Article Synopsis
- * There is a growing interest in using the intranasal route for delivering pain relief medications to infants, offering faster drug absorption and avoiding gastrointestinal complications, making it particularly useful when intravenous access isn't an option.
- * The article discusses various intranasal medications being studied for neonatal pain management, such as fentanyl, midazolam, and dexmedetomidine, providing insights into dosage and specific indications for their use in different neonatal scenarios.
Unlabelled: Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) are considered the same disease, but a common approach for diagnosis and management is still missing.
Methods: In May 2022, EULAR and PReS endorsed a proposal for a joint task force (TF) to develop recommendations for the diagnosis and management of sJIA and AOSD. The TF agreed during a first meeting to address four topics: similarity between sJIA and AOSD, diagnostic biomarkers, therapeutic targets and strategies and complications including macrophage activation syndrome (MAS).
Objectives: To analyse the efficacy and safety of treatments for Still's disease and macrophage activation syndrome (MAS).
Methods: Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library were searched for clinical trials (randomised, randomised controlled trial (RCT), controlled and clinical controlled trial (CCT)), observational studies (retrospective, longitudinal observational retrospective (LOR), prospective and longitudinal observational prospective (LOP)) and systematic reviews (SRs), in which the populations studied were patients with Still's disease and MAS. The intervention was any pharmacological treatment (approved or under evaluation) versus any comparator drug or placebo, and as outcomes, any relevant efficacy and safety event.
Objectives: To analyse the similarity in clinical manifestations and laboratory findings between systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD).
Methods: Three systematic reviews (SR) were performed. One included cohort studies comparing sJIA versus AOSD that described clinical and biological manifestations with at least 20 patients in each group (SR1).
Neck infections are often prone to being underestimated and can manifest insidiously. The spread of infection can lead to translocation into thoracic areas, causing descending necrotizing mediastinitis (DNM). However, the application of the post-mortem approach in such cases is not well-described in the literature.
