Evaluation of Genetic Polymorphisms of the Antioxidant Enzymes and Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress in Preterm Neonates With Respiratory Distress Syndrome Receiving External Surfactant Open
Background: Preterm neonates, particularly extremely preterm, are susceptible to respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) due to surfactant deficiency. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the antioxidant enzymes influence the balance betw…

Protocol for a randomised clinical trial of multimodal postconcussion symptom treatment and recovery: the Concussion Essentials study Open
Introduction While most children recover from a concussion shortly after injury, approximately 30% experience persistent postconcussive symptoms (pPCS) beyond 1-month postinjury. Existing research into the treatment of pPCS have evaluated …

Use of the sport concussion assessment tools in the emergency department to predict persistent post‐concussive symptoms in children Open
Aim The Sport Concussion Assessment Tool v3 (SCAT3) and its child version (ChildSCAT3) are composite tools including a symptom scale, a rapid cognitive assessment (standardised assessment of concussion (SAC)) and the modified Balance Error…

Protocol for a prospective, longitudinal, cohort study of recovery pathways, acute biomarkers and cost for children with persistent postconcussion symptoms: the Take CARe Biomarkers study Open
Introduction The majority of children who sustain a concussion will recover quickly, but a significant minority will experience ongoing postconcussive symptoms, known as postconcussion syndrome (PCS). These symptoms include emotional, beha…

Arthroscopic Treatment of Type II Superior Labral Anterior to Posterior (SLAP) Lesions in a Younger Population: Traditional Repair versus Biceps Tenodesis with Accelerated Rehabilitation Open
Objectives: Biceps tenodesis is a viable surgical alternative to repair for type II SLAP lesions in an older population; however, its efficacy in a younger population is not well studied. The objective of this study was to compare clinical…
