We report our 3-year experience of ureteroneocystostomy without either ureteral stents or vesical catheters. There were 87 ureters repaired in 52 children. Complete followup was obtained in all cases. The operative success rate was 94.2 per cent. The postoperative complication rate was 11 per cent. None of the failures or complications seemed to be directly related to the omission of catheters. The routine omission of catheters postoperative discomfort and markedly shortened the hospital stay.

The utility of routine intraoperative CSF during ventricular shunt insertion: a 10-year retrospective cohort study.
J Neurosurg Pediatr

Objective: Ventricular shunt insertion is a common procedure in pediatric neurosurgical practice. In many areas of medicine there is a push toward rationalization of healthcare resources and a reduction in low-value tests or procedures. The intraoperative sampling of CSF at the time of shunt insertion is one traditional aspect of care that has not been rigorously evaluated.

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) account for 1 million nosocomial infections annually and 75% of all hospital-acquired UTIs. A risk factor for CAUTI is prolonged urinary catheterization (UC); therefore, transitory UC during laparoscopic appendectomy (LA), a common practice justified to avoid iatrogenic bladder injury, is believed to be safe. However, data on the incidence of post-operative UC-related complications, including CAUTI, following LA or their avoidance are limited.

Article Synopsis
- Despite advancements in clinical practices, pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a significant challenge in diagnosis and treatment due to factors like aging populations and health disparities.
- Clinicians often rely on various international guidelines for managing PE, but inconsistencies and gaps in recommendations can lead to confusion.
- This review focuses on key similarities and differences in PE guidelines and emphasizes the need for clearer management strategies and further research in this area.
Pulmonary hypertension exacerbated by hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia combined with pulmonary arteriovenous fistula and pregnancy status: A case report.

Department of Cardiology, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, Shanghai, China.
Article Synopsis
- Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare genetic disorder that can worsen during pregnancy, potentially leading to severe complications like pulmonary hypertension (PH) and even death.
- A 28-year-old woman experienced worsening chest tightness and difficulty breathing during her second pregnancy, ultimately leading to the diagnosis of HHT after genetic testing revealed a mutation linked to the disease.
- Treatment included a successful procedure to close a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation, which effectively reduced her pulmonary artery pressure and stabilized her condition during outpatient follow-up.
Does this child just have an atrial septal defect? More potentiality of interventional therapy: A rare case report.

Introduction And Importance: Partially anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is a rare congenital heart disease, often concomitant with atrial septal defects (ASDs). PAPVC usually tends to be treated by surgery, but the case we report will open up new perspectives for the interventional treatment of PAPVC present with ASD.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a 2-year-old 11 kg boy transthoracic echocardiography showed secundum-type ASD.
