Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) is the most critical intervention provided during delivery room resuscitation. In the new guidelines, this recommendation has been expanded to suggest the use of laryngeal mask airyway (LMA) versus face masks for PPV. Evidence-based information and hands-on training related to this practice will help more healthcare providers become familiar with and appropriately use LMA during delivery room resuscitations. |

Lung injury is generated from the early stage of hyperoxia through the biologic effects of cell death and inflammatory response, which eventually leads to evolution of bronchopul-monary dysplasia. Therefore, a protective measure against hyperoxia-induced lung injury is needed. The present study observed that anti-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-10 had protective effects on newborn rat lungs from injury induced at the early stage of hyperoxia, by preventing cell death and down-regulating inflammatory response. |

Sleep disorders affect more than half of pregnancies worldwide and can harm maternal health and offspring outcomes. Prioritizing maternal sleep as a public health strategy may help prevent prenatal and pediatric allergic diseases and reduce their burden. Other maternal health strategies may also reduce the burden of offspring allergic diseases, while adequate maternal sleep is associated with other offspring outcomes, underscoring its importance as a key public health strategy. |

Greiner-Mai et al. expand recognition of telomere biology disorder (TBD)-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) in children, demonstrating heterogenous radiographic and ILD subtypes in combination with variable extrapulmonary phenotypes, even in the absence of ultrashort peripheral blood telomere length (TL). While their findings highlight some of the limitations of current TL testing methods, they introduce critical questions regarding family screening and the role of antifibrotic and telomere-directed therapies in children with TBD-related ILD. |

Question: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most prevalent chronic lung disease of prematurity. Numerous nonpharmacological/pharmacological interventions have been investigated without clear consensus. Can ciclesonide, a new synthetic glucocorticoid, effectively treat BPD?
Finding: Ciclesonide mitigated hyperoxia-induced lung injury and right ventricular hypertrophy in newborn rats.
Meaning: These findings suggest that postnatal ciclesonide may be an alternative to existing corticosteroids for the treatment of BPD. |

Pediatric for invasive group A Streptococcus has resurged globally with increasing severity and toxin-mediated presentations. Beta-lactams remain the first-line treatment, but linezolid has emerged as a safe alternative in cases refractory to β-lactams. Early intravenous immunoglobulin use may improve outcomes in severe streptococcal toxic shock syndrome cases, while C-reactive protein and procalcitonin aid early risk stratification. Integrating global surveillance and individualized therapy is crucial in the postpandemic era. |

Question: Do the loss of function (LOF) of ATP7B mutated variants affect the severity or outcomes of hepatic Wilson disease (WD)?
Finding: LOF is associated with advanced liver disease, portal hypertension, and extrahepatic involvement. LOF did not determine hepatic or overall outcomes. ATP7B: c.813C>A (truncation variant) has an aggressive course with higher predisposition to acute liver failure. Lower serum exchangeable copper levels and higher disappearance of Kayser-Fleischer ring were observed in ATP7B: c.3809A>G (nontruncation variant) suggesting a better effect of chelation and lesser systemic copper.
Meaning: Truncation of the ATP7B protein determines the severity of the phenotype in WD. |

National regulations, academic guidelines, and clinical trends in food allergen immunotherapies (FA-AIT) differ among countries and have changed rapidly. Current officially approved FA-AIT are oral immunotherapy (OIT) using heated milk/egg in Korea and peanut OIT using standardized products in the United States and Europe. FA-AIT should be administered by specialist physicians with experience administering oral food challenge tests and managing severe allergic reactions inside and outside research settings. |

Liver transplantation (LT) is crucial for children with end-stage liver diseases, yet bloodstream infections (BSI) pose significant risks, despite medical advancements. Immunosuppressants, essential for preventing organ rejection, heighten infection susceptibility. Understanding BSI organisms is vital due to antimicrobial resistance. Pediatric LT recipients have unique risk factors, demanding tailored preventive measures. This systematic review on bacterial BSI emphasizes the urgency of effective prevention strategies, considering the high incidence and distinct organism profile. Further research is vital for optimizing antibiotic management and improving outcomes for this vulnerable population. |

Question: What is the level of immunity against meningococcal infections in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) under the age of 19, and is vaccination against meningococcus necessary for these patients, given their susceptibility to infections due to immunosuppressive treatments and disease characteristics?
Finding: Although some of our study patients exhibited serum bactericidal activity against meningococci, most remained seronegative.
Meaning: These findings suggest that patients with SLE who are at risk of meningococcal infection receive appropriate vaccinations. |

Question: Can deep learning models trained on expert-verified electroencephalography segments reliably detect seizures and be applied to single-channel wearable monitoring?
Finding: This technique demonstrated 80.1%–100% sensitivity and low false-alarm rates. On 1,604 expert-labeled segments, the model outperformed previous studies in terms of latency and accuracy across unseen datasets.
Meaning: Expert-labeled data are essential for achieving universal seizure detection. This channel-specific approach enabled efficient and continuous monitoring using wearable devices. |

Question: Did the incidence of central precocious puberty (CPP) and premature thelarche (PT) among Thai children change during 2018–2024?
Finding: CPP incidence in girls more than doubled during the COVID-19 pandemic and remained elevated thereafter, primarily at age 8 to <9 years. PT incidence increased progressively, particularly in girls aged 7 to <8 years.
Meaning: In peripubertal age groups, CPP and PT incidence increases may reflect pandemic-related factors, obesity, awareness, or earlier pubertal onset. |

Question: Do serum soluble C5b-9 (sC5b-9) levels change following immunomodulatory therapy in children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS- C)?
Finding: In this longitudinal multicentric study of 100 children with MIS-C, serum sC5b-9 concentrations significantly decreased following treatment, although some patients showed persistently elevated levels at discharge.
Meaning: Serial sC5b-9 measurements may indicate treatment-associated immune activity and recovery in MIS-C. |

Question: Telemedicine interventions in Brazilian public pediatric intensive care units effectively address the challenges related to specialized care provision in resource-limited settings.
Finding: The implementation of telemedicine significantly reduced overall mortality rates among mechanically ventilated children (from 20.7% to 10.4%) and increased ventilator-free days from 3 (interquartile range, 0–7) to 4 (interquartile range, 2–8) days.
Meaning: These findings support telemedicine as a viable strategy for enhancing pediatric critical care in public health systems, particularly by improving patient outcomes. |

Question: Are red cell distribution width (RDW) and reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr) reliable alternative markers for detecting iron depletion in children with cyanotic congenital heart disease, whose status is often masked by compensatory polycythemia?
Finding: Multivariate analysis demonstrated that RDW (≥18.8%) and CHr (<28 pg) are strong independent predictors of iron depletion in this vulnerable population.
Meaning: Combined use of these accessible markers facilitates earlier diagnosis and improves clinical management in resource-limited healthcare facilities. |

Button battery (BB) ingestion is an increasing hazard. Catastrophic gastrointestinal bleeding due to pseudoaneurysm rupture following BB impaction is often fatal. Here we report the case of an unwitnessed BB ingestion in an 18-month-old boy who presented with repeated massive UGIB due to a left CCA pseudoaneurysm that was successfully managed multidisciplinarily. BB ingestion should be considered in toddlers presenting with hematemesis. |
