Epinephrine auto-injector needle lengths can both subcutaneous and periosteal/intraosseous injection be avoided?
CONCLUSION: Common HPEAIs have a high risk of periosteal/intraosseous penetration in children and subcutaneous injections in overweight and obese adults. The LPEAIs have some risk of subcutaneous injection in adults. HPEAIs 0.1 mg epinephrine and shorter needle has no risk of periosteal/intraosseous injection but a high risk of subcutaneous deposit. For use in adult, over-weight/obese patients, HPEAIs and LPEAIs should have longer needles. Future studies should focus on the triggering pressures and the variations in needle length.

Effects of nonthermal food processing technologies on food allergens: A review of recent research advances
Publication date: Available online 2 February 2018 Source:Trends in Food Science & Technology Author(s): Flora-Glad Chizoba Ekezie, Jun-Hu Cheng, Da-Wen Sun Background The increasing prevalence of food allergy cases is an issue of global concern. As a result, scientific innovations have been taking place to induce chemical modifications for achieving attenuation of allergenic responses in sensitive individuals or for manufacturing hypoallergenic foods using food processing technologies. Conventional processing techniques involving heat treatment are usually exploited, but may be accompanied by dramatic changes in ...

First trimester fetal size and prescribed asthma medication at 15 years of age
There is increasing evidence that antenatal factors predispose to childhood asthma. We tested the hypothesis that reduced first trimester fetal size is associated with increased risk for asthma at 15 years of age. Fetal size in the first and second trimester was ascertained by ultrasound scan. The primary outcome of being dispensed one or more asthma medications by the family doctor in the year before the 15th birthday was determined from routinely acquired dispensing data. Dispensing data were available for 1699 (88% of the original cohort) participants at 15 years of age and questionnaire data for 750 (39%). Ea...

Makayla ’s story: Living with Leri-Weill Dyschondrosteosis
Our daughter Makayla was born perfectly healthy on April 5th, 2014, passing all of the usual newborn screenings without issue. From day one, her personality shone through. She was strong-willed and had a smile that would light up her eyes before her mouth even showed a hint of joy. But over the next 3 months, Makayla wasn’t eating well and wasn’t gaining enough weight.  Our pediatrician referred us to Dr. Elizabeth Hait, a gastroenterologist at Boston Children’s Hospital. Dr. Hait would change Makayla’s formula multiple times and put her on medication for her acid reflux. Her pediatrician also tested her for a mil...

The feasibility and safety of PICCs accessed via the superficial femoral vein in patients with superior vena cava syndrome.
CONCLUSIONS: Real-time ultrasound-guided PICCs accessed via the superficial femoral vein at the mid-thigh is a new modified technique with low complications, which can be a feasible and safe alternative venous access for patients with SVCS. PMID: 29148000 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided Cardiac Intervention in a Fontan Patient with Allergy to Contrast Media.
We describe the case of a 16-year-old boy who presented with fatigue and cyanosis. He had undergone a Fontan operation 14 years previously, after which he developed an allergy to iodinated contrast media. Contrast echocardiograms by manual injection of microbubbles suggested the presence of a venovenous collateral vessel from the brachiocephalic vein draining into the pulmonary vein. We used intravascular ultrasound as the sole imaging method to identify the target vessel and to guide deployment of an Amplatzer Vascular Plug II. The patient experienced immediate improvement in his systemic saturation. Our experience shows ...

Assessment of dietary food and nutrient intake and bone density in children with eczema.
CONCLUSIONS: Dietary restrictions are common among Chinese children with eczema in Hong Kong, who have a lower calcium, vitamin D, and iron intake. Nonetheless, such practice is not associated with changes to bone mineral density or bone resorptive biomarker. PMID: 28775219 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Individual and Joint Effects of Early-Life Ambient PM2.5 Exposure and Maternal Prepregnancy Obesity on Childhood Overweight or Obesity
Conclusions: In the present study, we observed that early life exposure to PM2.5 may play an important role in the early life origins of COWO and may increase the risk of COWO in children of mothers who were overweight or obese before pregnancy beyond the risk that can be attributed to MPBMI alone. Our findings emphasize the clinical and public health policy relevance of early life PM2.5 exposure. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP261 Received: 29 March 2016 Revised: 08 August 2016 Accepted: 23 August 2016 Published: 14 June 2017 Address correspondence to X.

Neuroblastoma in a 6-year-old boy
A previously healthy 6-year-old boy presented to the children's Accident and Emergency Department with right-sided abdominal pain. On examination, there was a palpable, non-tender abdominal mass, with no lymphadenopathy. Initial investigations revealed pancytopenia (haemoglobin was 5.7 g/dL, white cell count 3.7 x 109/L, platelets 134 x 109/L) and lactate dehydrogenase 1690 (normal range 240–480) with normal urea and electrolytes/liver function tests. Abdominal ultrasound showed a large central mass extending from the epigastrium to the level of the aortic bifurcation. A chest X-ray showed a ...

Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography uncovering massive gallbladder mucocele in a patient with ambiguous clinical and laboratory findings: a case report
Conclusion Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography should be considered as a complementary imaging modality to assess patients presenting with atypical biliary symptoms, particularly when ultrasound is equivocal or inconclusive, clinical and laboratory findings are non-specific, and computer tomography is contraindicated. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography can also be considered in patients with acute cholecystitis not adherent to a specific severity grade.

Inadequacy of current pediatric epinephrine autoinjector needle length for use in infants and toddlers.
CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that the optimal EAI needle length for infants and toddlers weighing 7.5 to 15 kg should be shorter than the needle length in currently available pediatric EAIs to avoid accidental intraosseous injections. PMID: 28483294 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Mast cell diseases in patients with insect venom allergy: implications for diagnosis and therapy
ConclusionThe determination of baseline serum tryptase (bST) and an examination of the skin are recommended in all adult patients with a  previous history of systemic sting reactions. Patients with mastocytosis of the skin and/or bST elevated above 20 µg/l should always undergo further investigation. If bST is elevated in the absence of mastocytosis, or if a more accurate diagnosis of the mast cell disease is relevant, a so-cal led liquid biopsy can be performed, enabling a KIT mutation (tyrosine kinase receptor) to be investigated in peripheral blood. Bone marrow biopsy, bone density measurement, and upper abdomina...
