NTRODUCTION
Intubated pediatric patients that self-extubate may be particularly susceptible to reintubation. Identifying factors that increase risk of reintubation allows for better monitoring and response in cases of self-extubation and can potentially identify patients needing reintubation.

INTRODUCTION
Obesity is a prevalent health challenge with high morbidity and many associated chronic diseases. Sleeve gastrectomy is currently the predominant intervention for obesity. However, weight loss results are variable. The mechanisms and factors influencing this variability are not well understood. We evaluated the correlation of metabolomic biomarkers with weight-loss.

INTRODUCTION
Several research studies have identified a positive correlation between obesity and specific receptor statuses in breast cancer, including ER-positive, PR-positive, and HER2-positive breast cancers. However, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in particular has not been studied in relation to body mass index (BMI), which suggests that an analysis of triple-negative breast cancer and its relation to obesity is warranted. This study aims to analyze the association between triple-negative breast cancer and BMI through a retrospective analysis in order to further guide patient counseling about TNBC risk factors.

INTRODUCTION
Trauma is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in children. Traumatic diaphragm rupture (TDR) is a rare but serious injury that can be difficult to identify. The current literature includes individual case reports and single center case series only, which limits our ability to generalize those findings. The purpose of this study is to use the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) in order to examine the clinical outcomes of blunt TDR in the pediatric population.

INTRODUCTION
We aim to compare time to resume full activity, postoperative outcomes, and describe family preferences of self-directed activity restrictions (SDAR) and physician-directed activity restrictions (PDAR) following routine pediatric surgeries.
Clearance Of The Cervical Spine In Obtunded Pediatric Blunt Trauma Patients: Quality Assessment Of An Existing Clearance Pathway, Rachel Kalthoff, Elizabeth Boudiab, Diane Studzinski, Nathan Novotny, Pavan Brahmamdam, Begum Akay

INTRODUCTION
Obtunded patients following blunt trauma need clearance of the cervical spine (c-spine) that cannot depend on a clinical exam. Our center’s current pediatric c-spine evaluation pathway includes both Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The objective of this study was to review our use of both CT and MRI for obtunded pediatric trauma patients to assess the quality of our pathway and utility of MRI.

INTRODUCTION
The ideal duration of perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent surgical site infection (SSI) in neonates is undetermined. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between the duration of perioperative antibiotics and SSIs in the neonatal surgical population.

INTRODUCTION
We hypothesize that esophageal perforation is not a common etiology for spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM), and that SPM is a self-limited disease not requiring routine admission.

INTRODUCTION
Breast cancer is currently the most common cancer by incidence among women in the United States with high mortality. Compared to other specific types, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is considered to be an aggressive cancer with poor prognosis. Hence, it is important to study the risk factors associated with it. Smoking has been implicated in many cancers, including breast cancer. However, there is no evidence in literature that has shown a relationship between smoking and a specific type of breast cancer. The goal of this study is to analyze the relationship between smoking and TNBC so that we may …

INTRODUCTION
Pectus Excavatum is the most common chest wall deformity and is frequently corrected with the Nuss procedure. Although this procedure has existed for several decades, new strategies are being adapted to reduce complications and improve efficiency. The aim of this study is to perform a qualitative review of the patient experience after minimally invasive repair of Pectus Excavatum.
