Article Abstract
Objectives/hypothesis: There are several therapeutic approaches to treat juvenile recurrent parotitis. The aim of this study was to compare sialendoscopy, including prophylactic cortisone irrigation, with observation and a conservative approach of antibiotic therapy alone.
Study Design: Retrospective study, tertiary clinical center.
Methods: The charts of patients treated for juvenile recurrent parotitis between November 2004 and June 2011 were reviewed. Initial acute flares were always treated with a course of antibiotics. Subsequent treatment consisted of either salivary gland endoscopy including cortisone irrigation or additional pure antibiotic therapy. Patients treated with salivary endoscopy were compared to patients treated with antibiotics alone with regard to the number of inflammatory episodes and pain intensity pre- and posttreatment.
Results: Thirty-six patients were treated during the period of study, 15 with salivary endoscopy with cortisone irrigation and 21 with antibiotic therapy alone. A significant reduction in recurrent episodes and pain intensity following therapy was found in both groups. With respect to these two outcomes, the comparison showed two therapeutic options of equal merit.
Conclusions: Salivary gland endoscopy is an option in the management of juvenile recurrent parotitis that helps in confirming the diagnosis and that also provides therapeutic intervention. However, although there are further advantages, the definitive value of salivary gland endoscopy requires ongoing evaluation in further prospective studies.
Level Of Evidence: 4.

Depression in adolescence and young adulthood: the difficulty to integrate motivational/emotional systems.

Depression is presented as a multi-factorial bio-psycho-social expression that has evolved primarily as an effect of stressors related to the motivational/emotional systems that regulate the in our relationship with conspecifics. These stressors may be caused by two sources of threat, firstly, the loss of bonding with the caregiver and later with a partner and/or group which relates to the SEPARATION (PANIC/GRIEF) system, secondly, social defeat as an expression of the social competition and social dominance. The sexual maturity drives the individual to social competition and social dominance, even if the latter often occurs before sexual maturity, e.

Department of Pediatrics, Nilratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
Objectives: To evaluate the role of serum procalcitonin (PCT) as a diagnostic tool to differentiate bacterial sepsis from flare-ups during febrile episodes in children with known rheumatic disorders compared to other inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).
Methods: Previously diagnosed patients with known rheumatic disorders presenting in emergency or outpatient departments with febrile episodes were included in the study. Blood samples were collected upon admission to test for signs of infection, including serum PCT levels with routine laboratory and radiological tests.
Paradoxical Inflammatory Bowel Disease Induced by Golimumab in a Patient With Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Case Report and Systematic Review.

Paradoxical reactions (PRs) to biologic medications, such as psoriasis, arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), have been increasingly recognized. The aim of reporting this case is to establish an association between golimumab and exacerbation or new (de novo) IBD in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (SpA). Our case involves a young patient with juvenile-onset ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who developed de novo IBD following golimumab therapy for active spinal disease.

Cassie and Friends: A Society for Children with Juvenile Arthritis and Other Rheumatic Diseases, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Objective: Youth with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) experience elevated rates of internalizing symptoms, although more research is required to understand this phenomenon. Perfectionism, a multidimensional personality trait that involves dimensions such as striving for flawlessness (self-oriented perfectionism) and feeling that others demand perfection (socially-prescribed perfectionism), is a well-known risk factor for internalizing symptoms that has received minimal attention in pediatric populations. Preregistered hypotheses explored the relationships between youth and parent perfectionism and symptoms of depression and anxiety in youth with JIA, as mediated by (a) youth/parent negative self-evaluations and (b) youth self-concealment.

Background: Juvenile granulosa cell tumor (JGCT) of the ovary is a rare tumor with distinct clinicopathological and hormonal features primarily affecting young women and children. We conducted a complex clinicopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular analysis of five cases of JGCT.
Methods: The immunohistochemical examination was performed with 32 markers, including markers that have not been previously investigated.
