Active parents, active youth? Exploring the association between physical activity of youth with Cystic Fibrosis and their parents.

Background: Parents play a major role in shaping their children's physical activity (PA) behaviour. This study aimed to investigate the association between PA of youth with Cystic Fibrosis (YwCF) and their parents.

Methods: PA was measured by an ActiGraph GT3x-BT for seven consecutive days.

Lower physical activity levels in youth with Cystic Fibrosis compared to healthy controls: A multicentre comparative study.

Background: Regular physical activity (PA) offers significant health benefits on both short (i.e., emotional well-being) and long term (i.

The HyperPed-COVID international registry: Impact of age of onset, disease presentation and geographical distribution on the final outcome of MIS-C.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to establish an international multicenter registry to collect data on patients with Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), in order to highlight a relationship between clinical presentation, age of onset and geographical distribution on the clinical outcome.

Study Design: Multicenter retrospective study involving different international societies for rare immunological disorders.1009 patients diagnosed with MIS-C between March and September 2022, from 48 centers and 22 countries were collected.

The efficacy of the use of atropine in children with reflex anoxic syncope during pallid breath-holding spells: can cardiac pacemaker implantation be avoided?

Objectives: Reflex anoxic syncope is the result of an overreaction of the vagal system, resulting in hypotension and bradycardia or brief cardiac arrest. Because of the benign character and the absence of complications in short or long term, treatment is only necessary in case of frequent or severe clinical presentation. Treatment options are anticholinergic drugs or cardiac pacemaker placement.

Multimodality 3D image fusion with live fluoroscopy reduces radiation dose during catheterization of congenital heart defects.

Introduction: Imaging fusion technology is promising as it is radiation and contrast sparing. Herein, we compare conventional biplane angiography to multimodality image fusion with live fluoroscopy using two-dimensional (2D)-three-dimensional (3D) registration (MMIF) and assess MMIF impact on radiation exposure and contrast volume during cardiac catheterization of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD).

Methods: We matched institutional MMIF procedures and controls according to patient characteristics (body mass index, age, and gender) and the seven procedure-type subgroups.
