Objective: To evaluate 2 cases of implant loss after osseointegration using low-resonance frequency analysis.
Patients: Ten children were operated on consecutively with the non-skin-thinning implantation of bone-anchored hearing devices. A capsule report was completed with 2 children who experienced loss of their abutments 3 to 4 weeks after implantation.
Intervention: Eligible children for bone-anchored hearing device implantation were operated on and followed for a total of 1 year. Visits were planned for 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery. Each visit included clinical controls and a stability test with Osstell's resonance frequency analysis measurement, using stability values from 0 to 100 (representing a range of low to high stability, respectively). Of the 10 cases, two were performed as a 2-step, whereas the other 8 were performed as a 1-step non-skin-thinning procedure.
Main Outcome Measure And Results: Two of the children (1 two-step and 1 one-step) showed low-resonance measurements of 30 or less after surgery. Both of these children lost their abutments early after surgery. These children had no skin-related problems at the time of abutment loss.
Conclusion: It may be possible to predict abutment loss in children with primary resonance values lower than 30.

Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a prevalent dermatological condition characterized by a distinctive herald patch, followed by secondary eruptions, often forming a "Christmas tree" pattern on the trunk. Despite its recognizable clinical presentation, the etiology of PR remains uncertain, with hypotheses pointing to both infectious and noninfectious origins. Human herpesviruses (HHV) 6 and 7 have been implicated, with evidence suggesting viral reactivation as a potential trigger.

Background: Bariatric surgery is the most effective intervention for severe pediatric obesity, but a subset of youth experience suboptimal weight loss and/or recurrent weight gain. Early re-initiation of obesity pharmacotherapy postoperatively may improve outcomes, though this has not been evaluated in pediatric populations.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study at a tertiary care children's hospital evaluated the safety and efficacy of reintroducing obesity pharmacotherapy within six weeks after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).

Purpose: Perioperative respiratory adverse event (PRAE) is one of the most common complications in pediatric anesthesia. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of perioperative pharmacological interventions to prevent the development of PRAE in children undergoing noncardiac surgery.

Unlabelled: Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is the most common sex chromosomal aneuploidy in males (47,XXY karyotype in 80-90% of cases), primarily characterized by hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and infertility. It encompasses a broad phenotypic spectrum, leading to variability in neurocognitive and psychosocial outcomes among affected individuals. Despite the recognized correlation between KS and various neuropsychiatric conditions, studies investigating potential sleep disorders, particularly in pediatric subjects, are lacking.
