Background: Social media has revolutionized the way healthcare professionals communicate with the public, particularly in Pediatrics. With over 5 billion users globally, platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok have become increasingly popular even among caregivers in recent years. These channels offer unique opportunities to improve public health education, allowing pediatricians to reach a wide audience with evidence-based content.

Study Design: We conducted an interrupted, time-series analysis, based on a multinational surveillance system. All patients <16 years of age coming to medical attention with various symptoms and signs of RTI at 25 pediatric emergency departments from 13 European countries between January 2018 and June 2022 were included.
Article Synopsis
- The combination of paracetamol and ibuprofen is effective for treating mild-to-moderate acute pain in children, particularly for conditions like headaches, earaches, and post-operative pain.
- A survey of pediatricians showed strong support for the fixed-dose combination, emphasizing its superiority over single-drug therapies and its tolerability among children.
- Future research is needed to explore its potential benefits for chronic and inflammatory pain conditions in pediatric patients.
Aim: The aim of this study is to describe circumstances, management and short-term outcomes of neonatal head trauma, and adherence to the Paediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) head trauma prediction rule for children under 2 years.
Methods: Multicentre retrospective cohort study of neonates (<29 days) with head trauma across 25 emergency departments (ED) from January 2017 to June 2021.
Results: A total of 492 neonates (median age 17 days, range 0-28 days) with non-trivial head trauma were enrolled.
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli-haemolytic uremic syndrome (STEC-HUS) can result in kidney and neurological complications. Early volume-expansion therapy has been shown to improve outcomes, but caution is required to avoid fluid overload. Lung ultrasound scanning (LUS) can be used to detect fluid overload and may be useful in monitoring hydration therapy.
