BACKGROUND Late preterm (LPT) newborns, defined as those born between 34 0/7 and 36 6/7 gestational weeks, have higher short- and long-term morbidity and mortality than term infants (≥37 weeks). A categorization to justify a non-spontaneous LPT delivery has been proposed to distinguish evidence-based from non-evidence-based criteria. This study aims to describe rates and temporal trends of non-...

Based on the methods of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, it was found that implementation spontaneous processes with positive entropy production during friction leads to an increase in wear intensity. Non-spontaneous negative lead a decrease The tribological characteristics diamond-like carbon (DLC) different silicon content were studied. intensity practically does not correlate coefficient. It ...

Introduction Tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration is a common life-threatening condition in children. There are controversies in the management of this condition, including the type of ventilation during bronchoscopy.  This study aims to compare anesthesia with controlled ventilation versus spontaneous ventilation in rigid bronchoscopy in children with foreign body aspiration.  Materials...
