Influence of maternal and perinatal complications on therapeutic hypothermia in newborns with low Apgar scores.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of therapeutic hypothermia on maternal and perinatal outcomes in newborns with Apgar score<7 at the 5th min. ⋯ The rate of Apgar score<7 at the 5th min was low, and it was not associated with any maternal/perinatal complications. There was no significant difference in maternal/perinatal complications between newborns who received therapeutic hypothermia and those who did not.

Portal thrombosis after surgical treatment of schistosomatic portal hypertension.
Several studies have investigated the correlation between the effects of different surgical treatments and laboratory exams for schistosomal portal hypertension, especially concerning portal system thrombosis. The etiopathogenic factors of this thrombosis are not fully understood. In this study, the correlation between surgical treatment for schistosomal portal hypertension and the occurrence of postoperative portal system thrombosis was investigated. ⋯ Portal vein thrombosis is often observed in the late postoperative period, irrespective of the surgical treatment employed, and is not associated with patient characteristics or any hematological and biochemical tests.

Detecting pediatric appendicular fractures using artificial intelligence.
The primary objective was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of a deep learning-based artificial intelligence model for the detection of acute appendicular fractures in pediatric patients presenting with a recent history of trauma to the emergency department. The secondary goal was to examine the effect of assistive support on the emergency doctor's ability to detect fractures. ⋯ A deep learning-based artificial intelligence model has proven to be highly effective in detecting fractures in pediatric patients, enhancing the diagnostic capabilities of emergency doctors through assistive support.

Hospital cohort study on survival predictors for intubated coronavirus disease 2019 patients.
The objective of this study was to assess the predictors of survival among patients with coronavirus disease 2019 who underwent tracheal intubation, as part of a hospital cohort study. ⋯ Our analysis unveiled that the risk of death in intubated coronavirus disease 2019 patients is four times higher when an emergency physician, as opposed to an anesthesiologist, leads the tracheal intubation team.
