Article Synopsis
- The study reviews eight years' worth of data on surgical management of ovarian masses in girls under 18, comparing laparoscopic and open surgery methods.
- It includes 88 patients, with 56 undergoing laparoscopic surgery, revealing that laparoscopic procedures have benefits like smaller tumor sizes, shorter operation times, and fewer hospital days, with minimal complications.
- The conclusion suggests that laparoscopy is ideal for benign tumors and certain cases of torsion, but open surgery may be necessary for high-risk malignancy situations if complications arise.
Background And Objectives: Data on urinary tract infections (UTIs) in very preterm neonates (VPTNs) are scarce. We aimed to (i) describe the characteristics of UTIs in VPTNs and (ii) compare the diagnostic practices of neonatal clinicians to established pediatric guidelines.
Methods: All VPTNs (<29 weeks GA) with a suspected UTI at the CHU Sainte-Justine neonatal intensive care unit from January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2019, were included and divided into two definition categories: Possible UTI, and Definite UTI.
Medical management of gastro-esophageal reflux in healthy infants.

December 2022
Clinical symptoms attributed to gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) in healthy term infants are non-specific and overlap with age-appropriate behaviours. This practice point reviews the evidence for medically recommended management of this common condition. Current recommendations to manage GERD include feeding modifications such as thickening feeds or avoiding cow's milk protein.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we included children who presented to the emergency department (ED) with moderate cellulitis and treated according to the institution's HD oral cephalexin guideline over a 2-year period. All children had standardized follow-up at a medical day hospital (MDH).
Objective: To define for women at low obstetric risk methods of management that respect the rhythm and the spontaneous course of giving birth as well as each woman's preferences.
Methods: These clinical practice guidelines were developed through professional consensus based on an analysis of the literature and of the French and international guidelines available on this topic.
Results: Labor should be monitored with a partograph (professional consensus).
