Delayed diagnosis of isolated congenital H-type tracheoesophageal fistula: a case report of surgical repair supported by TachoSil as an adjunct in chronically inflamed tissues.

Background: H-type tracheoesophageal fistulas (TEFs) are rare congenital malformations characterized by an abnormal connection between the trachea and esophagus in the absence of esophageal atresia. These lesions may remain undiagnosed for years due to subtle and non-specific symptoms, often resulting in chronic pulmonary complications. Delayed diagnosis can contribute to the development of long-standing inflammation and fibrosis, which significantly complicates surgical intervention.

Leveraging User-Friendly Mobile Medical Devices to Facilitate Early Hospital Discharges in a Pediatric Setting: A Randomized Trial Study Protocol.

Background: Mobile technology is increasingly prevalent in healthcare, serving various purposes, including remote health monitoring and patient self-management, which could prove beneficial to early hospital discharges.

Aims: This study investigates the transitional care program experience facilitating early discharges in a pediatric setting through the use of an easy-to-use mobile medical device (TytoCare™, TytoCare Ltd., Natanya, Israel).
