Objectives: Patients with inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) may require emergency hospital care to prevent life-threatening situations such as metabolic decompensation. To date, over one thousand different rare IMDs have been identified, which means that healthcare professionals (HCPs) initiating emergency treatment may not be familiar with these conditions. The objective of this initiative was to provide HCPs with practical guidance for the acute management of children and adults with IMDs who need emergency care, regardless of the underlying reason.

- RSV is a major cause of bronchiolitis, leading to 3 million hospitalizations each year, and nirsevimab is a monoclonal antibody aimed at preventing severe RSV cases in infants.
- A study compared infants hospitalized for RSV bronchiolitis with those visiting for unrelated reasons, assessing nirsevimab’s effectiveness in preventing hospitalizations in those under 12 months old.
- Findings showed nirsevimab reduced hospitalization rates for RSV-associated bronchiolitis by 83% and critical care needs by about 70%, indicating it is an effective treatment option for vulnerable infants.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at kids who had a kidney abscess to see how often they had a problem called vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).
- They found that about 41% of the kids had VUR, which is similar to kids who have kidney infections.
- The study suggests that doctors should think about using a special test called VCUG when kids have kidney abscesses or infections multiple times, especially if there are signs of kidney damage.
Background: Worldwide, Escherichia coli is the leading cause of neonatal Gram-negative bacterial meningitis, but full understanding of the pathogenesis of this disease is not yet achieved. Moreover, to date, no vaccine is available against bacterial neonatal meningitis.
Methods: Here, we used Transposon Sequencing of saturated banks of mutants (TnSeq) to evaluate E.
Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) were implemented to reduce the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). A first national lockdown was decided in France on the 17 March 2020. These measures had an impact on other viral and non-viral infectious diseases.

Design: We used semistructured interviews. Our qualitative and phenomenological procedure applied interpretative phenomenological analysis.
Background. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in invasive fungal diseases (IFD). Serum (1-3)-β-d-glucan (BG) is believed to be an early IFD marker, but its diagnostic performance has been ambiguous, with insufficient data regarding sensitivity at the time of IFD diagnosis (TOD) and according to outcome.
