Schools are an important setting for infectious disease transmission. Baseline rates of respiratory virus detections and acute respiratory illnesses (ARIs) in schools are lacking and needed to inform transmission risks and prevention strategies. This investigation in our journal Pediatrics sought to determine the incidence of respiratory virus detections and ARIs in pre-kindergarten to 12th-grade students and staff. https://bit.ly/3W61Gun

As more US states legalize recreational cannabis, young children may be uniquely vulnerable to inadvertent cannabis toxicity because of an inability to distinguish cannabis-containing products from food. This Pediatrics Open Science study compared pediatric cannabis exposures from 2018 to 2024 and found an exponential increase in pediatric cannabis exposures. https://bit.ly/47nRmEk

This Pediatrics Open Science study compared age at diagnosis of common aneuploidies by gestational age at birth to determine if prematurity is associated with delayed diagnosis. It looked at neonates with Patau syndrome, Edwards syndrome, or Down syndrome and found that increasing prematurity was associated with increasing age at diagnosis of Down syndrome. https://bit.ly/4h5jpLY

About 5,000 people living with HIV give birth in the United States each year and keeping the HIV viral load under control with early and consistent antiretroviral therapy (ART) is essential to lower the risk of transmission. While current guidelines support vaginal delivery for those with low viral loads on stable ART, this NeoReviews case study underscores the importance of honoring patient experience and autonomy and addressing social factors that can disrupt care and affect outcomes. https://bit.ly/3KLNGDH

Severe acute asthma is often treated in the emergency department with continuously nebulized albuterol. While albuterol is generally well-tolerated, its relationship with nausea or vomiting is not well established. This study examined patients who received continuous albuterol and ondansetron in the emergency department to determine how albuterol was associated with nausea and vomiting. https://bit.ly/43fO1ok
