Objective: This study aimed to identify parameters that allow the estimation of tumor-infiltrated lymph nodes (LN) after pretreatment for unilateral Wilms tumor (WT).
Summary Background Data: Complete tumor resection with removal of regional LN is always necessary. Positive LNs require local irradiation influencing benefits in case of NSS in long-term follow-up.
Background & Aims: Children with chronic intestinal failure (IF) require a long-term central venous catheter (CVC) for provision of parenteral nutrition. Vascular, mechanical and infectious complications such as central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) may lead to progressive loss of venous access sites. Handling and management of CVCs therefore play an important role.

- - The study examines the impact of COVID-19 on children with intestinal failure (IF), highlighting that out of 127 patients, 25 contracted the virus, with many experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms and a notable portion requiring hospitalization.
- - Vaccination appears to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal dysfunction, as only 25% of vaccinated children showed GI issues compared to 52% of unvaccinated ones.
- - Both IF patients and their caregivers reported a significant decline in quality of life due to pandemic restrictions, with caregivers of these patients experiencing a notably higher burden related to healthcare access and support.
Article Synopsis
- It's really important to tell different types of kidney tumors apart in kids because treatments start without needing a tissue sample.
- Researchers looked at details like age, tumor size, and whether tumors had spread in over 3000 kids with different kidney tumors to improve how doctors identify them.
- They found that different tumors appeared in kids at different ages and sizes, and two specific types (MRTK and RCC) were linked to a higher chance of spreading, showing that understanding these details can help doctors treat kids better!
Solid tumors of the cervicothoracic junction, the posterior mediastinum, or bilateral dorsal thoracic tumors represent a challenge in pediatric surgical oncology. The aim of this study was to evaluate trap-door thoracotomy and clamshell thoracotomy as surgical approaches. A single-center retrospective study of children with solid tumors in these specific localizations was performed.
