Using Convolutional Neural Networks for the Classification of Suboptimal Chest Radiographs
This study evaluated DenseNet121 and YOLOv8 neural networks in detecting suboptimal chest x‐rays for quality control. Through training, validation, and testing, both AI models effectively classified chest X‐ray quality, highlighting the potential to provide radiographers with feedback to enhance image quality.

Radiographer Preliminary Image Evaluation Accuracy in Interpreting Paediatric Trauma Radiographs
Radiographer preliminary image evaluation (PIE) is a patient safety mechanism where radiographers provide a written comment describing potential pathology in radiographs they have acquired. This can assist emergency referrers in making a diagnosis when a radiologist's report is unavailable.

Lung ultrasound: a valid help in the differential diagnosis between pneumothorax and pulmonary blebs
Spontaneous pneumothorax is a relatively common disease but its radiological diagnosis can be difficult because of the insufficient sensitivity of chest X-rays. This is even more so when bullous emphysema and acute pneumothorax co-exist.

Influence of Long-term Cytotoxic Chemotherapy on the Condition of Peripheral Venous Channel [PDF]
The necessity of long-term venous access in cancer patients appears at frequent and long-term courses of cytotoxic therapy. Peripheral veins of forearms are most often used for these aims. The conditions of peripheral venous channel in 32 cancer patients,

Feeding difficulties in children with esophageal atresia: A parent‐reported multicenter study
Abstract Objective Feeding difficulties (FDs) are common among children with esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), but knowledge about their prevalence and risk factors is limited. This multicenter study aimed to assess the prevalence, subtypes, and associated factors of FD in children with EA/TEF. Methods Parents of children who
