A pulled elbow is a common childhood orthopaedic injury that is usually caused by longitudinal traction on the hand. The pathophysiological mechanism of a pulled elbow involves interposition of the annular ligament into the radiohumeral joint. Recent ultrasonographic studies have shown that both the supinator muscle and annular ligament were trapped into the radiohumeral joint.

Department of Pediatrics, Shinshu University School of Medicine, Matsumoto, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- The Japan Pediatric Helicobacter pylori Study Group first published guidelines on childhood H. pylori infection in 1997 and later revised them due to declining eradication rates from standard triple therapy.
- Current discussions in Japan consider a "test-and-treat" strategy to help prevent gastric cancer in adults, while a collaborative set of North American and European guidelines advises against using this approach for asymptomatic children.
- The second revision of the guidelines from the JSPGHAN includes recommendations for using H. pylori culture for diagnosis and antimicrobial susceptibility testing and emphasizes tailored therapy based on identified susceptibilities rather than a broad "test-and-treat" strategy.
