Article Synopsis
- In France, national guidelines emphasize the importance of early detection and management of childhood overweight and obesity, focusing on the understanding of BMI curves by parents.
- The study aimed to assess whether parents better understood BMI curves when presented using color coding versus a non-color coded format.
- Results showed that parents who viewed color-coded BMI curves had a significantly higher rate of fully correct responses (86.0%) compared to those who viewed non-color coded curves (54.2%), indicating that color coding substantially enhances understanding.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prognostic value of chest CT characteristics in COVID-19 patients, aiming to better understand factors influencing mortality.
- A retrospective analysis of 515 patients was conducted, revealing that advanced age and significant pulmonary involvement on CT scans were linked to higher in-hospital mortality rates within 30 days.
- Key findings highlight that CT indicators like over 50% lung involvement, pleural effusions, and nodular consolidations are critical for assessing severe cases of COVID-19 and guiding treatment decisions.
Injuries of the cervical spine are uncommon in children. The distribution of injuries, when they do occur, differs according to age. Young children aged less than 8 years usually have upper cervical injuries because of the anatomic and biomechanical properties of their immature spine, whereas older children, whose biomechanics more closely resemble those of adults, are prone to lower cervical injuries.
