Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a clinical syndrome characterised by raised intracranial pressure with no discernible aetiology. It is relatively rare in children and its demographic features may differ from those of adults. The relationship between IIH and venous sinus stenosis (VSS) is well known.

- A multicenter observational study in Spain examined the use of Remdesivir (RDV) for treating severe COVID-19 in children, involving eight pediatric patients, half with complex medical conditions.
- Most patients showed successful clinical outcomes without RDV-related side effects, but one child died due to late treatment.
- The findings emphasize the need for clinical trials to evaluate RDV's safety and effectiveness in children, as it has shown promise in adult treatments.
Severe combined immunodeficiency is an inherited disease with profoundly defective T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells. X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency is the most common form. In this report, we describe a 4-month-old male infant who was admitted to our hospital with progressive breathlessness and abdominal mass.

Material And Methods: An observational prospective study in a tertiary children's University Hospital PICU conducted in two phases: i: cohorts study, and ii: prevalence study. The study included 340 critically ill children with ages comprising 6 months to 16 years old.
Objectives: The main reasons of this review are: To determine some of the embryological and genetic mechanisms of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and associated congenital reflux nephropathy (NR); recognize different patterns of familiar clustering and identify appropriate cases where genetic counselling and investigations might be indicated; and finally, to establish the association of these phenomena (VUR and NR).
Methods: Bibliographic search of related articles until June 2007.
Results: There are two kinds of primary VUR: isolated VUR and syndromic VUR; the last one has an inherited Mendelian transmission and we know the mechanisms.
