hernia, wound dehiscence and suture fistulas is evaluated. With regard to these complications no significant differences could be detected. PGA shows its advantage in less tissue reaction (avoiding fistulae).

Department of Pediatrics, Kansai Medical University, Hirakata, Osaka, Japan.
Objectives: This retrospective study aimed to investigate the feasibility of surgical closure of ventricular septal defect in children with trisomy 18 by assessing perioperative events and long-term survival.
Methods: From April 2008 to March 2024, 41 consecutive patients were referred to us for ventricular septal defect surgery. The defect was closed in 35 patients at the end (median age, 16 months; median body weight, 5.

Focal therapy (FT) is an emerging option for intermediate-risk prostate cancer (IR-PCa). Transperineal MRI fusion laser ablation of PCa (TPFLA) is a novel FT technique with limited data reported. We conducted a phase I clinical trial evaluating the safety, feasibility, and 1-year oncologic results for patients with IR-PCa treated with TPFLA in an office setting.

Purpose: To evaluate changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) in dominant and contralateral eyes following the dark room prone provocative test (DRPPT) in the study subjects with shallow anterior chamber.
Methods: This was a prospective, single-center, non-randomized controlled trial of 43 subjects (86 eyes) with shallow anterior chamber. The dominant eye was identified using the card-hole method.
Estimating the impact of school closures on the COVID-19 dynamics in 74 countries: A modelling analysis.
PLoS Med
January 2025
School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.
Background: School closures have been a prominent component of the global Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) response. However, their effect on viral transmission, COVID-19 mortality and health care system pressure remains incompletely understood, as traditional observational studies fall short in assessing such population-level impacts.
Methods And Findings: We used a mathematical model to simulate the COVID-19 epidemics of 74 countries, incorporating observed data from 2020 to 2022 and historical school closure timelines.
