(1) Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world among children. The main purpose of this study was to analyze the consumption of asthma medications in order to investigate asthma in children (2-18 years) and the association with health care consumption; (2) a retrospective study using anonymized administrative data for 2013-2018 from the third largest Belgian health insurer was conducted; (3) in 2018, 12.9% of children received at least one asthma medication and 4.

- The study looked at how often kids get ongoing hydrocephalus, a brain condition, after surgery for certain types of brain tumors.
- They discovered that doing surgery early helps most kids with hydrocephalus, but some still need further treatment.
- The researchers say that a special procedure called endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is helpful for those who continue to have problems after the first surgery.
Object: The object was to study the value of postoperative positron emission tomography (PET) to assess the extension of brain tumor resection.
Methods: Twenty children operated on for total resection of a glial tumor (18 low-grade, 2 anaplastic) presented a signal on postoperative magnetic resonance (MR) images raising the question of a possible tumor residue. PET was performed early ((18)F-Fluoro-deoxyglucose in 1, (11)C-methionine in 16, both in 3) to further characterize the nature of the abnormal MR signal in order to consider second-look surgery.
