Purpose: There is currently a lack of understanding of children's experience in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) environment. Additionally, pediatric patients may experience post-PICU syndrome following discharge. Thus, we aimed to adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of a tool specifically for use with children in the PICU.

Objectives: To study the value of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in detecting intracranial Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in children with hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) with central nervous system involvement.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed for the cerebrospinal fluid mNGS results of 30 HPS children with central nervous system involvement, which were compared with the results of cerebrospinal fluid EBV-DNA detection and serum EBV antibody profile. The change in serum EBV-DNA copy number after treatment was used to evaluate the efficacy of targeted therapy.
Article Synopsis
- Stress fractures of the femoral neck are rare, especially when they occur simultaneously with proximal femur fractures in the same leg; the case discussed involves a 62-year-old woman with such dual fractures.
- The patient presented with hip and thigh pain, and imaging revealed tension fractures; she had a prior history of surgery for a different femur fracture.
- Total hip arthroplasty was performed due to the patient's age and the complexity of the fractures, with follow-up showing healing of the proximal femur fracture in three months.
