Meckel & #39;s diverticulum & #8211; Clinical presentation and pitfalls in diagnosis in the pediatric age group in Singapore
Conclusion: Meckel's diverticulum has a male predominance. Meckel's scan has a high sensitivity in the children presenting with fresh painless rectal bleeding but is of limited use in the diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum in other forms of presentations. False-positive scans can be anticipated in the presence of weak or ectopic uptake. False-negative scans can occur even in the presence of bleeding and in spite of the presence of gastric mucosa in the Meckel's diverticulum. Laparoscopy is a useful tool in diagnosis and treatment.

Is ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block superior to a caudal epidural or wound infiltration for intraoperative and postoperative analgesia in children undergoing unilateral infraumbilical surgery ? A double-blind randomized trial
Conclusion: We found that USG-guided TAP block is a good alternative, with longer and effective postoperative analgesia compared to CB. However, the quality of intraoperative analgesia was best in group CB. Local infiltration was a poor alternative. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)
