Article Synopsis
- Acute myocarditis cases in kids are increasing in Italy, with 65 suspected cases reported in 2024, largely linked to parvovirus B19 infection.
- Among these cases, 29 children needed intensive care and there were eight fatalities, emphasizing the severity of the situation.
- The study suggests a need for better diagnosis, enhanced monitoring, and standardized treatment strategies, as only about one-third of affected children received effective intravenous immunoglobulins.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied how heart rate changes (called EHRV) can help predict dehydration and kidney problems in kids at the hospital.
- They tested 256 children from July 2022 to August 2023 and found that a higher EHRV could mean a greater risk of dehydration or kidney issues.
- The study concluded that if a child's EHRV is over 24.5%, doctors might need to check for these health problems, but more studies are needed to be sure.
Since the second half of the XX century, primer mixtures based on mercury fulminate have become a rare occurrence on small ammunition markets in Western Europe and North America. As a consequence, Hg-containing gunshot residue (GSR) particles have not been as deeply investigated as residues from lead-based primer mixtures. As a matter of fact, no mention of GSR particles from mercuric primers is made by the current ASTM standard procedure for gunshot residue analysis.

- The study aimed to explore the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on heart injury markers in infants with COVID-19, involving 152 hospitalized infants, 79 with other infections, and 71 healthy controls from March 2020 to March 2022.* -
- Results showed that infants with COVID-19 had significantly higher levels of cardiac troponin (hs-cTn), indicating myocardial injury, particularly in those under three months old, compared to both control groups.* -
- Despite the initial elevation of hs-cTn indicating some heart stress, levels returned to normal over time without any severe symptoms or long-term heart damage observed during up to one year of follow-up, though future monitoring is advised due to
Objective: This study aimed to determine psychosocial differences between children with Long-COVID Syndrome (LCS) and two control groups (i.e., children who did not have COVID-19 and children who had previously had COVID-19 but did not develop LCS) from a bio-psycho-social and psychosomatic perspective.
