Article Abstract
Background: We reported a case with tension pneumoperitoneum while being on high-frequency oscillatory ventilation.
Case Presentation: A 12-month-old Thai girl presented with acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, and bacterial pneumonia. Although supported with mechanical ventilation, she still had severe hypoxia. She was then transitioned to high-frequency oscillatory ventilation. During a weaning period on day 7, she developed left tension pneumothorax requiring intercostal drainage and a markedly large amount of pneumoperitoneum. In spite of a bedside abdominocentesis, her abdomen was still tense and her hemodynamics was unstable. Subsequently, to exclude hollow viscus perforation, diaphragmatic injury caused by intercostal drainage, or abdominal compartment syndrome, she was transferred for surgery. There was no intestinal perforation. Postoperatively, she was on oxygen therapy, on chest physical therapy, and kept hemodynamically stable until she had recovered.
Conclusion: A case of tension pneumoperitoneum probably caused by high-frequency oscillatory ventilation was reported. Awareness of this condition should be included in the differential diagnosis.

Neuronal networks in animal brains are considered to realize specific filter functions through the precise configuration of synaptic weights, which are autonomously regulated without external supervision. In this study, we employ a single Hodgkin-Huxley-type neuron with autapses as a minimum model to computationally investigate how spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) adjusts synaptic weights through recurrent feedback. The results show that the weights undergo oscillatory potentiation or depression with respect to autaptic delay and high-frequency stimulation.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a serious congenital anomaly often associated with pulmonary hypoplasia and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). Central vascular access such as umbilical arterial catheters (UACs) is routinely used in neonatal intensive care but is associated with the risk of vascular complications, including thromboembolic events. We present a case of preterm dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twins born at 34 weeks of gestation with antenatally diagnosed CDH.

Stress activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, releasing corticosterone (CORT), which binds to glucocorticoid (GR) and mineralocorticoid (MR) receptors in the brain. While stress influences behaviorally relevant network oscillations in limbic regions such as the hippocampus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex, the direct effects of CORT on these oscillations remain unclear. We examined the acute impact of CORT on anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) oscillations in adult male mice, a hub region for stress and anxiety regulation.

Whole-brain models are valuable tools for understanding brain dynamics in health and disease by enabling the testing of causal mechanisms and identification of therapeutic targets through dynamic simulations. Among these models, biophysically inspired neural mass models have been widely used to simulate electrophysiological recordings, such as MEG and EEG. However, traditional models face limitations, including susceptibility to hyperexcitation, which constrains their ability to capture the full richness of neural dynamics.

Tracheal injury during intubation is an uncommon condition in pediatric patients with a high mortality rate. There is no definitive consensus on the management of pediatric postintubation tracheal injury; most studies report satisfactory conservative treatment. High-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) with bedside subcutaneous drainage using a butterfly needle may be useful for conservative treatment in this group.
