Stem cells exhibit the ability to differentiate into a diverse array of cell types within the organism due to their undifferentiated state. These cell sources include bone marrow, induced pluripotent stem cells, and umbilical cord tissue 1. Significant advancements in clinical applications and fundamental research of stem cells in regenerative medicine and other domains have occurred in recent years, motivating individuals to delve deeper into the study of stem cells. Stem cells, owing to their virtually limitless capacity for self-renewal, offer vast potential for advancements in the treatment of various diseases and human organ damage. Stem cell-related technologies for induction and isolation are relatively developed in the field of stem cell research, and numerous stable stem cell lines have been constructed with outstanding results 2.

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of all acute pediatric patients who underwent abdominal CT in a tertiary hospital, during 2018-2019. Results: Over the 2-year period, 976 pediatric patients were admitted due to acute abdominal conditions. Of 197 (20.2%) patients who underwent abdominal CT scans, management plan was modified based on CT results in 67.5%. In non-trauma cases, the impact on the management plan was even more pronounced, affecting 91.2% of patients, and led to invasive procedures (one third), non-invasive actions (one third), or discharge (one third). Multivariate analysis demonstrated a significantly higher odds ratios (OR) for impact on management in non-trauma patients (OR=24) as compared to trauma patients, especially younger (OR=1.58 annually) and male (OR=10.42) patients, and when performed early (OR=2.44, for each day earlier). Trauma patients with a lower body mass index (BMI) (OR=1.02 per percentile decrease) demonstrated a significantly larger impact. Conclusion: These results support a more liberal use of early CT scans in non-traumatic acute pediatric abdominal conditions, especially in younger male patients, with more careful consideration in trauma patients, particularly those with high BMIs.","PeriodicalId":507793,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139197139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
