Development, implementation, and evaluation of a 3D‐printed high‐fidelity pediatric mannequin with expected hard‐to‐intubate airway by Luca Puggelli, Marta Mencarelli, Paola Serio, Rocco Furferi, Francesca Amoretti, Yary Volpe

“…Despite its importance, in literature appears a deficiency of pediatric pathological mannequins, especially those simulating difficult airway management due to the obstruction of the passage of tubes, fiberscopes, or catheters. Given the importance of simulating complex scenarios in the medical staff's training, the authors decided to realize a modular high‐fidelity pathological mannequin with nasal access using reverse engineering and additive manufacturing techniques within T3Ddy, a joint laboratory between Meyer Children's Hospital of Florence and the Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Florence. …”

Symptomatic Abdominal Simple Cysts: Is Percutaneous Sclerotherapy with Hypertonic Saline and Bleomycin a Treatment Option? by V. D. Souftas, M. Kosmidou, M. Karanikas, D. Souftas, G. Menexes, P. Prassopoulos

“…Initially CT-guided drainage was performed; the next day the integrity of the cyst/exclusion of extravasation or communications was evaluated under fluoroscopy, followed by two injections/reabsorptions of the same quantity of hypertonic NaCl 15% solution and three-time repetition of the same procedure with the addition of bleomycin. The catheter was then removed; the patients were hospitalized for 12 hours and underwent follow-ups on 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 12th months. …”
