Late presentation of midgut malrotation with obstruction in a 5-year-old female: A case report.

Midgut malrotations are rarely diagnosed beyond infancy. Delays in recognition and diagnosis can result in death. Here, we report the case of a 5-year-old girl who presented with a 1-year history of intermittent abdominal pain and vomiting.

Unique pediatric penetrating cardiac trauma caused by a palm tree frond: Case report.

Mortality rates are significantly affected by severe cardiac trauma in both adult and pediatric patients. Although rare in children, cardiac injuries of significant magnitude can lead to fatal outcomes. We report the rare case of a 5-year-old girl who sustained a penetrating cardiac injury from a sharp palm tree frond in a home accident.

A rare complication of acute lower limb ischemia post coronavirus disease 2019 infection in a healthy pediatric patient: case report.

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a novel respiratory disease that first emerged in 2019. Patients infected with this disease present with a myriad of symptoms. Limb ischemia and hypercoagulability are complications identified in adults.

Post-traumatic cysts detected by ultrasound in infant presented with first-time seizures: Case report.

In children at risk of neurological damage, such as those delivered prematurely or with history of birth asphyxia, cranial ultrasonography is frequently employed. Cranial ultrasonography also detects cysts, asymmetrical ventricles, periventricular white matter echogenicity, and hemorrhage, among other features. We report the case of an 8-month-old boy who was brought to the emergency department with a history of head trauma followed by seizures.

Clinical Characteristics, Laboratory Findings, Management, and Outcome of Severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 in Children at a Tertiary Care Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: A Retrospective Study.

Background: Numerous studies worldwide have reported COVID-19 in children; however, the clinical symptoms and consequences of COVID-19 in children have only been reported in a few studies in Saudi and gulf region. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the clinical features and outcomes of COVID-19 infection in children and the therapeutic interventions used.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 96 patients with confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection aged ≤14 years who were admitted to a tertiary governmental care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between March 2020 and November 2020.

Designing and evaluating an automated intravenous dosage medication calculation tool for reducing the time of stat medication administration in a pediatric emergency department.

Background: Urgent medications are regularly prescribed using the term "stat", which indicates that the medication should be administered within 30 min after it is ordered. However, many hospitals struggle to reliably administer stat medications within 30 min after they are ordered. This study involved developing and evaluating an automated intravenous dosage medication calculation tool (AIVDMCT) for reducing the time between the order and administration of stat medications to children at a pediatric emergency department (PED) in Saudi Arabia.
