Consolidation on Chest Radiograph is not as Predictive of Bacterial Pneumonia in Hospitalized Children as has been Thought
In a secondary analysis of 2212 children hospitalized in three children's hospitals with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) during participation in the national prospective EPIC study, 1795 children had detection of at least one typical or atypical bacterial, or viral pathogen. A single study radiologist at each institution re-read a random sample of the previously interpreted study radiographs and categorized findings according to 2005 WHO pediatric definitions. Investigators homed in on predictive value of radiographic consolidation for etiology of pneumonia among those with pathogen(s) detected and found only 12% positi...

Acknowledging the Trauma of Past Medical Encounters
In this volume of The Journal Cuneo et al report results of a survey of 304 providers exploring the perception of the impact of pediatric medical traumatic stress (PMTS) on the medical care of patients with pediatric-onset chronic illnesses, as well as self-reported competencies regarding prevention, treatment, and counseling, and barriers to effective intervention. Although PMTS is not a new concept, this report expands on prior findings. Importantly, it focuses on chronic disease, whereas many previous reports highlight acute injury or illness.

Brain and Serum Glucose Homeostasis during Therapuetic Hypothermia in HIE
Therapeutic hypothermia is now recommended as standard therapy for infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. However, there remains considerable uncertainty about many aspects of this treatment, including the relationships between brain injury, brain energy supply, and concentrations of glucose, the major brain energy source, in the blood. Because both high and low blood glucose concentrations have been linked to worse outcomes, understanding these relationships may be important to optimise brain energy balance and prevent additional damage.

The Healthcare Price Transparency Illusion: Does anyone know what laboratory tests cost?
In an important analysis of the usefulness and total estimated cost of a screening panel of laboratory tests for patients newly diagnosed with celiac disease, Farmer et al proposed in their recently published article a truncated protocol to alleviate the costs for patients.1 Inadvertently, the authors demonstrate a problem with hospital price transparency in the United States.
