Delayed diagnosis of serious paediatric conditions in 13 regional emergency departments
Conclusion
Delayed diagnosis was uncommon across 13 regional EDs but was more likely among children with Hispanic ethnicity, CCCs or normal vital signs. Delays were associated with a higher risk of complications. (Source: BMJ Quality and Safety)

Analysis of ischemic stroke-mediated effects on blood –brain barrier properties along the arteriovenous axis assessed by intravital two-photon imaging
AbstractEarly breach of the blood –brain barrier (BBB) and consequently extravasation of blood-borne substances into the brain parenchyma is a common hallmark of ischemic stroke. Although BBB breakdown is associated with an increased risk of cerebral hemorrhage and poor clinical prognosis, the cause and mechanism of this process a re largely unknown. The aim of this study was to establish an imaging and analysis protocol which enables investigation of the dynamics of BBB breach in relation to hemodynamic properties along the arteriovenous axis. Using longitudinal intravital two-photon imaging following photothrombotic in...

Trends in childhood intussusception in a Nigerian tertiary hospital
Conclusions: Contribution of successful non-operative treatment to the overall treatment of intussusception significantlyincreased while that of operative manual reduction significantly reduced and bowel resection showed no change. Preoperativeutilization of ultrasonography significantly increased while mean duration of admission reduced significantly, but late presentation,morbidity and mortality rates had no significant changes.Keywords: Trends; childhood; intussusception; Nigerian; tertiary hospital.

A rare case of adult intussusception
In this report, we present a 53-year-old male with an ileocaecal intussusception. The patient underwent an extended right hemicolectomy and double barrel ileocolostomy. Histopathological review of the specimen identified the lead point as an intramural caecal lymph node which, as far as we are aware, is the first time this type of lead point has been reported.PMID:38568133 (Source: South African Journal of Surgery)
