Management of food allergy in the school setting.

Food allergy is a growing health and safety concern that affects up to 8% of school-age children. Because children spend a significant part of their day in school, and the overall number of school-age children with food allergy has been increasing, management of food allergies relies on the collaboration of allergists, families, and schools to treat and prevent acute allergic reactions. For schools, this involves policies centered on food allergen avoidance, preparedness with epinephrine autoinjectors, adequate school personnel training, and accommodations for an equal opportunity learning environment.

Early resection of a rare congenital pulmonary airway malformation causing severe progressive respiratory distress in a preterm neonate: a case report and review of the literature.

Background: Congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAMs) are a heterogenous collection of congenital lung malformations, often diagnosed prenatally. The Stocker Type III CPAM is a rare CPAM sub-type, and, when large, may be associated with hydrops. Furthermore, reports of CPAM management which may include surgical resection in extreme preterm infants are limited.
