Objective: We aimed to estimate the incidence of avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) in children and adolescents (CA) presenting to secondary care in the UK and Republic of Ireland (ROI).
Design: This observational surveillance study used the British Paediatric Surveillance Unit and the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Surveillance System. Monthly electronic reports were submitted by consultant paediatricians and child and adolescent psychiatrists from 1 March 2021 to 31 March 2022, with outcomes assessed at a 1-year follow-up.

Article Synopsis
- Musculoskeletal pain affects 50% to 81% of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) and can hinder mobility, social life, and contribute to depression.
- Many people with SCI rely heavily on their upper body for daily tasks, leading to decreased independence, especially in cases of severe pain.
- Common musculoskeletal issues associated with SCI include muscle atrophy, decreased bone density, spasticity, and overuse injuries, but research on these conditions in the SCI population is limited.
Choledochal cysts (CCs), a congenital anomaly resulting in the abnormal dilation of the biliary ductal system, are most often identified in patients younger than 10 years of age. Regardless of clinical presentation, the cornerstone of therapy for CCs is complete surgical excision with reconstruction with either hepaticoduodenostomy or hepaticojejunostomy. Although both procedures are used by surgeons for the correction of CCs, evidence on clinical outcomes following both approaches is inconclusive as to which may offer superior reconstruction.
