Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore long-term health outcomes in children and young people post-COVID-19, particularly focusing on post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) and incomplete recovery, comparing these outcomes with those from other non-SARS-CoV-2 infections.
- - Conducted in Moscow, researchers followed two cohorts of pediatric patients with confirmed COVID-19 from two different time periods (Wuhan and Omicron variants) and compared them to a reference group of those with other infections but negative for SARS-CoV-2.
- - Findings revealed that the incidence of PCC was significantly higher in the Wuhan variant group compared to the reference group, while the Omicron variant showed no significant difference in PCC outcomes when compared to the
Background: Even though the incidence of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in children (MIS-C) is decreasing cases are still reported across the world. Studying the consequences of MIS-C enhances our understanding of the disease's prognosis. The objective of this study was to assess short- and medium-term clinical outcomes of MIS-C.

- - The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) is revising their guidelines for diagnosing IgE-mediated food allergies, aiming to consolidate findings from 149 studies involving 24,489 patients published between 2012 and 2021.
- - Systematic reviews and meta-analyses revealed that skin prick tests (SPT) for fresh cow's milk and raw egg showed high sensitivity (90% and 94%), while specific IgE tests for individual food components demonstrated high specificity for various allergens like peanuts and eggs.
- - The basophil activation test (BAT) was found to be highly specific for diagnosing peanut (90%) and sesame (93%) allergies, indicating that while SPT and specific Ig
Background: Children in acute pain often receive inadequate pain relief, partly from difficulties administering injectable analgesics. A rapid-acting, intranasal (IN) analgesic may be an alternative to other parenteral routes of administration. Our review compares the efficacy, safety, and acceptability of intranasal analgesia to intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) administration; and to compare different intranasal agents.
