Article Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to compare the fecal metabolome in post pull-through HD with and without HAEC patients and healthy young children using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
Methods: Fresh fecal samples were collected from children under 5 years of age in both post-pull-through HD patients and healthy Thai children. A total of 20 fecal samples were then analyzed using NMR spectroscopy.
Results: Thirty-four metabolites identified among HD and healthy children younger than 5 years were compared. HD samples demonstrated a significant decrease in acetoin, phenylacetylglutamine, and N-acetylornithine (corrected p value = 0.01, 0.04, and 0.004, respectively). Succinate and xylose significantly decreased in HD with HAEC group compared to HD without HAEC group (corrected p value = 0.04 and 0.02, respectively). Moreover, glutamine and glutamate metabolism, and alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism were the significant pathways involved, with pathway impact 0.42 and 0.50, respectively (corrected p value = 0.02 and 0.04, respectively).
Conclusion: Differences in class, quantity, and metabolism of protein and other metabolites in young children with HD after pull-through operation were identified. Most of the associated metabolic pathways were correlated with the amino acids metabolism, which is required to maintain intestinal integrity and function.

Purpose: To describe the surgical technique for 2-piece mushroom penetrating keratoplasty using the "pull-through" technique in infant eyes.
Methods: Using a 250-μm microkeratome head, the donor cornea was split into anterior and posterior lamella, which were then punched to 8.0 to 8.

Traditionally, tumor ablation and reconstruction using the subscapular system of flaps require two patient position changes. Consequently, ablation and harvesting cannot be performed simultaneously by two teams, which is a considerable disadvantage of the subscapular flap system. We harvested these flaps using the pull-through technique in the lateral decubitus position to decrease position changes.

Introduction: Gynecomastia is a common condition characterized by male breast enlargement, which can have a profound psychological impact on affected individuals. Surgical intervention is often sought to alleviate these concerns. This study evaluates the lateral port technique for gynecomastia surgery, which combines power-assisted liposuction (PAL) and ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) to achieve optimal surgical outcomes with no scar on front of chest.

Background/AimsVOYAGER is a prospective, real-world study of treatment patterns and outcomes in retinal diseases. Data collection often requires double entry of routinely captured clinical data, into both site electronic medical records and VOYAGER electronic Case Report Forms (eCRFs), posing a significant time and resource burden and risk of transcription errors. To overcome these challenges, an electronic medical record-to-electronic data capture solution (EMR-to-EDC) was implemented to automate the direct transfer of electronic medical record data into the VOYAGER electronic data capture.

Background: Gastrointestinal diseases in young children are often anatomic or inflammatory in nature and can present with symptoms similar to those of Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA), complicating diagnosis. This case series highlights 3 pediatric patients initially misdiagnosed with CMPA, emphasizing the need for a thorough evaluation.
Case Summary: Case 1: A 3-year-old child with chronic abdominal distension and constipation was initially treated for CMPA and was later diagnosed with Hirschsprung disease through rectal biopsy.
