COMPARING QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC MARKERS TO ASSESS CARDIAC CONTRACTILITY IN NEWBORN INFANTS: PROTOCOL FOR A PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY

Introduction Neonatologist-performed echocardiography (NPE) is increasingly used in the neonatal intensive care unit, aiding clinicians in enhancing diagnostic precision and guiding treatment decisions based on underlying pathophysiology.Experienced NPE operators typically use visual estimation of the cardiac contractility and if required confirm f

Paddy rice fields may contribute to methane (CH4) emission from soil due to anaerobic conditions after flooding.Alternatives to continuous flooding irrigation in rice have been developed to mitigate CH4 efflux into the atmosphere.This study aims to investigate the effects of irrigation managements in the CH4 efflux during the rice growing season.An

Chondro-osseous respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (COREAH) is an extremely rare lesion of the abc material nasal cavity with only 11 reported cases in the literature.COREAH is of interest as it may be easily mistaken for other diseases of the nasal cavity with higher morbidity, which require significantly different management strategies.
