Emerging findings for the assessment and treatment of pediatric deep neck abscesses.

Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to summarize new literature regarding the description, diagnosis, and treatment of pediatric deep neck abscesses.

Recent Findings: Providers should include multi-inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) in a differential diagnosis in children suspected of having a retropharyngeal abscess. MRI may guide the proper management of children with deep neck abscesses by more accurately detecting free fluid compared to computed tomography imaging.

Tonsillectomy in Children with 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome.

Tonsillectomy is one of the most common procedures performed in children, however there are currently no published studies evaluating tonsillectomy in children with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS). With this study, our goal was to investigate the indications, efficacy, and complications of tonsillectomy in a pediatric cohort of patients with 22q11DS.

Internal carotid artery position to characterize risk for vessel injury in pediatric intraoral trauma.

Objective: The internal carotid artery (ICA) lies in close anatomic proximity to the oropharynx and is at risk for injury in the instance of intraoral trauma. The objectives of this study are to describe the position of the ICA relative to the oropharynx and identify patient risk factors related to its position.

Methods: A total of 100 patients aged 12 months to 7 years 11 months who received computed tomography (CT) of the neck were randomly selected.

Airway anomalies in patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome: A scoping review.

Objective: People with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) can present with a wide variety of findings. Various airway anomalies have been described intermittently within this syndrome, but this feature has not been extensively investigated.

A Bibliometric Analysis of the Top 100 Most Influential Articles on Carotid Cavernous Fistulas.

Objective: A carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) is an abnormal communication between arteries and veins within the cavernous sinus and may be classified as either direct or indirect. This bibliometric analysis summarizes the most-cited articles on CCFs and highlights the contributing articles to today's evidence-based practice.

Methods: In the execution of this bibliometric-based review article, the Scopus database was used to perform a title-specific, keyword-based search for all publications until June 2022.

Viloxazine, a Non-stimulant Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor, for the Treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A 3 Year Update.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood. Current treatment options for ADHD include pharmacological treatment (stimulants, non-stimulants, anti-depressants, anti-psychotics), psychological treatment (behavioral therapy with or without parent training, cognitive training, neurofeedback), and complementary and alternative therapies (vitamin supplementation, exercise). Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants are the primary pharmacological therapy used in treatment; however, these stimulant drugs carry a high potential for abuse and severe psychological/physical dependence.
