Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on developing reference values for the six-minute walk test in healthy children aged 6-12, assessing their exercise tolerance during the test.
- - A total of 236 healthy kids participated, and significant pre- and post-test variables were measured, including heart rate, oxygen saturation, and levels of dyspnea and fatigue.
- - Key findings indicated that age, height, regular physical activity, and obesity affected the test results, highlighting the importance of these reference values for clinical applications.
In clinical practice, it is not rare to encounter situations in which parents and families are asked to leave the child alone with the health care team in rooms full of devices throughout the performance of procedures, which at times may give rise not only to conflicts but, more importantly, emotional sequelae in children or adolescents. We conducted a narrative review of the literature by searching the digital library of the public health care system of Andalusia for articles concerning the experiences of health care professionals and families with the accompaniment of paediatric patients during health care procedures. We restricted the search to studies published in Spanish or English and conducted in humans.

Material And Methods: The patients registered in the database of the Neuropediatrics Section from May 1990 to August 2019 are analyzed retrospectively.
Introduction And Objective: Neonatal hypoglycemia offers multiple controversies. The study aims to assess the main factors involved in the development of early hypoglycemia in term and late preterm infants, and the implication of different environmental circumstances.
Methods: A prospective cohort study in infants born between 34 0/7 weeks and 36 6/7 weeks of gestation.

Introduction and objective: neonatal hypoglycemia persistently offers multiple diagnostic controversies. This study aims to present the current situation regarding neonatal hypoglycaemia detection, and to gain insiht into the most widely used portable glucometers in neonatal units today. Methods: an online questionnaire was prepared and sent to the members of the Spanish Society of Neonatology; a total of 75 hospitals participated.

There have been attempts to establish risk factors to predict the progression of the disease in order to optimise its management, which has changed in recent years due to, among other reasons, specialised care.
Material And Methods: A retrospective, observational and analytical study was conducted on patients diagnosed with ITP over a 3-year period in a Paediatric Haematology specialist clinic.
Background And Objectives: Methaemoglobinaemia is a typical acute intoxication disorder in children under one year old. It is produced by excess nitrates which induce the haemoglobin's iron oxidation, preventing its adequate binding to oxygen. It is more frequent in infants due to its lower enzymatic activity.

- Enterovirus D68 has been linked to respiratory infections and, more recently, to serious conditions like myelitis and paralysis.
- This report focuses on the first instances of Enterovirus D68 found in patients with acute flaccid paralysis in Spain.
- The detected cases occurred between December 2015 and March 2016, highlighting a growing concern about this virus's impact.
Introduction: We present our experience on idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), before and after the introduction of a specific diagnosis and management protocol.
Method: A descriptive retrospective study was conducted on patients with IIH over a 25year period (1990-2015), comparing the last 7years (after introduction of the protocol) with the previous 18years.
Results: Among the 18,865 patients evaluated, there were 54 cases of IIH (29 infants and 25 children).
Patients And Methods: This study reviews our experience over the last 18 years with paediatric patients diagnosed with non-haemorrhagic cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) after the perinatal period. Data were collected for the period between May 1990 and May 2008 (n = 10 270 children) and special attention was given to cases with no previous pathology.
Results: We found 41 cases that were diagnosed with post-natal non-haemorrhagic CVA, of which 13 did not present any known pathology at the onset of the symptoms.
