CONCLUSION: Patients undergoing pre-operative SPECT MPI are at increased cardiovascular risk which may reflect selection bias or unmeasured confounders. Resting perfusion abnormalities may identify patients at higher risk, potentially helping guide peri-operative care.

A retrospective case series was conducted on pediatric patients with Down syndrome who underwent choanal narrowing repair at a tertiary pediatric center between May 2017 and July 2024. Of the 84 patients who underwent repair, 13 children with Down syndrome (mean age: 2.54 years) were identified, representing 15.5% of the cohort. All had choanal narrowing (30%-80% stenosis, mean: 62%) and underwent concurrent airway procedures including adenoidectomy (n = 9), turbinate reduction (n = 7), and...

CONCLUSION: Intracorporeal anastomosis during minimally invasive right colectomy is associated with a lower rate of incisional hernias and other benefits compared to the extracorporeal approach. These data support continued training in and implementation of intracorporeal anastomotic techniques.

CONCLUSIONS: OMT may benefit refractory chronic traumatic pain and mobility limitations regardless of the time since inciting the injury. This is the first major publication from the OTP and bolsters proof-of-concept for an organized OMT program at a level 1 trauma center. Further study, including comparative analysis with more formalized pain assessments utilizing validated tools as well as standardized OMT session surveys, is warranted.
