Non-Traumatic Clavicular Lesions in Children
CNO predominates among pediatric non-traumatic clavicular lesions, but LCH and rare conditions are not uncommon, underscoring the need for careful differential diagnosis and targeted imaging
Regional Gastrointestinal Permeability Patterns in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Objectives: To assess gastrointestinal permeability (GP) in children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) using a segment-specific sugar probe approach to assess gastric, small intestinal, and colonic permeability, and to determine whether GP alterations are associated with disease activity. Methods: This prospective study included 30 children with JIA and 22 healthy controls who underwent a validated multi-sugar absorption test. Urinary excr…
Chronic Non-Bacterial Osteomyelitis (CNO) in a Tertiary Center in Southern Italy
Background/Objectives: Chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is a rare autoinflammatory disease characterized by chronic sterile uni- or multifocal osteomyelitis. The treatment of CNO is mostly empirical and the outcome of the disease has not yet been standardized. The aims of this study were to correlate clinically active lesions with radiological signs of inflammation and to evaluate the outcomes in terms of symptoms and radiological signs …
Multi-Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) in 2023
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is defined as a clinically serious condition requiring hospitalization involving fever, multi-system organ dysfunction, and an increase in inflammatory biomarkers. The syndrome was originally described as a post-infectious complication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, which usually causes COVID-19. During the COVID-19 pandemic, not only did the virus u…
Incidence and Prevalence of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) in Southern Italy
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a pediatric hyperinflammatory syndrome related to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection whose epidemiology is not very well known at present. The objective of the study was to better understand the incidence of MIS-C in the Apulia region in southern Italy. Our primary goal was to estimate the incidence of newly identified cases of MIS-C in children aged 0-18…
Psychological Effects and Quality of Life in Parents and Children with Jia-Associated Uveitis
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a chronic inflammatory disease common in children and young adults. Uveitis is the most frequent serious extra-articular JIA manifestation and can lead to severe ocular complications, vision loss, and permanent blindness. This study aims to evaluate the psychological condition and the quality of life of children affected by JIA associated with uveitis (JIA-U) and the repercussion of this condition on parents…
Association between Burnout and Anger in Oncology versus Ophthalmology Health Care Professionals
The prevalence of burnout in oncology staff was compared with that of the ophthalmology staff, who normally present a low prevalence of burnout as described in this literature. The correlation of burnout with the emotion of anger was also investigated. Thirty-six subjects working in an oncology department and 32 working in an ophthalmology department were examined using the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory.…
