Since the 1970s, specialized hemophilia centers have been established to optimize the complex and costly treatment of patients with severe bleeding disorders. In 2019, the first GTH guidelines on the structural and process quality of hemophilia centers were published. On this basis, a procedure for the certification of hemophilia centers has been established under the technical leadership of the GTH.

The aim of the interdisciplinary S2k guideline "Acute infectious gastroenteritis in infants, children and adolescents" is to summarise the current state of knowledge on the clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and hygiene of acute infectious gastroenteritis, including nosocomial gastrointestinal infections, in infants, children and adolescents on the basis of scientific evidence, to evaluate it by expert consensus and to derive practice-relevant recommendations from it. The guideline provides a corridor for action for frequent decisions. It also serves the purpose of evidence-based further education and training and is thus intended to improve the medical care of children with acute gastroenteritis.

Background And Objectives: After the enormous health burden during the acute stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are now facing another important challenge, that is, long-COVID, a clinical condition with often disabling signs and symptoms of the neuropsychiatric, gastrointestinal, respiratory, cardiovascular, and immune systems. While the pathogenesis of this syndrome is still poorly understood, alterations of immune function and the gut microbiota seem to play important roles. Because affected individuals are frequently unable to work for prolonged periods and suffer numerous health compromises, effective treatments represent a major unmet medical need.

Background: The effectiveness of clinical ethics counselling in medicine in terms of satisfaction of the participants, support of ethical decision-making, perceived impact on clinical care, moral competence and quality of communication is now empirically well validated. In psychiatry, more and more institutions have structures for clinical ethics consultation as well; however, there is still a lack of evaluative accompanying research on the benefits and differential indications of the various forms and models of clinical ethics counselling in psychiatry.
Aim Of The Work: The article presents the principles and the step by step application of the principle-oriented clinical ethics consultation according to the Basel model 2.

Belching is the act of expelling air from the stomach or esophagus into the pharynx. Although the process is regarded as physiological, excessive belching might be associated with a significant burden for affected patients in the sense of a belching disorder. Diagnosis of a belching disorder is often challenging, and its differentiation from other conditions such as rumination syndrome, singultus, or aerophagia can be difficult.

Purpose: Outcomes for children with relapsed and refractory high-risk neuroblastoma (RR-HRNB) remain dismal. The BEACON Neuroblastoma trial (EudraCT 2012-000072-42) evaluated three backbone chemotherapy regimens and the addition of the antiangiogenic agent bevacizumab (B).
Materials And Methods: Patients age 1-21 years with RR-HRNB with adequate organ function and performance status were randomly assigned in a 3 × 2 factorial design to temozolomide (T), irinotecan-temozolomide (IT), or topotecan-temozolomide (TTo) with or without B.

Background: Drug dosing errors are among the most frequent causes of preventable harm in paediatrics. Due to the complexity of paediatric pharmacotherapy and the working conditions in healthcare, it is not surprising that human factor is a well-described source of error. Thus, a clinical decision support system (CDSS) that supports healthcare professionals (HCP) during the dose prescribing step provides a promising strategy for error prevention.

Purpose: In children with cerebral palsy, flexion deformities of the knee can be treated with a distal femoral extension osteotomy combined with either patellar tendon advancement or patellar tendon shortening. The purpose of this study was to establish a consensus through expert orthopedic opinion, using a modified Delphi process to describe the surgical indications for distal femoral extension osteotomy and patellar tendon advancement/patellar tendon shortening. A literature review was also conducted to summarize the recent literature on distal femoral extension osteotomy and patellar tendon shortening/patellar tendon advancement.

iTHER is a Dutch prospective national precision oncology program aiming to define tumour molecular profiles in children and adolescents with primary very high-risk, relapsed, or refractory paediatric tumours. Between April 2017 and April 2021, 302 samples from 253 patients were included. Comprehensive molecular profiling including low-coverage whole genome sequencing (lcWGS), whole exome sequencing (WES), RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), Affymetrix, and/or 850k methylation profiling was successfully performed for 226 samples with at least 20% tumour content.

Implementation of an Advanced Nursing Practice to advance transcultural healthcare: A practical development project Patients and staff with different cultural backgrounds encounter each other in different roles at the children's hospital. Cultural differences are at the heart of misinterpretations and misunderstandings that can result in errors and prolong hospitalisation. To meet the challenges of reaching a common understanding in trans-cultural care, improve empowerment and ensure adequate treatment of children and family alike we introduced an ANP trans-cultural care team (ANP-TKV).

Background: Retinoblastoma is the most common malignant eye tumor in children and is associated with tumor predisposition syndrome (RB1 mutation) in up to 40% of cases. Imaging is an important part of the diagnostic workup of children with retinoblastoma both during the initial diagnosis and follow-up.
Objectives: The goal of this review is to present the current state-of-the-art regarding imaging of children with retinoblastoma, including technical background and diagnostic clues with a brief discussion of future prospects.

Human milk contains more than 150 different oligosaccharides, which together are among to the quantitatively predominant solid components of breast milk. The oligosaccharide content and composition of human milk show large inter-individual differences. Oligosaccharide content is mostly influenced by genetic variants of the mother's secretor status.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome and freedom from pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) after initial repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF).
Patients And Methods: The cohort of 306 patients treated between 1980 and 2017 was divided into anatomical subgroups according to the diagnosis of TOF-pulmonary stenosis, TOF-pulmonary atresia and TOF-double outlet right ventricle. Patients were treated with transannular patch (TAP), valve sparing repair (VSR), or conduits from the right ventricle to the pulmonary arteries (RVPA conduits).

Introduction: Neonatal infants are at increased risk for motor development disorders.
Objective: To compare General Movements (GMs) classification between three neonatal risk groups, correlate the GMs Assessment (GMA) with a standardized developmental neurological examination (SDNE) and determine risk factors for abnormal GMs.
Methods: Monocentric observational study with three risk groups (children with operated congenital heart disease (CHD) n=26, with operated congenital gastrointestinal malformations (CGM) n=17 and with fetal operated myelomeningocele (MMC) n=12 who underwent inpatient video-based examination.
