When two Z-scores meet —analysis of exercise capacity of children and adolescents with Kawasaki disease by a new Z-score model of coronary artery and a new Z-score evaluating peak oxygen consumption
ConclusionsKD-CA had slightly reduced EC than healthy peers. KD-CA with Max-Z ≥ 2.5 had significantly lower peak EC than those < 2.5. Max-Z is potentially useful follow-up indicator after acute stage of KD. (Source: Italian Journal of Pediatrics)

Predictors and a novel predictive model for intravascular immunoglobulin resistance in Kawasaki disease
ConclusionThis study identified WBC, N/L ratio, HCT, ALB, TBIL, LDH, and Cr as predictors for IVIG resistance in patients with KD. The proposed novel nomogram with a high level of accuracy and reliability may benefit clinical decision-making upon treatment initiation. (Source: Italian Journal of Pediatrics)

Predictive value of chemokines (CCL 2) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for refractory mycoplasma pneumonia in children
ConclusionThe level of CCL2 in BALF was high in children with MPP and had a high predictive value for RMPP. CCL2 can be used as one of the biomarkers for predicting RMPP. (Source: Italian Journal of Pediatrics)

Report and follow-up on two new patients with congenital mesoblastic nephroma
Tumors are rare in neonatal age. Congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN) is a usually benign renal tumor observed at birth, or in the first months of life. It may also be identified prenatally and associated wit... (Source: Italian Journal of Pediatrics)

Report and follow-up on two new patients with congenital mesoblastic nephroma
ConclusionsThe finding of a fetal abdominal mass should prompt suspicion of CMN, especially if it is associated with polyhydramnios; it should also alert obstetricians and neonatologists to the risk of preterm delivery. Although being a usually benign condition, CMN may be associated with neonatal systemic-metabolic or postoperative complications. High-level surgical expertise, careful neonatological intensive care and histopathological/cytogenetic-molecular definition are the cornerstones for the optimal management of patients. This should also include an individualized follow-up, oriented to the early detection of any po...

Bronchiolitis guidelines: what about the Italian situation in a primary care setting?
AbstractAcute viral bronchiolitis is the most common cause of hospitalization in children under 12 months of age. The variable clinical presentation and the potential for sudden deterioration of the clinical conditions require a close monitoring by healthcare professionals.In Italy, first access care for children is provided by primary care physicians (PCPs) who often must face to a heterogeneous disease presentation that, in some cases, make the management of patient with bronchiolitis challenging. Consequently, Italian studies report poor adherence to national and international guidelines processed to guide the clinician...
