[Translated article] High-risk pediatric medications: A listing proposal by interdisciplinary consensus technique.

Introduction: Pediatric patients are more likely to experience medication-related errors and serious associated harms. The identification of high-risk medications (HRM) and their study in special populations, such as children with excess body weight (EBW), is a part of safety improvement strategies.

Objective: To generate, through a consensus technique structured by an interdisciplinary group of pediatricians and hospital pharmacists, an operational and updated list of HRM for hospital use in children over 2 years of age.

Ileal Predominance in Crohn's Disease Is Associated With Increased Intestinal Surgery and Biological Therapy Use, With Lower Treatment Persistence.

Introduction: Crohn's disease (CD) varies by location, potentially affecting therapy efficacy and surgery risk, although research on this topic is conflicting. This study aims to investigate the independent association between CD location and therapeutic patterns.

Methods: We analyzed patients with CD diagnosed from January 2005 to May 2023 registered in the nationwide ENEIDA registry.

However, the lack of scientific evidence leads to discrepancies and great variability in the recommendations used by different health professionals. The aim of this consensus document is to generate recommendations based on the evidence and experience of dermatologists to unify and facilitate the use of moisturizing products in the routine clinical practice.

Posterolateral Elbow Dislocation: An All-Arthroscopic Reconstruction of the Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament.

The elbow is one of the most commonly dislocated joints. Although simple dislocations of the elbow usually resolve with conservative management, certain patients can experience residual chronic instability. Posterolateral rotational instability accounts for approximately 80% of elbow chronic instability cases.

Association between lactate determined at emergency department arrival and the probability of inhospital mortality and intensive care admission in elderly patients.

Background And Importance: Elderly patients often have atypical clinical presentations. Lactate measurement on arrival at the Emergency Department (ED) could be useful to identify elderly patients with a bad prognosis.

Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis: An International Delphi Consensus on Clinical Trial Design and Endpoints.

Background & Aims: Interventional clinical trials in ASUC are characterised by substantial heterogeneity due to a lack of consensus in several key areas of trial design - this impedes clinical research efforts to identify novel therapies. The objective of this initiative was to achieve the first consensus and provide clear position statements on ASUC trial design.

Methods: A modified Delphi consensus approach was employed with a panel of twenty clinicians with international representation and expertise in ASUC trial design and delivery.

Lung adenocarcinoma: characteristic radiological presentations.

Radiology, mainly computed tomography, has a fundamental role in diagnosis, staging and follow-up of lung adenocarcinoma, the most common type of pulmonary cancer. Within its broad spectrum of presentation, the pathological, clinical and morphological characteristics of this neoplasm allow, in an appropriate clinical context, to suggest certain histological subtypes among which are mucinous adenocarcinoma, lepidic growth adenocarcinoma or associated with cystic lung lesions. The objective of this review is to describe the pathologic, clinical and radiological features of those characteristic forms of lung carcinoma that can be diagnosed radiologically with fair accuracy.

Multidisciplinary boards: Survey on the current situation and needs of Spanish radiologists.

Predicting success with reduced dosing frequency of tralokinumab in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis.

Background: Approved tralokinumab maintenance dosing regimens for treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) include 300 mg every two weeks (Q2W) and every four weeks (Q4W), that clinicians may consider for patients who achieved clear or almost clear skin at Week 16 with initial Q2W dosing.

Objectives: To identify predictive factors associated with maintained response after switching to tralokinumab Q4W, evaluate recapture of treatment response after relapse on Q4W, and assess treatment-emergent immunogenicity with tralokinumab Q4W.

Methods: These post hoc analyses utilized machine learning to identify predictive factors for maintained treatment response at Week 52 using data from the Week 16 responder population (ie, patients who met Investigator's Global Assessment of clear/almost clear skin [IGA 0/1] and/or ≥75% improvement in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-75) at Week 16 with tralokinumab Q2W monotherapy) of the phase 3 ECZTRA 1 and 2 trials.

Position statement of the Spanish Working Group on Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis on the use of Telemedicine in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic digestive condition that requires continuous monitoring by healthcare professionals to determine appropriate therapy and manage short- and long-term complications. Telemedicine has become an essential approach for managing chronic conditions such as IBD, improving care accessibility and continuity, decreasing hospitalization rates, and optimizing patient follow-up. It enables rapid treatment adjustments and encourages patient self-management.

[Artículo traducido] Ensayo clínico aleatorizado sobre la utilidad de la impresión 3D en las fracturas intraarticulares de radio distal.

Objectives: We evaluated the utility of 3 D printing technology for preoperative planning in the treatment of intra-articular fractures of the distal radius in relation to the improvement of surgical technique, radiological and clinical results.

Material And Methods: A total of 30 patients with 2 B and C fractures of the AO classification were operated on by a single surgeon with a volar plate, randomly divided into two groups, 15 of them with conventional planning (Rx and CT) and 15 adding a 3 D model of the fracture and the previous simulation of the intervention. Simulation time, surgical time in minutes, radioscopy time in minutes, loss of material expressed in lost screws were recorded.

Spanish Working Group in Crohn´s disease and ulcerative colitis (GETECCU) position paper on cardiovascular disease in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Introduction to iodinated contrasts: Properties, intravenous administration and distribution throughout the body.

Iodinated contrast media enable greater attenuation of vascular and visceral structures in radiological studies and are widely used due to their high degree of safety, easy administration, acceptable level of tolerance, wide distribution and rapid excretion, qualities determined by their composition. Automated power injectors are used to administer contrast media. Once injected, contrast is distributed throughout the body, remaining in the intravascular space during its first passage before reaching the organs and spreading into the extracellular interstitial space, followed by a recirculation phenomenon.

Optimising the use of iodinated contrast agents in CT scans: Vascular, visceral, multiphasic and split-bolus examinations.

Iodinated contrast is administered when carrying out computed tomography (CT) scans to define anatomical structures and detect pathologies. The contrast is administered according to different protocols which vary significantly and include vascular, visceral, multiphasic and split-bolus injection studies. Each protocol has its own indications and particularities to optimise the use of the contrast medium in each situation.

Consider Carcinoma Cuniculatum in Recurrent Foot Ulcer: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Carcinoma cuniculatum is a variant of squamous cell carcinoma, characterized by a slow growth with progressive crypt-like invasion of deep tissue. This tumor is frequently misdiagnosed as a benign skin lesion both clinically and histopathologically. The final diagnosis is often delayed as it requires a large sample biopsy.

Utility of virtual reality in medical training: Clinical management of a patient with knee monoarthritis.
