Two hundred ninety cases of alleged child sexual abuse (CSA) were reported in Edinburgh and the Lothian region over the 7-year period from 1982 through 1988. We have found an increase in the incidence of alleged CSA, which has resulted in greater involvement of the paediatric surgeon. CSA was found to be occurring with increasing frequency in younger children. The physical examination and the role of general anaesthesia are discussed together with the data about the collection of forensic material.

Introduction: The advancements in neonatal resuscitation and surgical care have enabled children with congenital abnormalities to receive corrective surgeries and achieve lifespans well into adulthood. These patients may require long-term follow-up as they continue to have risks of developing sequelae from their original diseases or surgical interventions.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the current practice and barriers to the transition of care (TOC) from the perspectives of adult surgeons.

Background: Irritability affects up to 20% of youth and is a primary reason for referral to pediatric mental health clinics. Irritability is thought to be associated with disruptions in processing of reward, threat, and cognitive control; however, empirical study of these associations at both the behavioral and neural level have yielded equivocal findings that may be driven by small sample sizes and differences in study design. Associations between irritability and brain connectivity between cognitive control and reward- or threat-processing circuits remain understudied.
