Perioperative complications occurred in 24 (9%) patients; 19 (8%) in the abdominal group and 5 (15%) in the perineal group. The age-adjusted risk of perioperative complications was not significantly different between those with a perineal approach compared with those with an abdominal approach (adjusted relative risk, 1.78; 95% confidence interval, 0.73-4.33). CONCLUSIONS Patients in this database who underwent surgery with a vaginal/perineal approach were not more likely to have a postoperative complication after adjusting for age compared with those undergoing an abdominal approach. Larger studies are needed to determine a more precise estimate of the impact of surgical approach on rates of perioperative complications.Glycogen storage disease is a rare congenital disorder that can lead to hypoglycemic events. This article focuses on a patient in acute distress secondary to hypoglycemia that failed to respond to initial interventions. Because symptoms can be similar to severe hyperglycemia, a thorough history and physical examination are key to prompt diagnosis and appropriate management.The introduction of noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) using cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is the newest option for aneuploidy screening during pregnancy. Compared with other aneuploidy screening options, NIPS offers a higher detection rate for trisomy 21 with a low false-positive rate. However, pretest and post-test patient counseling is essential and should include a discussion of the benefits and limitations, the screening rather than diagnostic nature of the test, and the association of a test failure with an increased risk of aneuploidy. Refer patients for genetic counseling when appropriate, particularly if test failure occurs due to a low fetal fraction or if maternal mosaicism or malignancy is suspected.BACKGROUND Many communities face a shortage of qualified endoscopists. Training physician assistants (PAs) to perform colonoscopies can expand the availability of colorectal cancer screening. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/MG132.html This study examined screening colonoscopy metrics and quality indicators among gastroenterologists, supervised PAs, and gastroenterology fellows. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing average-risk screening colonoscopy were stratified into one of three groups by endoscopist type. Procedure and pathology reports were reviewed for the technical performance and quality metrics of the providers. RESULTS PAs performed comparably to gastroenterologists in technical performance and quality metrics, and demonstrated higher cecal intubation rates than their gastroenterologist colleagues. Comparisons of attending physicians and PAs grouped by years of experience also did not show notable differences in performance. CONCLUSIONS In a supervised practice, PAs performed on par with their gastroenterology colleagues on established colonoscopy quality indicators. Following proper training, PAs can be employed in the provision of screening colonoscopy.Over the past decade, concern for negative outcomes associated with concussive brain trauma has grown immensely. These neuropathologic changes, termed chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), have been linked to patients who exhibit neuropsychiatric symptoms and have experienced repetitive brain trauma. Recent publicity has brought about renewed interest in this progressive neurodegenerative disorder. This article will share the advances that have been made with CTE.Most germ cell tumors arise from the testicles and often are self-diagnosed. Extragonadal germ cell tumors are rare and vary greatly in their clinical presentations. This case report describes a 24-year-old man with an unusual presentation for an extragonadal germ cell tumor.OBJECTIVE To describe the management of anemia at PICU discharge by pediatric intensivists. DESIGN Self-administered, online, scenario-based survey. SETTING PICUs in Australia/New Zealand, Europe, and North America. SUBJECTS Pediatric intensivists. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Respondents were asked to report their decisions regarding RBC transfusions, iron, and erythropoietin prescription to children ready to be discharged from PICU, who had been admitted for hemorrhagic shock, cardiac surgery, craniofacial surgery, and polytrauma. Clinical and biological variables were altered separately in order to assess their effect on the management of anemia. Two-hundred seventeen responses were analyzed. They reported that the mean (± SEM) transfusion threshold was a hemoglobin level of 6.9 ± 0.09 g/dL after hemorrhagic shock, 7.6 ± 0.10 g/dL after cardiac surgery, 7.0 ± 0.10 g/dL after craniofacial surgery, and 7.0 ± 0.10 g/dL after polytrauma (p less then 0.001). The most important increase in transfusion threshold was observed in the presence of a cyanotic heart disease (mean increase ranging from 1.80 to 2.30 g/dL when compared with baseline scenario) or left ventricular dysfunction (mean increase, 1.41-2.15 g/dL). One third of respondents stated that they would not prescribe iron at PICU discharge, regardless of the hemoglobin level or the baseline scenario. Most respondents (69.4-75.0%, depending on the scenario) did not prescribe erythropoietin. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric intensivists state that they use restrictive transfusion strategies at PICU discharge similar to those they use during the acute phase of critical illness. Supplemental iron is less frequently prescribed than RBCs, and prescription of erythropoietin is uncommon. Optimal management of post-PICU anemia is currently unknown. Further studies are required to highlight the consequences of this anemia and to determine appropriate management.We present clinical and chest computed tomography (CT) features of 5 cases of pediatric patients with 2019 novel coronavirus. Two patients had fever and dry cough, whereas the rest of 3 patients were asymptomatic. Three patients had unilateral ground glass opacities with or without consolidation in the subpleural region on high-resolution chest CT, 1 patient had bilateral ground glass opacities, and 1 patient was negative for CT. We note that up to 66.7% asymptomatic patients had pulmonary lesions, so the asymptomatic children with Wuhan contact are recommended to do a 2019 novel coronavirus real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction screening. Unlike adult patients, only a small amount of patients had multilobes affected, so we speculate that the pediatric patients generally have milder CT findings than adults.
