Article Abstract
While there is agreement on the indications for intracranial pressure monitoring (ICPm) in patients with sTBI, there continues to be controversy concerning the ideal timing of its implementation. It is within this context that we decided to investigate whether a protocolization approach could optimize the timeliness of ICPm implementation. Neurosurgical and SICU providers agreed to a 3-tier protocol to identify patients with sTBI who could benefit from timelier ICPm implementation. The monthly compliance was monitored for a 9-month period. The study included a pre-protocolization group of 11 patients (2022) and a post-protocolization group of 9 patients (2023-2024). There was a trend toward earlier use of ICPm but the difference did not achieve statistical significance; there was no difference in the mortality rates between groups. A protocolization approach to the treatment of patients with sTBI developed with a consensus strategy may lead to earlier implementation of ICPm and possibly improved functional outcome.

The protocolization of dental trauma treatment has significantly improved the prognosis of affected teeth. However, the primary objective in many cases is to buy time, as late complications may compromise the tooth's retention. This case report presents the long-term follow-up of an 18-year-old patient who sustained lateral luxation of Tooth 1.

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a cornerstone in the management of acute and chronic respiratory failure, offering critical support without the risks of intubation. However, successful weaning from NIV remains a complex, high-stakes process. Poorly timed or improperly executed weaning significantly increases morbidity and mortality, yet current clinical practice often relies on subjective judgment rather than evidence-based protocols.

Obesity is a chronic multifactorial disease with associated harms and risks to health, as well as to quality of life and well-being. Currently, approximately 8% of the child and adolescent population suffer from obesity. The objective was to review psychoeducational interventions based on mindful eating for the prevention and management of obesity in youth.

Background: Gastroschisis causes near complete mortality in low-income countries (LICs). This study seeks to understand the impact of bedside bowel reduction and silo placement, and protocolized resuscitation on gastroschisis outcomes in LICs.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of gastroschisis patients at a tertiary referral center in Kampala, Uganda.
