Methods: We searched the PubMed database for case reports on skull bone infarction in pediatric patients with sickle cell disease.
Rationale: Acute chest syndrome (ACS) often develops during hospitalizations for sickle cell disease (SCD) vaso-occlusive episodes and may be triggered by a combination of chest wall splinting, opioid use, hypoventilation, and atelectasis. In 2017, Boston Medical Center's general pediatric inpatient unit instituted the novel use of bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) as "supportive non-invasive ventilation for ACS prevention" (SNAP) to prevent ACS and respiratory decompensation.
Objective: The goals of this qualitative study were to identify perceived benefits, harms, facilitators, and barriers to use of SNAP.
Article Synopsis
- - Erythema elevatum diutinum (EED) is a rare skin condition characterized by painful, itchy nodular lesions, often associated with other diseases.
- - A case study highlights a 65-year-old woman who experienced such lesions on her elbows, hands, knees, and foot for a year, and a biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of EED.
- - Treatment with dapsone led to significant improvement in her symptoms, emphasizing the importance of recognizing this rare condition to prevent misdiagnosis and ensure timely treatment.
