Genital Aphthosis Linked to Systemic Diagnoses in Children (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In children presenting with recurrent oral aphthosis, the presence of genital aphthosis during initial evaluation was associated with an increased likelihood of a systemic or chronic diagnosis. Recurrent fever and tonsillitis or pharyngitis were independently associated with lower odds of systemic disease. "Baseline manifestations present at the first rheumatology assessment were associated with the diagnostic category during follow-up," the authors wrote. "These are adjusted associations, not a
Daily Probiotic Fails to Prevent Infections in Infants (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Daily use of the oral probiotic Streptococcus salivarius K12 from age 6 months to 2 years did not reduce the occurrence of acute otitis media (AOM) or respiratory tract infections (RTIs) or the use of antibiotics in healthy infants, a large trial in New Zealand showed. "Taken with existing placebo-controlled evidence, our findings do not support routine oral S. salivarius K12 for prevention of AOM or RTIs in the general population of infants and young children," the authors wrote. The study was
Diaphragmatic Thickness Linked to Weaning Failure in Infants (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mechanically ventilated infants who failed weaning had significantly lower diaphragmatic thickness at inspiration and diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF), and higher rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI), compared with successfully weaned infants. "[The study] findings suggest that dynamic measures of diaphragmatic recruitment and respiratory load during spontaneous breathing may be more clinically informative than static or volume-based measurements for assessing weaning readiness in mechanicall
New Tool May Identify Adverse Events in Hospitalized Kids (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A new German trigger tool identified adverse events (AEs) in pediatric cardiology admissions, with most events causing temporary harm. The tool demonstrated good interrater reliability and was feasible for systematic detection of patient harm in hospitalized children. "By combining established [trigger tool] methodology with context-specific adaptation, it contributes an important instrument for advancing patient safety measurement in pediatric care and provides a solid foundation for future pat
Ankle Strength Not Linked to Joint Hypermobility in Children (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In healthy children aged 5 to 10 years, ankle muscle strength was not associated with ankle dorsiflexion or general joint hypermobility. Foot posture was also not linked to ankle muscle strength in most comparisons. "[The] findings suggest that ankle muscle strength alone has limited clinical utility as an indicator of lower limb hypermobility in healthy children," the authors wrote. The study was led by Carlos Martinez-Sebastian, University of Malaga, Spain. It was published online on August 15
