Respiratory Physiotherapy Techniques in Neonatal Intensive Care Units: A Scoping Review
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Certain physiological characteristics increase the susceptibility of newborns, particularly preterm infants, to pulmonary collapse. In addition, newborns are prone to the accumulation of airway secretions, which, even in small volumes, can compromise respiratory function.

Co‐Occurring Non‐Cardiac Congenital Anomalies Among Cases With Congenital Heart Defects
ABSTRACT Cases with congenital heart defects (CHD) often have other associated anomalies. The aim of this investigation was to assess the prevalence and the types of co‐occurring anomalies in CHD in a well‐defined population. The anomalies co‐occurring with CHD were ascertained in all live births, stillbirths and terminations of pregnancy for fetal ...

ABSTRACT Background Dedicated service for Barrett's oesophagus (BO) surveillance may be more effective than conventional service, according to some single centre studies. Objective To determine whether the surveillance of BO through a dedicated service can improve key performance indicators (KPIs), and dysplasia detection rate (DDR) compared with ...

VRK1‐Related Motor Neuropathy With Upper Motor Neuron Signs and Selective Muscle Involvement
ABSTRACT Introduction Hereditary motor neuropathies (HMN) represent a heterogeneous group of disorders with wide clinical and genetic variability. Despite advances in molecular diagnostics, approximately 50% of cases remain genetically unresolved, particularly those where distinguishing length‐dependent motor neuropathy from motor neuron disorder with ...
