Volumetric capnography can feasibly be used to assess lung function or the degree of lung disease in spontaneously breathing preterm infants, a recent study has found.

In children with Crohn’s disease with sustained clinical and deep remission, cessation of azathioprine (AZA) does not seem to lead to an excess risk of relapse, a recent study has found. In contrast, discontinuation of infliximab does entail such a risk.

The level of lipocalin-2 and calprotectin in the stool of premature neonates represents a significant biomarker signature for predicting the development of necrotizing enterocolitis, as shown in a study.

While household rules regarding adolescents’ use of devices and technology are common, their impact on bedtime appears to be mixed, suggesting the need for further investigation, a recent study has found. Nevertheless, many adolescents report having inadequate sleep.

Supplementation with vitamin D, particularly at the lower dosage of 600 IU/day, appears to confer positive effects on high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and total cholesterol, with significant changes persisting after the supplementation period, a study has shown.

A shorter duration of anticoagulant therapy of 6 weeks is as effective in preventing recurrent thrombosis as the conventional 3-month treatment course without increasing the risk of bleeding in young patients aged below 21 years old with acute provoked venous thromboembolism, according to the Kids-DOTT* trial.

Existing scoring systems for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are sufficiently predictive of cognitive and motor outcomes in term-born infants, a recent study has found. For language assessment, more detailed scoring inventories seem to perform better.

One-time gene therapy in patients with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT) results in near-normal or normal haemoglobin levels and transfusion independence, suggesting its curative potential, a long follow-up study has shown.
