People with dementia have a high likelihood of being hospitalized at some point during the disease process. Recent research has found that more can be done to improve dementia care in hospitals. One of the strategies suggested to help achieve this objective is to provide dementia education programs to hospital staff.

- Older individuals are increasingly prominent in high-income countries, and addressing their oral health needs is crucial for future dental graduates.
- Community workshops were held where older adults identified their oral health concerns, allowing dental students to provide feedback and advice.
- Participants appreciated the initiative, leading to a better understanding of older people's needs among students and enhancing their preparedness for future dental practice.
Background: In children with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), measures more sensitive than spirometry are needed to characterize underlying pulmonary impairment. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a promising noninvasive method for monitoring the distribution of lung ventilation, and it does not require patient collaboration. We aimed to provide an assessment of the feasibility and clinical usefulness of EIT in characterizing lung impairment in children with PCD, compared to spirometry and multiple breath nitrogen washout (MBWN ) test.

This retrospective single-institutional study examines the potential role of routine surveillance imaging for detecting recurrent tumor, and its impact on post-relapse survival.
Methods: The analysis concerned 86 patients < 21 years old with relapsing NRSTS treated from 1985 to 2020.
The novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has milder presentation in children than in adults, mostly requiring only supportive therapy. The immunopathogenic course of COVID-19 can be divided in two distinct but overlapping phases: the first triggered by the virus itself and the second one by the host immune response (cytokine storm). Respiratory failure or systemic involvement as Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) requiring intensive care are described only in a small portion of infected children.
