Background: Paediatric sarcomas, including rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma, represent a group of malignancies that significantly contribute to cancer-related morbidity and mortality in children and young adults. These cancers share common challenges, including high rates of metastasis, recurrence or treatment resistance, leading to a 5-year survival rate of approximately 20% for patients with advanced disease stages. Despite the critical need, therapeutic advancements have been limited over the past three decades.

Introduction: Patients with food allergies need personalized information on their risk of reaction in "real-life" situations. This multicentric study aimed to investigate the link during accidental reactions between the nature and amount of food allergens consumed in "real-life situation" and the severity of the symptoms.
Methods: Patients were prospectively recruited from December 1, 2020, to December 31, 2021, at the emergency departments in the Geneva University Hospitals and local pediatric emergency facilities, through an allergy outpatient clinic, at school and daycare facilities and trough their primary care physicians.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia occurs periodically in an endemic-epidemic pattern. The incidence of this disease has fallen drastically as a result of the health measures imposed for the COVID-19 pandemic. In Switzerland, as elsewhere in the world, a new epidemic has been affecting pediatrics and adult populations since September 2023.

Osteosarcoma is the most common form of primary bone cancer, which primarily afflicts children and adolescents. Chemotherapy, consisting of doxorubicin, cisplatin and methotrexate (MAP) increased the 5-year osteosarcoma survival rate from 20% to approximately 60% by the 1980s. However, osteosarcoma survival rates have remained stagnant for several decades.
