Clindamycin seems to be being used more frequently (just an anecdotal observation). The Archivist has always held clindamycin in reserve for careful use as an adjuvant to using β-lactam antibiotics for the more severe group A β-haemolytic streptococcal invasive infections (iGAS) such as necrotising fasciitis. Is there good evidence of a benefit in the use of clindamycin in treating patients with invasive non-group A/B β-haemolytic streptococcal (iNABS) infections? Babiker A et al . [ Lancet Infectious Dis 2021 https://ift.tt/2x0kxcY S1473-3099(20)30523-5] have published the findings of a retrospective multicentre cohort study, using a dataset from adult patients in an electronic health-based from 233 hospitals based in the United States of America. The authors have examined the database for inpatients admitted to hospital in 2000–15, with any clinical cultures positive for β-haemolytic streptococcal bacterium, and who had received β-lactam antibiotics within 3 days either side of cu

Many research networks have well developed sub groups, established to tackle specific problems within their specialty. The Paediatric Emergency Research Canada (PERC) network has a concussion work group and has some produced some really useful long term follow-up data from their Predicting Persistent Postconcussive Problems in Paediatrics prospective, multicenter cohort study. van Ierssel J, et al .

Outcomes were assessed using a standardised 25-question symptom scale derived from the Post-Concussion Symptom Inventory-Parent; school funct

Asthma is the most common chronic condition of childhood. In this review, we discuss an overview of strategies to empower children and young people with asthma. The key aspects of empowerment are to enable shared decision making and self-management, and help children minimise the impact of asthma on their life. The evidence behind these strategies is either sparse or heterogenous, and it is difficult to identify which interventions are most likely to improve clinical outcomes. Wider determinants of health, in high-resource and low-resource settings, can be disempowering for children with asthma. New approaches to technology could help empower young people with asthma and other chronic health conditions. from Archives of Disease in Childhood current issue https://ift.tt/3qEwdhb

Surrogate pregnancies are becoming more common, but the law governing who can give consent following surrogate births is complex. Parental responsibility (PR) may be held by a variety of individuals, depending on the specific circumstances. We conducted a survey of paediatric medical staff within Health Education South West to establish knowledge regarding consent for a baby before a parental or adoption order is obtained. Our results showed that 19% of the 47 respondents answered all scenarios correctly. 43% of respondents knew that the surrogate mother had PR in all scenarios; however, 13% incorrectly assumed that either intended parent always had PR. Knowledge of other individuals who could provide consent in the scenarios was variable. Our survey revealed poor understanding regarding medicolegal aspects of consent in these complex situations, emphasising the need for more specific published guidance for primary and secondary healthcare professionals encountering these babies in t
