US-guided (Ultrasound-guided) percutaneous transthoracic core needle biopsy (CNB) is a favorable method for establishing the correct diagnosis of mediastinal masses. However, studies in this area are scant and often include small samples, thus making it difficult to provide robust evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of this procedure. Thus, we aimed to report on the 20 years of experience at our center with regard to US-guided CNB.

- The study investigates foreign body ingestion (FBI) in children under 18 in Italy, highlighting the prevalence and trends from 2015 to 2020.
- A total of 5,771 cases were analyzed, with the majority occurring at home, mostly involving children under 6, and commonly featuring blunt objects.
- The results indicate stable rates of FBI over time, urging the importance of preventive strategies to protect young children, especially those 5 and under, from such incidents.
Article Synopsis
- Pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) are complications of pancreatitis, and managing them in children using endoscopic techniques like EUS-guided cystogastrostomy and lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) has been minimally documented.
- A study conducted between April 2020 and November 2022 involved three children, demonstrating that these procedures are technically feasible and successful with no complications observed.
- The findings suggest that EUS-guided cystogastrostomy can be a safe and effective option for treating PFCs in pediatric patients when performed by experienced specialists in a dedicated center.

Background And Aims: Upper endoscopy (UE) procedures (EGD and ERCP) are an established standard of care in pediatric gastroenterology. The Pediatric Endoscopy Quality Improvement Network (PEnQuIN) recently published its pediatric-specific endoscopy quality guidelines. This study, initiated by the Italian Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, aims to evaluate the adherence of Italian pediatric endoscopy centers (PECs) to these established quality standards.

This study aims to develop a nomogram that identifies children who require urgent surgical or endoscopic intervention by using the patient's medical history and clinical parameters collected at admission.
Methods: This study is a retrospective review (01/2015-12/2020) of a multicenter case series of children admitted for FBI.
