Lung Function Trajectories After Preterm Birth
Preterm birth interrupts critical phases of lung development and is associated with long-term alterations in respiratory structure and function. While bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) has traditionally been considered the principal determinant of adverse outcomes, accumulating evidence indicates that prematurity per se contributes substantially to persistent pulmonary impairment. Lung function trajectories in preterm-born children frequently trac…
Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome in Children and Adolescents
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is a severe and underrecognized respiratory disorder characterized by the coexistence of obesity, daytime hypercapnia, and sleep-disordered breathing. Although well described in adults, pediatric OHS remains poorly defined despite the rising prevalence of childhood obesity. Its pathophysiology is multifactorial, involving obesity-related mechanical constraints, impaired ventilatory control, altered chemosens…
Potential Predictors of Long Covid in Italian Children
Specific comorbidities or symptoms during acute illness were identified as being risk factors for LCS. Understanding which are the risk factors for LCS could yield a clearer picture of its pathogenesis
Neuropsychological Symptoms and Quality of Life during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Children
Among COVID-19 patients, neuropsychological and QoL impairment was more evident in the Long COVID-19 subgroup, although emotional and relational issues were also reported by uninfected patients, with a growing request for specialist support as a possible consequence of social restriction
Severe Hypercapnia Requiring 48-h Whole-Body Hypothermia in an Infant with Acute Bronchiolitis
Bronchiolitis is a clinical syndrome involving the lower respiratory tract of infants and young children. The majority of patients recover using adequate hydration and oxygen (O 2 ) therapy, while a small number of patients require ventilatory assistance. Beyond these therapeutical approaches, there are no available strategies for patients that do not improve. Hypothermia is a measure used to prevent neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy by pr…
A 5-Year-Old Child with a Deep Neck Abscess Complicated by Laryngeal Obstruction
Deep neck space infections (DNSI) are defined as infections in the potential spaces and fascial planes of the neck. We show the clinical case of a retro and para-pharyngeal abscess in a healthy 5-year-old child complicated by compression and dislocation of the larynx with marked airway caliber reduction and potentially fatal extension up to the mediastinal aditus. DNSI can occur at any age and, due to its rapid progression, requires immediate tre…
S100B Maternal Blood Levels in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Are Birthweight, Gender and Delivery Mode Dependent
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is one of the main causes of perinatal mortality/morbidity. Today, a parameter offering useful information on fetal central nervous system (CNS) development/damage is eagerly awaited. We investigated the role of brain-protein S100B in the maternal blood of GDM pregnancies by means of a prospective case-control study in 646 pregnancies (GDM: n = 106; controls: n = 530). Maternal blood samples for S100B measureme…
Text Neck Syndrome in Children and Adolescents
Neck pain is a prevalent health problem, largely reported in adult patients. However, very recent data show that new technologies are inducing a shift in the prevalence of this relevant issue from adulthood to all of the pediatric ages. In fact, the precocious and inappropriate use of personal computers and especially cell phones might be related to the development of a complex cluster of clinical symptoms commonly defined as "text neck syndrome"…

Influence of age, sex, and BMI on waist-to-thigh circumference ratio in children
In adults the distribution of body fat towards the central region seems a good predictor of disease and mortality. Central fat deposition tends to increase with age; sex and obesity further influence this trend. In children the distribution of adiposity to the central region is not well known. Recently, using circumferences of waist and thigh, we computed the percentile curves of the waist to thigh circumference ratio (WTR) from 2858 subjects (14…
