Background: Tracheal compression (TC) due to vascular anomalies is an uncommon, but potentially serious cause of chronic respiratory disease in childhood. Vascular slings are congenital malformations resulting from abnormal development of the great vessels; in this group of disorders the most prevalent entity is the aberrant innominate artery (AIA). Here we provide a report on diagnosis and treatment of AIA in nine children with unexplained chronic respiratory symptoms.

- The study investigates how the SARS-COV-2 pandemic affected the epidemiology and clinical management of bronchiolitis, particularly focusing on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) over the last five years.
- It included data from 647 children aged 0-2 years, finding an increase in RSV infections during the pandemic years, with 74.5% testing positive compared to 51.5% in prepandemic years.
- The findings suggest a growing need for respiratory support in treating bronchiolitis, emphasizing the importance of ongoing surveillance of RSV to improve healthcare preparedness and strategies.
Due to the worry growing increase in bacterial antibiotic resistance and the scanty availability of new antibiotics, it is highly recommended to use not recently synthesized, but still active molecules. Clofoctol is a synthetic chemotherapeutic agent with a different mechanism of action, as compared with the other antibacterial molecules currently available. By reducing intracellular ATP, clofoctol inhibits the synthesis of bacterial cytoplasmic membrane peptidoglycans, inducing the arrest of cell wall synthesis, thus characterizing the molecule as a "membrane-acting agent".
