Novel growth reference ImaGrow differed from existing charts for preterm children aged 0-2 years.

Aim: This study aimed to address the critical need for more accurate growth reference charts for preterm infants, with a particular focus on low- and very low-birth-weight infants.

Methods: The subjects were recruited at a single tertiary centre. The cohort comprised singleton and twin infants born before 37 weeks of gestation, with data collected from 2000 to 2016.

Symptomatic preterm infants suffer from lung function deficits, regardless of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

Kava (Piper methysticum) Extract for the Treatment of Nervous Anxiety, Tension and Restlessness.

Aim: Prior to the kava ban of 2002, the indication for kava () extracts defined by the German Commission E was "nervous anxiety, tension and restlessness".

The trial was interrupted and archived "unevaluated" in 2001 due to the upcoming safety debate on kava.

Tolerability and effectiveness of an antitrauma cream with comfrey herb extract in pediatric use with application on intact and on broken skin.

Objective: The safety of comfrey herbal cream application to broken skin is still a matter of regulatory debate. It was therefore examined in children with intact and with broken skin treated for blunt traumas and sports injuries, with the aim of collecting data for pharmacovigilance and clinical safety assessments.

Methods: A total of 712 children (386 children with intact skin and 326 children with abrasions and superficial wounds) were openly treated for up to 2 weeks with 1-5 applications daily of comfrey herb cream after presenting for blunt traumas and sports accidents.
