Participants with distal radius fractures treated conservatively with cast immobilization are assigned to one of two approaches: (1) closed reduction under local anesthesia (hematoma block) followed by traction and casting, or (2) traction and casting without formal reduction. Wh…

Many pregnant women suffer from poor sleep quality and snoring. Evidence shows an increasing association between (1) sleep disordered breathing and (2) maternal cardiovascular disease and in-hospital death. Snoring is a variant of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and OSA during preg…

The purpose of this study is to compare whole body magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, whole body positron emission tomography (PET)/MR imaging, and (if available) PET/Computed Tomography (CT) imaging for the diagnosis of tumors in children and young adults. Sensitivities, specifici…

Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD), including the development of cardiac cirrhosis and liver neoplasms (benign and malignant), occurs in a majority of patients with congenital heart disease palliated with the Fontan operation. However, the specific phenotype (fibrosis only, f…

Invasive candidiasis has a high mortality rate, around 40%. Outcome remains tightly linked to the time of treatment administration. Routine microbiological techniques give results too lately to allow prompt antifungal therapy initiation (at least 48 hours). It is important to dev…
