Case report: Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS)-induced hemophagocytic disorder.

Hemophagocytic disorders are severe and life-threatening conditions that can be genetic in origin [i.e., primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)] or result from infections (i.

Barriers, goals, and enablers of transition of care in pediatric dermatology.

Adolescent patients with complex skin disorders may require ongoing care for their conditions as they "age out" of the pediatric setting into adult care. Yet despite consensus from the Canadian Paediatric Society and American Academy of Pediatrics on the importance of dedicated transition programs for these patients, there is a scarcity of such programs worldwide, and no formal programs in Canada. This paper explores several barriers, goals, and potential enablers of transition programs in this discipline and proposes principles of transition versus transfer in the context of pediatric dermatology.

Temporal trends in severe obesity prevalence in children and youth from primary care electronic medical records in Ontario: a repeated cross-sectional study.

Background: There are no current estimates of severe obesity in Canadian children. The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of severe obesity in children aged 18 years or less in Ontario and to determine temporal trends from 2004 to 2015.

Methods: This was a repeated cross-sectional study using height/length and weight of children aged 18 years or less from the Electronic Medical Record Administrative data Linked Database (EMRALD), a database of primary care electronic medical records in Ontario.

Association Between Maternal Pre-Pregnancy Body Mass Index, Gestational Weight Gain, and Offspring Atopic Dermatitis: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: Maternal weight status may contribute to the development of atopic disorders in children.

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess associations of maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) with risk of atopic dermatitis (AD) in children.

Methods: Maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and GWG were assessed by questionnaire through the Growing Up Today Study (GUTS), a prospective cohort study of US children.

Mental health of extremely low birth weight survivors: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Although individuals born at extremely low birth weight (ELBW; < 1,000 g) are the most vulnerable of all preterm survivors, their risk for mental health problems across the life span has not been systematically reviewed. The primary objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to ascertain whether the risk for mental health problems is greater for ELBW survivors than their normal birth weight (NBW) peers in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Forty-one studies assessing 2,712 ELBW children, adolescents, and adults and 11,127 NBW controls were reviewed.
