Managing obesity in children and young adults continues to be a major challenge. It requires a large multi disciplinary team at the patient and family level and major public health and political drivers at another. There is a compendium of drugs that have been studied as potential enhancers of weight loss. The Archivist has never really been impressed by the quick fix concept of a tablet for weight loss. It is clear that weight loss is a complex process involving physical, psychosocial and behavioural aspects. Bariatric surgery seems to have the most compelling results but this is only currently recommended after other approaches have failed. There are at least 15 drugs types that have been studied as potential weight loss adjuvants. Frelut M-L et al . [ https://ift.tt/2Z4Yq4H ] have a clear description of the different classes. Most of the studies have been completed in adults with obesity. Liraglutide is... from Archives of Disease in Childhood current issue https://ift.tt/37HHsNm

Congenital muscular dystrophies and myopathies, limb girdle muscular dystrophies, congenital myasthenic syndromes, hereditary neuropathies, and mitochondrial myopathies can often have similar phenotypes. Historically, certainly when the Archivist was training, histology and neurophysiology were the first line investigations. Why do my neurology colleagues delay in organising the muscle biopsy to make the diagnosis? In 2020, next generation sequencing (NGS) is commonly used as one of the first diagnostic modalities available for the neuromuscular disease. Thompson R et al [ The Lancet Neurology 2020;19(6): 522–532. https://ift.tt/2ASnYtp ] has published a fantastic review on the current advances in the diagnosis of inherited neuromuscular diseases and implications for therapy development. This has answered my question and is a great summary of the science and the art of making a diagnosis in the ‘floppy hypotonic baby.’ In the last 10 years, the advances in DNA sequencing technologie

Appropriate measurement of emotional health by all those working with children and young people is an increasing focus for professional practice. Most of the tools used for assessment or self-assessment of emotional health were designed in the mid-20th century using language and technology derived from pen and paper written texts. However, are they fit for purpose in an age of pervasive computing with increasingly rich audiovisual media devices being in the hands of young people? This thought piece explores how the increased use of visual imagery, especially forms that can be viewed or created on digital devices, might provide a way forward for more effective measuring of emotional health, including smiley faces, other emojis and other potential forms of visual imagery. The authors bring together perspectives from healthcare, counselling, youth advocacy, academic research, primary care and school-based mental health support to explore these issues. from Archives of Disease in Childh

On 20 February 2020, so-called Italian Patient 1 was admitted to the intensive care unit of his local hospital due to a deteriorating clinical condition from SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 infection. In Italy, COVID-19 originated from a handful of small towns in northern Italy that were swiftly placed into lockdown. Lockdown of Milan, Venice, Rimini and their provinces and neighbouring towns and cities followed on 8 March and the whole of Italy on 9 March, when the ‘#stayhome’ (#iostoacasa) executive order was issued. This order remained in place until after Easter, with all public gatherings banned and travel only allowed for ‘urgent, verifiable work situations and emergencies or health reasons’. As of 30 March, 101 739 COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in Italy. This number includes the deceased (n=11 591) as well as those who have recovered (n=14 620). These cases have been identified through 477 359 tests on people experiencing suspicious symptoms, the most... from Archives of Disease in
