Introduction: Tracheostomy is commonly performed for upper airway obstruction, prolonged mechanical ventilation and tracheo-bronchial toileting.Pediatric tracheostomy differs from adult tracheostomy in terms of surgical procedure, post-operative care and recovery.The tracheostomized patients may either be decannulated, discharged with tube-in-situ
Background: Platycodon grandiflorum is the only species in the genus Platycodon of the family Campanulaceae, which has been traditionally used as a medicinal plant for its lung-heat-clearing, antitussive, and expectorant properties in China, Japanese and Korean.Oleanane-type triterpenoid saponins were the main chemical components of P.grandiflorum
BackgroundTandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is a crucial technique for detecting inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) in newborns.However, the high false positive rate poses challenges in diagnosing specific types of diseases.Therefore, this Clutch Solenoid study aimed to evaluate the role of targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) in the accurate di
In the field of soil mechanics, especially in transportation and environmental geotechnics, the use of machine learning (ML) techniques has emerged as a powerful tool for predicting and understanding the compressive strength behavior of soils especially graded ones.This is to overcome the sophisticated equipment, laboratory space and cost needs uti
