Large hiatus hernia requiring hiatoplasty - An ongoing challenge: A case series.

Aim: Evidence for the management of large hiatus herniae (HH) in children is lacking. Adult literature is conflicting with regard to risk vs. benefit profile of prosthetic mesh use; rates of dysphagia or recurrence are up to 25 % and 38 %, respectively.

The Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites (TRACERS) Science Operations Center.

The primary purpose of the Tandem Reconnection And Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites (TRACERS) Science Operations Center (SOC) is to ensure that the data necessary to achieve the TRACERS science goals are acquired, processed, and distributed to the scientific community. The SOC role in data acquisition is to facilitate science instrument planning and operations, through a weekly commanding cycle. Data processing includes generation of Level 0 and Level 1 data products, creation of Spacecraft Planet Instrument Camera-matrix Events (SPICE) kernels to provide spacecraft ephemerides and coordinate transforms for the mission, and ensuring consistency of all Level 2+ products produced by the individual instrument teams.

Effective altruism in global health: doing better, justly.

The effective altruism (EA) movement has seen explosive growth within the last decade, resulting in the allocation of hundreds of millions of dollars in funding towards altruistic causes. The movement aims to maximise good and has identified global health initiatives as especially promising. In this paper, we first present a brief overview of the philosophy behind EA and concede the importance of efficacy in the context of the scarcity of resources in global health.

The Magnetic Search Coil (MSC) on the TRACERS Mission.

The Magnetic Search Coil (MSC) instruments on the TRACERS mission provide the three magnetic components of the waves from ∼1 Hz to 1 kHz from two closely spaced spacecraft in low Earth orbit that pass through the magnetospheric cusp. These measurements of Alfvén and other waves help meet the TRACERS Science Objective 3: "Determine to what extent dynamic structures in the cusp are associated with temporal versus spatial reconnection". The TRACERS MSC uses a three axis, dual sensor coil system and amplifiers with current feedback to provide continuous analog outputs to the Electric Field Instrument (EFI) Electric Signal Processing (ESP) Board.

AI-assisted consent in paediatric medicine: ethical implications of using large language models to support decision-making.

Obtaining informed consent in paediatrics is an essential yet ethically complex aspect of clinical practice. Children have varying levels of autonomy and understanding based on their age and developmental maturity, with parents traditionally playing a central role in decision-making. However, there is increasing recognition of children's evolving capacities and their right to be involved in care decisions, raising questions about facilitating meaningful consent, or at least assent, in complex medical situations.
