Efficacy and safety of ibuprofen and naproxen in the treatment of oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis: bi-national cohort study.

Objectives: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease in children. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and intra-articular corticosteroid injections are first-line therapy for oligoarticular JIA. NSAIDs Adverse events (AEs) include gastrointestinal ulcers/bleeding and impaired renal function.

Antibiotic over-administration in hospitalized infants with Adenovirus infection.

Background: Infection with Adenovirus in children may clinically resemble a bacterial infection in several aspects, including high and prolonged fever, and increased inflammation markers. We aimed to estimate the rate of antibiotics administration among hospitalized infants with Adenovirus infection and to evaluate its justification.

Methods: Included were hospitalized patients aged 2 months - 2 years who found positive for Adenovirus in PCR tests (Ct <36).

MicroRNAs as Biomarkers for Uveitis in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.

Purpose: Uveitis associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA-U) is a clinically silent vision-impairing disease. Early detection and aggressive treatment are crucial for optimal visual outcome. Alterations in levels of microRNAs (miRNAs) are characteristic of autoimmune diseases.

Longitudinal safety and efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in children aged 4-11 years with juvenile-onset autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases: A prospective multicenter study.

This prospective, longitudinal, multicenter study assessed the safety and efficacy of the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine among children 4-11 years-old with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatologic disease (AIIRD), compared to healthy controls. The study was conducted from 11/2021-12/2022 at 4 tertiary pediatric rheumatology units in Israel. Participants received at least 2 vaccine doses.

Pediatric chest radiograph interpretation in a real-life setting.

Unlabelled: Chest radiography is a frequently used imaging modality in children. However, only fair to moderate inter-observer agreement has been reported between chest radiograph interpreters. Most studies were not performed in real-world clinical settings.
