You are never too small to make the difference. A message for everyone and a push for pediatric surgeons in training
No full textSurgery, and training in surgery, is complex as it requires to master and to transmit both technical and non-technical skills. This is particularly true when the patient is a child with its family. Academies are called to ensure that the skills needed to guarantee the optimal care to the ill child, and to its parents, are conveyed to the new generations. In this paper, after shortly reviewing the history of academic pediatric surgery and the structure of pediatric surgery training in Italy, we will give a personal view on some of the most important non-technical challenges a young pediatric surgeon will face during his/her career, that make this discipline one of the hardest and the most rewarding at the same time
Long-term follow up of infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia
No full textWith improving treatment strategies for congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH)
infants, an increase in survival of more severely affected patients can be
expected. Consequently, more attention is now focused on long-term follow up of
these patients. Many reports have emphasized associated morbidity, including
pulmonary sequelae, neurodevelopmental deficits, gastrointestinal disorders, and
other abnormalities. Therefore, survivors of CDH remain a complex patient
population to care for throughout infancy and childhood, thus requiring long-term
follow up. Much information has been provided from many centers regarding
individual institutional improvements in overall survival. Few of these, however,
have reported long-term follow up. The aim of this review is to describe the
long-term outcome of survivors with CDH and to suggest a possible follow-up
protocol for these patients

On a conjecture by Sylwia Cichacz and Tomasz Hinc, and a related problem
No full textA r-magic rectangle set MRS Gamma(a, b; c) is a collection of c arrays of size a x b whose entries are the elements of an abelian group r of order abc, each one appearing once and in a unique array in such a way that the sum of the entries of each row is equal to a constant omega is an element of r and the sum of the entries of each column is equal to a constant delta is an element of r. In this paper we provide new evidences for the validity of a conjecture proposed by Sylwia Cichacz and Tomasz Hinc on the existence of an MRS Gamma(a, b; c). We also generalize this problem describing constructions of r-magic rectangle sets whose elements are partially filled arrays. (c) 2025 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
