Inadvertent adjustments and malfunctions of programmable valves have been reported in cases in which patients have encountered powerful electromagnetic fields such as those involved in magnetic resonance imaging, but the effects of small magnetic fields are not well known. The authors present a case in which a child playing with a collection of commercially available toy magnets altered the pressure setting of an implanted valve and may have caused its permanent malfunction.

Interest in kawaii-ness is growing day by day around the world. However, the relationship between the brain and kawaii-ness remains unclear. Previous studies have revealed how adults' brains respond to infants, but there is little research into the relationship between non-infant objects that have kawaii-ness and the brain, particularly its structure.

Background: Anxiety-provoking healthcare procedures require specific child-friendly approaches. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can cause anxiety for children and general anesthesia (GA) is often used. We developed and tested a multi-faceted child-friendly concept, Children Centered Care, for MRI of children without GA.

Developing multifunctional nanoplatforms to comprehensively modulate the tumor microenvironment and enhance diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes still remains a great challenge. Here, we report the facile construction of a multivariate nanoplatform based on cancer cell membrane (CM)-encapsulated redox-responsive poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PVCL) nanogels (NGs) co-loaded with Cu(II) and chemotherapeutic drug toyocamycin (Toy) for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-guided combination tumor chemodynamic therapy/chemoimmunotherapy. We show that redox-responsive PVCL NGs formed through precipitation polymerization can be aminated, conjugated with 3,4-dihydroxyhydrocinnamic acid for Cu(II) complexation, physically loaded with Toy, and finally camouflaged with CMs.

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed pediatric esophageal foreign body (EFB) ingestion trends in the U.S. from 2003 to 2022, using data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS).
- Over two decades, the total number of identified cases was 52,315, with a notable increase in the overall incidence of EFB ingestion from 7.3 to 14.2 per 10,000 children, especially in magnets, batteries, and toys.
- Coin ingestion has decreased as a proportion of EFB cases, possibly due to changing consumer trends and increased access to electronic devices and digital currencies.
