    Abstract Context: Lumbar puncture (LP) is a common procedure in children, but the rates of unsuccessful and traumatic LPs remain high. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has been proposed as a tool for improvement.
    Objectives: Our aim was to systematically review current evidence on the usefulness of POCUS assisted LP in children.
    Data sources: PubMed, Embase, and the CENTRAL were searched up to November 2022.
    Study selection: We searched for randomized control trials assessing the effectiveness of POCUS assisted LP in children.
    Data extraction: Data were extracted by 2 reviewers independently.
    Results: Seven randomized control trials involving 618 participants were included. Overall, the first attempt POCUS assisted LP was successful in 72% compared with 59.6% in the standard group, regardless of the definition used. The calculated risk difference was 13.0% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3% to 23%) I2:53%, odds ratio: 2.00 (95% CI: 1.13 to 3.53), I2: 45% and risk ratio:1.21 (95% CI: 1.01 to 1.44) I2:64%. Additionally, fewer traumatic LPs occurred in the US-assisted group, with a risk difference of -12% (95% CI: -0.22 to -0.03), odds ratio: 0.45 (95% CI: 0.26 to 0.78) and risk ratio: 0.53 (95% CI: 0.35 to 0.79). POCUS did not extend the duration of LP procedure with mean difference: -1.11 (95% CI: -2.88 to 0.66).
    Conclusions: POCUS improved the first attempt success rate and reduced the incidence of traumatic LPs compared with standard LP procedure in children. Therefore, if it is available, POCUS should be used routinely before every LP, especially when performed by less experienced physicians.

    Abstract The study has been carried out on 72 fatteners being the offspring of crossbreed sows x Pietrain boars (group I) and hybrid boars of the ♂ Pietrain x ♀ Duroc breeds (group II) and, on the ♀ Duroc x ♂ Pietrain breed (group III). In m. longissimus dorsi , the content of dry matter, protein, intramuscular fat and total cholesterol has been determined. In the intramuscular fat of the muscle, the composition of the fatty acids has been determined. The hybrid boars with the participation of the Duroc breed (groups II and III) caused the increase (P ≤ 0.01) of the intramuscular fat and of total cholesterol in m. longissimus dorsi of their offspring, in comparison with the progeny of the Pietrain boars. However, the bigger quantity of those components (P ≤ 0.01) has been ascertained in the muscle of progeny of the hybrid boars, where the Duroc breed was in the position of the father (group III), in comparison with the reverse combination (group II). The intramuscular fat of the m. longissimus dorsi of progeny of the hybrid boars D x Pi (group III), contained more (P ≤ 0.01) SFA and less (P ≤ 0.01) UFA, including PUFA, in comparison with the progeny of the Pi boars (group I) and of the hybrid boars Pi x D (group II). The content of the aforementioned acids in fat of the muscles of the fatteners from the groups I and II, was similar. The gilts were characterised by better meatiness (P ≤ 0.01) and they contained less (P ≤ 0.01) intramuscular fat and of total cholesterol in m. longissimus dorsi , in comparison with the barrows. The fat of the gilts muscle contained less (P ≤ 0.01) of SFA and more (P ≤ 0.01) of PUFA, in comparison with barrows.

    Abstract Background: There is no perfect method to assess level of dehydration in children. There are studies with conflicting results, where point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) measurement of diameter ratio of the inferior vena cava to the aorta (IVC/Ao) was used to predict degree of dehydration.
    Objective: To systematically review the diagnostic accuracy of POCUS measurement of IVC/Ao ratio in predicting dehydration in children.
    Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane databases were searched. The primary outcome was the diagnostic accuracy of IVC/Ao ratio. The pooled sensitivity and specificity were calculated. Quality analysis was conducted using Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2.
    Results: Eleven studies (2679 patients) were included. The most numerous group (five studies) used percentage weight change as a reference standard; the pooled sensitivity, specificity of POCUS in this group were: 0.7 (95% CI: 0.67 to 0.73), I
    Conclusion: This systematic review and meta-analysis showed that POCUS has a moderate sensitivity and specificity for identifying dehydration in children. Its use as a complementary diagnostic tool could be promising but needs to be validated in randomised controlled trials.

    Abstract Background: Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is a common complication of spinal anesthesia that occurs in 10-80% of patients after total hip replacement (THR). Bladder catheterization carries risks for urinary tract infections, mechanical urethral trauma, urethral inflammation and subsequent strictures, pain, discomfort, an increased length of hospital stay, and a loss of patient dignity.
    Objectives: We investigated whether simple postoperative nurse-driven intervention protocols, including the sound of running tap water, followed by caffeinated hot beverages (tea or coffee) and pouring warm saline on the perineal area, could reduce POUR and the need for bladder catheterization.
    Material and methods: This pilot study included 60 patients undergoing elective fast-track THR with spinal anesthesia and early patient ambulation. Patients with postoperative voiding difficulties received nursing interventions, including hearing running tap water, ingesting caffeinated beverages (tea and coffee), and warm saline poured over the perineal area. If voiding difficulties continued, bladder distention was examined by ultrasound. Catheterization was performed if the volume exceeded 500 mL or if distension caused discomfort or pain.
    Results: Seven patients (11%) were excluded from the study due to prophylactic preoperative catheterization. Among the 53 included patients, 27 (51%) experienced spontaneous voiding difficulties and received nursing interventions, which induced voiding in 24 patients (45%, p = 0.0027), while 3 (6%) required catheterization.
    Conclusion: Simple nursing interventions reduced the need for bladder catheterization after fast-track THR.

    Abstract The aims of this study were to investigate the potential of utilising molecularly imprinted polycarbazole layers to detect highly toxic picric acid (PA) and to provide information about their performance. Quantum chemical calculations showed that strong interactions occur between PA and carbazole (bond energy of approximately 31 kJ/mol), consistent with the theoretical requirements for effective molecular imprinting. The performance of the sensors, however, was found to be highly limited, with the observed imprinting factor values for polycarbazole (PCz) layers being 1.77 and 0.95 for layers deposited on Pt and glassy carbon (GC) electrodes, respectively. Moreover, the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) layers showed worse performance than unmodified Pt or GC electrodes, for which the lowest limit of detection (LOD) values were determined (LOD values of 0.09 mM and 0.26 mM, respectively, for bare Pt and MIP PCz/Pt, as well as values of 0.11 mM and 0.57 mM for bare GC and MIP PCz/GC). The MIP layers also showed limited selectivity and susceptibility to interfering agents. An initial hypothesis on the reasons for such performance was postulated based on the common properties of conjugated polymers.

    Abstract Background: The study aimed to assess the differences in functional fitness between older men living in social welfare homes (SWH) and men living in society.
    Methods: The study involved 474 men aged 60-84, including 134 men living in social welfare homes and 340 men living in community. The Senior Fitness Test was used to assess functional fitness. Body weight and height were measured. Moreover, data on age, education, taking up physical activity and place of residence were collected.
    Results: A significantly lower level of functional fitness of SWH residents was demonstrated compared to men living in the society (p < 0.001). A significant percentage of seniors living in SWH did not reach the normal range for the Polish population. Also, the level of education, physical activity and health self-assessment differentiated the institutionalized men from those living in the community.
    Conclusions: The place of residence is a factor that differentiates seniors' functional fitness levels. The reduced fitness of social welfare home residents may also result from the low level of their daily physical activity, education and health. Introducing physical activity programs for elderly residents in social welfare homes seems reasonable.

    Abstract Parasites have the potential to negatively affect host populations, if infection intensity is high. For parasites in which part of life cycle takes place outside the host, host infection intensity is likely affected by climate condition. Therefore, the parasite's impact on the host populations could be related to climatic conditions and may be altered with climate change. The aim of our study was to analyse the prevalence and infection intensity of two nematodes (

    Abstract Electroencephalography (EEG) signals are disrupted by technical and physiological artifacts. One of the most common artifacts is the natural activity that results from the movement of the eyes and the blinking of the subject. Eye blink artifacts (EB) spread across the entire head surface and make EEG signal analysis difficult. Methods for the elimination of electrooculography (EOG) artifacts, such as independent component analysis (ICA) and regression, are known. The aim of this article was to implement the convolutional neural network (CNN) to eliminate eye blink artifacts. To train the CNN, a method for augmenting EEG signals was proposed. The results obtained from the CNN were compared with the results of the ICA and regression methods for the generated and real EEG signals. The results obtained indicate a much better performance of the CNN in the task of removing eye-blink artifacts, in particular for the electrodes located in the central part of the head.

    Abstract NCT05270291, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/.
    Objectives: In children with acute gastroenteritis (AGE), vomiting often precedes diarrhea. To establish the diagnosis of AGE, enteropathogen detection typically relies on diarrheal stool samples. However, testing requires sufficient stool sample, which may not be easily available. Recent studies suggest that in children presenting to emergency departments with presumed AGE with isolated vomiting, an enteropathogen can be identified using rectal swabs and molecular diagnostic tests. The rate of enteropathogen detection in children with isolated vomiting due to AGE may differ in various populations. Using rectal swabs and molecular diagnostic tests, we plan to assess the proportion of children with isolated vomiting with presumed AGE in whom an enteropathogen can be identified.
    Methods: This will be a cohort study conducted in the emergency department(s) of one or more pediatric hospital(s) in Poland. Children younger than 5 years with the presence of ≥3 episodes of vomiting due to presumed AGE, lasting no longer than 7 days before enrollment, will be recruited. The primary outcome will be the proportion of children with isolated vomiting in whom an enteropathogen is detected. In all eligible participants, rectal swabs will be taken to perform molecular testing for detection of typical viral and bacterial enteropathogens. All children will be followed-up at 14 days after the initial contact to classify them into one of three groups (i.e., vomiting only, vomiting and diarrhea, and diarrhea only).
