    Abstract The purpose of this study is to explore how machine learning technologies can improve healthcare operations management. A machine learning-based model to solve a specific medical problem is developed to achieve this research purpose. Specifically, this study presents an AI solution for malaria infection diagnosis by applying the CNN (convolutional neural network) algorithm. Based on malaria microscopy image data from the NIH National Library of Medicine, a total of 24,958 images were used for deep learning training, and 2600 images were selected for final testing of the proposed diagnostic architecture. The empirical results indicate that the CNN diagnostic model correctly classified most malaria-infected and non-infected cases with minimal misclassification, with performance metrics of precision (0.97), recall (0.99), and f1-score (0.98) for uninfected cells, and precision (0.99), recall (0.97), and f1-score (0.98) for parasite cells. The CNN diagnostic solution rapidly processed a large number of cases with a high reliable accuracy of 97.81%. The performance of this CNN model was further validated through the k-fold cross-validation test. These results suggest the advantage of machine learning-based diagnostic methods over conventional manual diagnostic methods in improving healthcare operational capabilities in terms of diagnostic quality, processing costs, lead time, and productivity. In addition, a machine learning diagnosis system is more likely to enhance the financial profitability of healthcare operations by reducing the risk of unnecessary medical disputes related to diagnostic errors. As an extension for future research, propositions with a research framework are presented to examine the impacts of machine learning on healthcare operations management for safety and quality of life in global communities.

    Abstract The ear serves two vital functions of hearing and maintaining balance. It achieves these roles within three major compartments: the outer, the middle, and the inner ear. Embryological development of the ear and its associated structures have been studied in some animal models. Yet, the role of skeletal muscle in ear development and its related structures is largely unknown. Research suggests the outer ear and parts of the inner ear may require skeletal muscle for normal embryogenesis. Here, we describe the role of skeletal muscle in the development of the ear and its associated structures. Moreover, we report the possible consequences of defect in the skeletal muscle of the ear and the clinical correlates of such consequences.

    Abstract Despite the emphasis of manufacturing firms on sustainability, integration of their orientation for long-term business performance is still challenging. This article examines how manufacturing firms devise strategies for sustainability by implementing sustainability practices like sustainable new product development and byproduct management to achieve environmental effectiveness and competitive business outcomes. A survey of 207 U.S. manufacturing firms is used for empirical testing and validation. The analysis of benchmark instruments indicates a high level of internal and external validity. The findings suggest that (1) sustainability orientation influences sustainable new product development and byproduct management; (2) Sustainable new product development and byproduct management jointly and directly impact environmental performance; (3) Environmental performance is crucial in determining business performance. The technological infrastructure of a firm reports a moderating effect between sustainable operations and performance outcomes. The longevity of a firm reports a moderating effect between environmental performance and business performance. To achieve broad social orientation goals, firms take a longer time horizon, take consistent steps to promote internal stakeholders’ wellbeing, and move forward with their purposeful reputation building in the larger ecosystem. This paper expands the sustainability literature by undertaking one of the first studies integrating sustainability orientation, sustainable new product development, byproduct development, and performance chain outcomes.

    Abstract Background and objective: Esophageal carcinoma cuniculatum (CC) is a rare variant of a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Unlike other forms of esophageal cancers, CC of the esophagus is difficult to diagnose on endoscopic biopsies. This can lead to a delay in the diagnosis and increases morbidity. We reviewed the available literature to shed light on the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of this disease. Our aim is to create a better understanding of this rare disease entity and contribute to a timely diagnosis to reduce the associated morbidity and mortality.
    Methods: Extensive review of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Google Scholar was conducted. We identified the published literature on Esophageal CC from inception till date. We report epidemiological trends, clinical presentation, diagnostic and treatment strategies to correctly identify the cases to reduce the likelihood of a missed diagnosis of esophageal CC.
    Key content and findings: Associated risk factors for esophageal CC are chronic reflux esophagitis, smoking, alcohol consumption, immunosuppression, and achalasia. Dysphagia is the most common presentation. Primary diagnostic modality is an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), but diagnosis can be easily missed. To favor an early diagnosis, a histological scoring system has been proposed by Chen
    Conclusions: A high clinical suspicion for the disease along with close endoscopic follow-up with repeat biopsies is needed for an early diagnosis. Surgery remains the gold standard for treatment and is associated with a favorable prognosis when the patients are diagnosed early.

    Abstract Objective: Transcutaneous bone anchored hearing devices (BAHDs) were introduced in an effort to avoid potential complications associated with the abutment of percutaneous BAHDs. Transcutaneous BAHDs can be active or passive. While studies have demonstrated good outcomes with both, a direct comparison of audiological and clinical outcomes of these devices in the pediatric population has not yet been studied.
    Study design: Retrospective, multicenter study.
    Setting: Two tertiary academic centers.
    Methods: Between 2015 and 2019, all patients who received an active transcutaneous BAHD (Bonebridge, BB) at one center, and patients that received a passive transcutaneous BAHD (Attract, AT) at another center, were included in this study. Exclusion criteria included age > 18 years, and mixed hearing loss or single-sided deafness. Study outcomes included patient demographics, indications, complications and preoperative and one-year postoperative audiometric data.
    Results: Eighteen BB and eight AT patients met the inclusion criteria. The age range was 5-16 years. There were no significant differences in complication outcomes. Both devices demonstrated similar mean improvements in hearing thresholds at frequencies of 250 Hz (38 dB Active vs. 38 dB Passive), 500 Hz (34 dB vs. 42 dB), 1000 Hz (34 dB vs. 40 dB) and 2000 Hz (31 dB vs. 22 dB). The BB was significantly more effective at frequencies of 4000 Hz (28 dB vs. 7 dB) and 8000 Hz (29 dB vs. 6 dB) (p < 0.05).
    Conclusion: This is the first study comparing audiological outcomes between an active and a passive transcutaneous BAHD in the pediatric population. While both devices improved audiometric outcomes in the low and mid frequencies, the active BAHD demonstrated significantly better outcomes in the higher frequencies.

    Abstract Background: Thyroglossal duct cysts are usually managed with the Sistrunk procedure, which involves excision of the cervical cyst with the central portion of the hyoid bone, along with its tract. Surgical drains are commonly placed with this procedure, which necessitates postoperative hospital admission.
    Objective: The aim of this study is to determine if surgical drain placement is necessary in pediatric patients who underwent the Sistrunk procedure.
    Methods: The current study describes the outcomes of 30 consecutive children who underwent the Sistrunk procedure without drain placement. Complication rates are compared to an age-matched control group who had drains placed.
    Results: No major complications, including hematomas were observed in the study group; outpatient surgery was safely observed in 20 patients. No significant difference in complication rates was observed between the study and control groups.
    Conclusions: Routine drain placement in children who are undergoing the Sistrunk procedure may not be necessary. Subsequently, postoperative admission may be avoided.
