Prognosis of newborns with birth asphyxia depends on clinical features of neonatal encephalopathy. The outcome of infants without encephalopathy is excellent. In contrast, neurological outcome of infants with encephalopathy is poor: 40 to 100% of neurodevelopmental disabilities according to the grade of encephalopathy. Prognosis can be more accurately assessed by EEG and MRI. Infants with encephalopathy following birth asphyxia must be referred as soon as possible in centers where neuroprotection by hypothermia is available.

This enabled a gray zone to be defined, with inherent major prognostic uncertainty. In France today, the gray zone corresponds to deliveries occurring at 24 and 25 weeks of postmenstrual age. The management of births occurring below and above the gray zone was described. Withholding intensive care at birth for babies born below or within the gray zone does not mean withholding care but rather providing palliative care to prevent pain and suffering during the time period preceding death. Given the high level of uncertainty, making good decisions within the gray zone ...

The introduction of intensive care may result in long-term survival of many infants without severe disabilities, but it may also result in the survival of severely disabled infants. Conversely, the decision to withhold resuscitation and/or intensive care at birth, which is an option at the margin of viability, implies allowing babies to die, although some of them would have developed normally if they had received resuscitation and/or intensive care. Withhold...

In the pediatric literature, weaning failure rate ranges from 1.4 to 34%. So far, no indices of weaning success have been demonstrated to be sufficiently accurate. The criteria for assessing readiness to wean, which must be screened daily, have neither been validated nor adapted to the pediatric population. The spontaneous breathing test (SBT), the reference screening test for weaning, precedes extubation; it can be achieved with pressure support ventilation or spontaneous breathing (T piece or canopy or flow-inflating bag). A standardized weaning protocol (which can be computer driven) was used in only three pediatri...

When BCG was not mandatory, parental acceptance of an early-targeted vaccine increased, whereas the policy change decreased later vaccination rates within the first 3 months in children whose parents had previously refused. Early BCG vaccination of at-risk newborns in the maternity hospital may prevent a low BCG coverage rate at 3months and subsequent tuberculosis cases in this population.

The practical development of palliative care during the neonatal period is not easy, even though obstetricians and neonatologists have always been aware of the ethical necessity of comfort in the dying newborn. The decision leading to palliative care begins with the recognition of patent or potential unreasonable obstinacy, followed by withdrawing treatment and technical support, and finally a palliative care plan is drawn up with the medical team and the parents.

The pneumococcal origin of community-acquired pneumonia remains difficult to affirm, but high procalcitonin and C-reactive protein blood levels and duration of fever 48h or less after initial antibiotic treatment are excellent predictors of pneumococci. Among 259 patients under 7 years of age hospitalized from 2003 to 2008 for community-acquired pneumonia, 47 met these criteria, including 27 of 141 hospitalized between 2006 (date of vaccine generalization) and 2008.

It can be seen in all types of SLI but preferentially in the mixed forms. The longitudinal systematic evaluation of all the children with or without EA has never been reported in the literature, which confirms that there is no parallel between EEG progression and language development, contrary to Landau-Kleffner's syndrome. Systematic EEG recording is not recommended in SLI. It is indicated in cases of fluctuation or stagnation of language development or if there is a family history of cognitive disorders or epilepsy. Antiepileptic treatment is justified in cases with fluctuation or stagnation in language development after 6 months of progression associated with frequent EA. However, when...

National and international surveys confirm this early onset. Drunkenness, which is the most obvious drinking outcome, seems to rise amongst young adolescents. Consequences of this precocity are considerable. At short-term, drunk teenagers are more frequently victims of accidents. In addition, they are more vulnerable to sexual abuses, as victims but also as perpetrators. At medium- and long-terms, the early development of alcohol use is linked to higher levels of later drinking dependence. Three explanatory ways for this precocity are developed: family's influence, role of advertising and media, and role of peers. When alcohol meets adolescence,...

When difficulties in the development of a child are observed, the assessment of its capacity of non-verbal communication and understanding allows defining the necessary conditions to install an oral language. Secondly, the speech therapist evaluates the level of the language of the child compared to other parts of its development (are the deviations compared to standards, observed using development scales, homogeneous between applications?)...

The bacterial agent was Staphylococcus aureus, which had no resistance or toxin profile. The progression was favorable under intravenous antibiotic therapy and after bilateral sphenoidectomy. This case raises the question of the best therapy for acute bacterial sinusitis in pediatrics and the management of complications.

It specifies the limitations placed on the healthcare team's interventions on imprisoned juveniles. Promoting an individualized prisoner program, as is done in the school context, outlining parental involvement in this program, and withdrawing from the healthcare methodological guide the tasks that are not within the realm of the physician caring for the minor would be measures to ensure good ethical medical practices in prison. These could be applied to French secure training centers and secure children's homes.

The follow-up was normal until elementary school. He had to spend 2 years in 1st grade and exhibited some behavioral troubles. At the age of 9, he was suspected of suffering from dyspraxia and was referred to a pediatrics rehabilitation center. IQ and neuropsychological tests were administered and showed selective autobiographical memory impairment defining developmental amnesia. Despite a typical clinical presentation, brain MRI was normal, including the hippocampal area. This observation underlines the need for a prolonged follow-up until school age to assess the outcome of preterm infants. Otherwise, the evaluation will be limited to motor impairment.

Echocardiography showed pulmonary hypertension. High-frequency oscillations and nitric oxide were ineffective. Respiratory and hemodynamic conditions deteriorated secondarily. The third case received an exchange transfusion without success. All three infants died following multiorgan failure. Malignant pertussis is the leading cause of infectious death in infants less than 2 months of age, treatment is often ineffective, and prevention, targeting the population of young adults, is particularly important.

There is also an additional risk of growth plate damage. Risk factors have been attributed to an increased injury incidence: body weight loss over 5 % or overweight, age and judo experience, and male gender. During competition and training sessions, the evaluation and prevention of these factors could decrease the occurrence of such injuries.

Prematurity apnea occurs in most infants of gestational age at birth less than 33 weeks. It is a developmental disorder which usually reflects a "physiological" immaturity of respiratory control. However, neonatal diseases may be associated and play an additive role, resulting in an increased incidence of apnea. Careful screening should therefore be performed in order to make sure that no other factor than immaturity is involved in the occurrence of apnea. Short apnea (less than 10s, without hypoxemia and bradycardia), due to immaturity, are not clinically relevant. More prolonged apnea, that last for more than 15 or 20s,...

Recent studies have shown that risk factors of cardiovascular diseases appear as soon as in infancy. In many situations, these disorders are programmed in early life during fetal development. These observations have lead to the concept of programming. The first studies on this subject underlined the link between poor fetal growth and the risk of nutritional and metabolic disorders during adulthood. But, it is now evident that excess of fetal growth as it is observed during pregnancy with maternal diabetes leads to the same consequences. The metabolic syndrome or syndrome X is the name...

Dyspraxia, which represents disorders in development and learning movements, within the context of a deficiency in the management of spatial information (in children whose verbal intelligence is spared), is often a severe handicap at school and in social life. Dyspraxia must be distinguished from "common" difficulties of unmotivated children at school, with which it is often confused. Hence, the diagnosis must correspond to rigorous methodology. And one should avoid proposing endless training for the deficient action (writing, getting dressed...); indeed such strategies only lead to short-term 'pseudo' progress, without any long term efficacy on the educational success of these intelligent children.

Those challenges led the French national reference center for streptococci to enhance the epidemiological survey and the characterization of GAS strains, in collaboration with the National Institute for Public Health Surveillance. Active surveillance is of major importance for implementation of therapeutic and prophylactic guidelines and for evaluation of future streptococcal vaccines.

Bone marrow aspiration revealed sideroblastic anemia and vacuolization of erythroblastic precursors. The diagnosis was confirmed by genetic analysis revealing a deletion in the mitochondrial DNA. These two newborns received monthly transfusions. Five other newborns suffering from Pearson syndrome with various clinical symptoms were found in literature. Pearson syndrome, rarely diagnosed in newborns, should be suspected in the presence of macrocytic aregenerative anemia and requires a bone marrow aspirate followed by a genetic analysis from a blood sample.

Its management is not evidenced-based. Conservative therapy is preferred in milder cases, since the outcome is usually favourable within the first 2 years of life. The clinical utility of non-specific treatments (anti-inflammatory agents, bronchodilators, antibiotics, physiotherapy) has not been proven by clinical trials. Treatment of symptomatic cases should be discussed on an individual basis. Airway surgery should be avoided, and non-invasive ventilation may be proposed as a temporary measure. In case of very severe cases, aortopexy, trachostomy or stent placement are the preferred treatments. Regular respiratory monitoring until remission is mandatory....

Simple investigations lead to the diagnosis of central or peripheral hypogonadism and constitutional delay of puberty. In girls, delayed puberty is rare and often organic, and then Turner syndrome should be systematically suspected. In boys, delayed puberty is often constitutional and functional. Treatment is etiologic when possible, hormonal replacement therapy (oestrogen in girls and testosterone in boys) and psychological management.

In 2007, the average age for a first use was 15.1 years. Most teenagers will limit their use to a few experiences or controlled use. However, for those who do become dependent, the lapse between the first use and dependence is brief (approximately 18 months) with an average of 28 months compared to tobacco (3-5 years) and alcohol (5-9 years). In light of this brief delay, it is crucial to quickly recognize adolescents who have problem cannabis use and to educate parents to warning signs and to teach them how to efficiently discuss the subject with their teenager.

Conventional treatment with topical and/or systemic antibiotics was unsuccessful. Flashlamp-pumped pulsed-dye laser (FPDL) could not be used because of the thickness of the lesions. We decided to use beta-blocker therapy (propanolol) for 4 months with a noteworthy efficacy. DISCUSSION: Systemic corticosteroids and FPDL are currently the reference treatment of the superficial hemangioma during infancy, but the head and neck location or complications such as ulceration or the need for surgical embolization require the use of alternative treatments such as the beta-blocker.

The physiological particularities of newborns, and especially premature, reduce the list of used antiseptic in neonatology. The choice of antiseptic in neonates depends on its activity, its presentation and its tolerance. Using a large spectrum antiseptic like iodine and chlorhexidin seems to be the best choice; however the thyroid toxicity of iodine products contraindicates their use in the newborn. The usage of minor antiseptics like hexamidin shows no interest due to their limited spectrum and their long action delay. Using eosin for umbilical cord care is not recommended because it doesn't have any antiseptic activity and...

In both cases, Trichophyton mentagrophytes was involved. This dermatophyte is zoophilic, contrary to the dermatophytes usually involved in tinea capitis, which could explain the poor adaptation of the dermatophyte to the human host, who would therefore react by generating a severe inflammatory reaction. Antifungal drugs are recommended for the treatment of kerions, especially griseofuline for 6 to 8 weeks. The value of oral steroids and surgery continues to be debated.

A real measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) by Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is currently performed to evaluate bone mass in children. However this technique has some limitations. In 2000, the National Institute of Health (NIH) has defined new "quality" criteria for the diagnosis of osteoporosis in addition to a decreased bone mass. Bone strength actually integrates 2 issues: bone density and bone quality (i.e., micro architectural organization, bone turnover, mineralization and micro fractures).

The early recognition of the disorder, as early as 2 years, is an important challenge, because early treatments are more efficient in helping children to develop their adaptation skills, allowing their better integration in the society, with less suffering and a lower level of handicap.

Multiple hemorrhagic lesions seen during a cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan was suggestive of cavernomas. A cerebral MRI scan in the father showed multiple asymptomatic lesions, thus confirming the familial nature. A genetic study carried out on the patient and her father confirmed the presence of a mutation of the KRIT1 gene with an autosomal dominant transmission. In these disorders, an MRI scan in the patient's parents offers great diagnostic advantages. This screening leads to precautionary measures that are e...

Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is mainly characterized by pre- and postnatal stunted growth, neurocognitive disorders, and facial dysmorphism. It compromises the intellectual and behavioral prognosis of the child. Prevention tools exist, through better information of health professionals, for optimal care of high-risk women before, during, and after pregnancy, which would decrease the incidence of SAF in the future.

Children are particularly difficult-to-assess patients. In this area, child psychology can contribute to the development of tools and to improving pain assessment. This paper highlights the relevance of studies on dialog in pain assessment situations and the importance of the specificity of both the patient and his pain. Assessing pain and listening to the patient's complaint means meeting the child in his own world. Nonetheless, it is necessary to use and develop assessment tools that are scientifically validated.

Cannabis has effects that are close to the symptoms of schizophrenia. Abuse and dependence are more frequent in schizophrenic population than in general population. This consumption is a gravity factor in terms of prognosis. It accelerates the first psychotic decompensations. Studies by cohorts of experts allow for the affirmation that cannabis is a risk factor in schizophrenic disorders, with an effect dose and depending, above all in the case of consumption before the age of 15. This observation is in line with the greatest diffusion of cannabinoid receivers in the encephalon of schizophrenic subjects and their role in cerebral maturity during puberty.

Antidepressants are the most important long-term treatment: only fluoxetine has been effective and is authorised in France since August 2006. The risk of suicidality and sexual maturation alteration need to be control. Psychotherapy is needed to involve efficacy and tolerability treatment.

The dermal sinus is an abnormal tract between the skin and underlying neural structures, most often located in the lumbosacral region. It may end blindly in the subcutaneous tissues, or it may extend into the medullary space. The diagnosis should be suspected in patients with other skin findings: localized hypertrichosis, subcutaneous lipomas, hyperpigmented lesions, etc. It must be distinguished from the very frequent coccygeal pits (4% of newborns), which require no treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging should be done every time the diagnosis is suspected. Recurrent bacterial meningitis or meningitis caused by unusual bacteria is frequently associated with dermal sinus.
