Ranitidine is currently in very short supply both in the UK and around the world. Major manufacturers have undertaken a product recall, and new stock is not being released to the market. Despite the sudden shortage of ranitidine occurring from mid-October, shortly before the previous Brexit deadline, this situation is not related to the UK’s relationship with the EU. Rather, this situation has arisen because of concerns over potentially carcinogenic impurities within the medication and affects most brands from most manufacturers. The issues began after a review by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) identified that some ranitidine brands were found to contain low levels of the nitrosamine impurity called N -nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). NDMA is classified as a probable human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the specialised cancer agency of WHO.

Hypocalcaemia is a common clinical scenario in children with a range of aetiological causes. It will often present with common symptoms but may occasionally be identified in an asymptomatic child. An understanding of the physiological regulation of plasma calcium is important in understanding the potential cause of hypocalcaemia and its appropriate management. The age of presentation will influence the likely differential diagnosis. We have presented a stepwise approach to the investigation of hypocalcaemia dependent on the circulating serum parathyroid hormone level at the time of presentation. The acute and long-term management of the underlying condition is also reviewed. from Archives of Disease in Childhood current issue https://ift.tt/3baMD9i

Professor David Sanders died in August 2019. He leaves a long legacy of analysis and teaching on global child health and public health particularly in relation to poverty and the roots of ill health, and how to tackle them. Sanders believed that the determinants of health lay in the social conditions of the population and that these had to be improved by social change and working at the grass roots rather than by top-down medical treatment with drugs; he was a strong proponent of primary healthcare as originally established by WHO and supported the appointment of community health workers who would be responsible to the local community. His work is covered in this article through a review of significant books of which the best known is The Struggle for Health and his research in the field. from Archives of Disease in Childhood current issue https://ift.tt/3bdy7xh
