- Purpura fulminans (PF) is a serious condition that leads to blood clotting issues, causing serious skin and tissue damage.

Background: This study evaluated of clinical characteristics, outcomes, and mortality risk factors of a severe multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children admitted to a the pediatric intensive care unit.
Methods: A retrospective multicenter cohort study was conducted between March 2020 and April 2021 at 41 PICUs in Turkey. The study population comprised 322 children diagnosed with multisystem inflammatory syndrome.
Background: The diagnosis of brain death is primarily clinical. Sometimes ancillary tests are needed.
Objective: This study compared sensitivity and interobserver agreement of the 10-, 7- and 4-point CT angiography scoring systems for the diagnosis of brain death in children.
Objective: To investigate right and left cerebral tissue (ctSO) and renal tissue oxygenations (rtSO) in otherwise healthy children.
Methods: In this observational cross-sectional study, one hundred children seen as outpatients for well child care or common non-critical complaints, were included. Bilateral ctSO and rtSO were recorded simultaneously with INVOS™ 5100 device.
