Prognostic Role of Lung-Ultrasound Score in Acute Bronchiolitis Patients Treated With High Flow Nasal Cannula: A Prospective Study.

Introduction: Lung ultrasound (LUS) has emerged as a reliable, noninvasive tool for bedside assessment of acute bronchiolitis (AB) in infants. Its role in guiding therapeutic decisions is increasingly recognized.

Aims: This study aimed to determine the predictive value of LUS in identifying infants with AB at risk of HFNC therapy failure.

Impact of routine bedside lung ultrasound implementation on chest x-ray requests for mechanically ventilated children: a before-after uncontrolled quality improvement project.

Lung imaging techniques are crucial for managing ventilated patients in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs). Bedside chest x-ray has limitations such as low sensitivity and radiation exposure risks. Recently, lung ultrasound has emerged as a promising technology offering advantages such as real-time monitoring and radiation-free imaging.

costal osteomyelitis with complicated by pleural effusion in a 7-month-old infant: A misleading clinical presentation.

Osteomyelitis is a rare infectious disease in children, predominantly affecting long bones; however, its clinical presentation can be ambiguous if the location is atypical. Costal osteomyelitis is very rare in children and can mimic other pathologies. We present a case of a seven-month-old infant diagnosed with costal osteomyelitis complicated by rupture of a subperiosteal abscess into the pleura.

Acute Flaccid Myelitis in a Pediatric Patient With Coronavirus Disease 2019.

The etiology of acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) has yet to be determined. Viral link has been suggested, but severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-associated AFM has not been reported in children. We describe a three-year-old boy, with AFM associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection.

Spontaneous Hemopericardium Complicated by Tamponade in a Child With Moderate Hemophilia A: Case-Based Review.

Hemophilia A is the most common severe innate bleeding disorder. It is an X-linked recessive inherited bleeding disorder characterized by a qualitative and/or quantitative deficiency of factor VIII. The clinical manifestation of this disease is hemorrhaging that can affect every organ, in particular joints (hemarthrosis) and muscles (hematoma).
