Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a relatively rare but very severe gastrointestinal disease primarily affecting very preterm infants. NEC is characterized by excessive inflammation and ischemia in the intestines, and is associated with prolonged, severe visceral pain. Despite its recognition as a highly painful disease, current pain management for NEC is often inadequate, and research on optimal analgesic therapy for these patients is lacking.

Background: Oral Food Challenges (OFC) are essential for the diagnosis and follow-up of acute Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES) because no diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers are available. However, the optimal OFC procedure remains unclear.
Objectives: This systematic review aimed to assess OFC procedures' design and clinical outcomes in patients with FPIES.

Over the past 35 years, pediatric endoscopic sinus surgery (PESS) has significantly evolved from its inception as a novel intervention to become a cornerstone in the management of pediatric sinus disorders. This evolution is reflective of a broader shift towards a more nuanced understanding and treatment of pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis (PCRS), marked by the introduction of comprehensive guidelines and the refinement of surgical indications. Recent literature and the extensive experience of the senior author, who has been at the forefront of utilizing PESS since its inception, highlight a noticeable shift in the procedure's utilization.

Background: Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a common cause of premature death in children and adults with epilepsy. People with epilepsy and their caregivers prefer the risk of SUDEP to be disclosed by their clinicians; however, few tools exist to support these conversations.
Methods: We aimed to (1) characterize SUDEP communication preferences of clinicians and caregivers of children with epilepsy, and (2) leverage these preferences to develop a conversation guide to support the discussion of SUDEP risk.

: diagnosis of Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) relies on medical history, clinical findings, and detection of pathogen-specific antibodies in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The chemoattractant CXCL13 serves as an additional marker for LNB acuity. During the diagnostic workup, cytomorphological examination of immune cells in CSF provides early insights.
