Article Synopsis
  • Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a significant cause of illness and death among children under 5, prompting a study on the effectiveness of nirsevimab, a long-acting monoclonal antibody, for preventing respiratory issues over time.
  • A cohort study involving infants in the Madrid region revealed that nirsevimab significantly reduced the risk of hospitalization due to RSV, showing effectiveness rates of 93.6% at 30 days and 87.6% at 150 days.
  • The findings indicate that while nirsevimab is highly effective in preventing severe RSV cases, its protective effects diminish over time, though it remains effective at preventing hospital admissions even after several months.

Article Synopsis
  • Pediatric spondylodiscitis (PSD) is a rare sickness in kids, and this study wanted to learn more about it since there are no specific guidelines for treating it.
  • Researchers looked at two groups of patients from different times to see how well doctors followed the new treatment guidelines and to find out if any factors led to complications.
  • They found that most kids improved without many problems, and doctors did a better job following the guidelines over time, especially in giving shorter antibiotic treatments.

Objective: To demonstrate that heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) is superior to inhaled hypertonic saline solution (HSS) in improving respiratory distress in moderate bronchiolitis. In addition, it could improve comfort and reduce length of hospital stay (LOS) and admission to Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).

Design: Randomised Clinical Trial from 1 October 2010 to 31 December 2012.

We describe a case of SAPHO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis) with an unusual presentation in a 14 year-old girl with low grade fever which lasts 8 months, left low back pain and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rates and protein C-reactive with chronic anaemia. A radiograhy of the lower limbs showed a lytic image with osteitis and hyperostose in the right fibula, as a casual finding. This information, in addition to the acne, pustulosis, sternoclavicular arthritis and the studies got from the magnetic resonance image (MR) of spine, pointed out the diagnosis of SAPHO.
