Background: Protracted bacterial bronchitis (PBB) is a leading cause of chronic wet cough in children. The current standard treatment in European and American guidelines is 2 weeks of antibiotics, but the optimal duration of therapy is unknown. We describe the first randomised controlled trial to assess the duration of antibiotic treatment in children with chronic wet cough and suspected PBB.

Department of Respiratory and Sleep Medicine, Queensland Children's Hospital, Centre for Children's Health Research, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, QLD, Australia.
Background And Objective: Long-term data on children with PBB has been identified as a research priority. We describe the 5-year outcomes for children with PBB to ascertain the presence of chronic respiratory disease (bronchiectasis, recurrent PBB and asthma) and identify the risk factors for these.
Methods: Prospective cohort study was undertaken at the Queensland Children's Hospital, Brisbane, Australia, of 166 children with PBB and 28 controls (undergoing bronchoscopy for symptoms other than chronic wet cough).

Clinical Psychology Unit, Department of Psychology, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK.
Introduction: People with a visible difference, such as scarring or a skin condition, can experience anxiety and intrusive reactions from others when in social situations. The use of products to conceal marks on the skin is provided in a number of different hospital services and by charities. However, there are relatively few psychosocial interventions available for these individuals.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the rate of open reduction and complications of elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) in treating unstable diaphyseal forearm fractures in children. We performed a retrospective review of a consecutive series of 102 paediatric patients with a mean age of 9 years (range: 7-14 years) who underwent ESIN of unstable closed forearm fractures at three different centres. Closed reduction of one or both bones was achieved in 68 (67%) patients and open reduction was required in 34 (33%) patients.

Article Synopsis
- A caeco-peritoneal band (CPB) was found in patients experiencing chronic right iliac fossa (RIF) pain during diagnostic laparoscopy, described as a veil-like structure linked to the caecum and abdomen.
- A study analyzed data from 31 patients aged 11-16 over a decade, identifying CPB in five patients who had inconclusive preoperative tests and previous surgeries.
- Surgical division of the CPB led to symptom relief in all cases, with no recurrence of pain reported during an average follow-up of 575 days, indicating that CPB could be an overlooked cause of chronic RIF pain.

We assessed the risk for refractures following removal of elastic nails and plates from paediatric forearms. Out of 82 children who had 112 plates removed, seven patients (8.5%) had refractures when removals were within 12 months of implantation.
