Description
CONCLUSION: Chronic atlantoaxial rotatory fixation can be treated nonsurgically with closed reduction and halo traction, but is associated with operative risks. Optimal pin placement is challenging in the pediatric skull and may be improved with a
Higher SARS-CoV-2 detection of oropharyngeal compared with nasopharyngeal or saliva specimen for molecular testing: a multicentre randomised comparative accuracy study
Description
CONCLUSIONS: OPSs were associated with higher SARS-CoV-2 detection and lower test-related discomfort than NPSs for SARS-CoV-2 testing. Saliva sampling had the lowest SARS-CoV-2 detection but was the least costly strategy for mass testing.
