Two independent researchers will perform the selection of articles, removal of duplication, and screening by Rayyan QCRI application. Cochrane's RoB 2.0, ROBINS-I, and CASP tools will be used to assess the risk of bias. Meta-analysis, subgroup analyses, and/or descriptive analyses will be carried out based on the data conditions included.
A high-quality synthesis of the available evidences on the epidemiological profile, the clinical and immunological characteristics involved in children, and adolescents diagnosed with COVID-19, as well as the participation of this population in the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 will be provided.
This systematic review has an important relevance in the current context because it has a great potential to help the development of new control and prevention strategies in the pediatric population.

If there is no change in PROM under general anesthesia, contracture, rather than pain, may be the underlying condition. Our goal was to devise a physical examination that would help discriminate between pain and contracture in limited PROM patients with rotator cuff tear.This is a STROBE-compliant cross-sectional study. Patients with rotator cuff tears (N = 28) were scheduled for arthroscopic repair. The main outcome measure was PROM, including flexion, external rotation (ER), and abduction obtained by a blinded examiner before and after the induction of general anesthesia, and the abduction/ER ratio was calculated. In order to perform a subgroup analysis, patients were divided into 2 groups, one where abduction difference after the general anesthesia was 8°≤ (n = 22) and the other 8°> (n = 6).Patients' average age (62.6 ± 7.2 years), symptom duration (13.0 ± 10.0 months), intensity of shoulder pain on a visual analog scale (4.8 ± 2.1), and Constant-Murley functional score (63.4 ± 8.9); the ratio of gender (male female = 1216); and the arthroscopic findings were recorded. According to the correlation analysis, the abduction/ER ratio before general anesthesia was correlated best with the change in PROM after general anesthesia (correlation coefficient -0.74, P .05). The only significant difference between the 2 groups was in the synovitis status (P = .04).Patients with greater abduction/ER ratio before anesthesia exhibited fewer PROM changes after anesthesia. The abduction/ER ratio was strongly and inversely correlated with PROM changes, allowing physicians to choose an appropriate treatment for limited PROM in patients with rotator cuff tears.Prior evidence suggested that inflammation and inflammatory cytokines polymorphisms might be essential in the development of coronary heart disease (CHD) and cognitive decline. The following study investigated the associations between interleukin-35 (IL-35) polymorphisms and cognitive decline in CHD patients over a 2-year period.CHD patients were enrolled between January 2015 and January 2016. Cognitive function, including memory, orientation, verbal and attention were assessed using Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status-Modified (TICS-m) during a 2-year follow-up. selleck inhibitor Genotypes of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including rs2243115, rs568408, rs582054, rs583911, rs428253, rs4740 and rs393581 of IL-35 were examined by MassArray (Sequenom). The differences of TICS-m score between 2-year interval were used to estimate the cognitive decline; linear regression model was used to analyze the association between IL-35 polymorphisms and cognitive decline in CHD patients after a 2-year follow-up.The mean agpolymorphisms in cognitive decline among CHD patients.
To perform a cost-error analysis based on a quasi-experimental pre-post study of the preanalytical errors in 2 hospital laboratories. The real cost and theoretical cost are defined as the cost resulting from errors with or without the training intervention. The real impact associated to the training program was estimated, calculated as the total associated to the preanalytical errors cost difference. The costs were measured using Andalusian Public Health Service fees. Cost analysis of an educational intervention presented in a previous study from 2017. Preanalytical errors were detected in the laboratories of the University Hospital Virgen de la Victoria (Málaga, Spain) and in the University Hospital Juan Ramón Jiménez (Huelva, Spain).
The founded errors were divided into blood and urine samples. Univariate sensitivity analysis was used to assess how parameter uncertainty impacted on overall results. Variations of parameters between 0% and 5% were substituted into the base case.
The real impact associated with educational intervention in LAB1 was an increase of &OV0556;16,961.378, and the expected impact was an increase &OV0556;78,745.27 (difference of &OV0556;61,783.9). In LAB2, the real impact in the same period amounted to &OV0556;260,195.37, and the expected impact was &OV0556;193,905.83 (difference of -&OV0556;66,289.54). The results were different in the 2 laboratories, proving the intervention in only one of them to be more effective.
Costs analysis determined that this training intervention can provide saves in the costs, as the effectiveness of the educational sessions in reducing preanalytical errors currently results in a significant decrease of the costs associated with these errors.

Foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a complex malformative disease caused by the teratogenic effect of alcohol consumed during pregnancy. Mothers are frequently reluctant to admit alcohol consumption during pregnancy. During infancy and particularly during neonatal period, differential diagnosis is difficult.
This case is represented by an Italian neonate boy small for gestational age, born by caesarean section at a gestational age of 37 weeks + 6 days by neglect and single-parent pregnancy. On physical examination, he presented particular facial features microcephaly, epicanthal folds, flat midface, low nasal bridge, indistinct philtrum, and thin upper lip; moreover, examination revealed a macro-penis and recurvation without evidence of glans.
Echocardiogram showed an inter-ventricular defect of medium-muscular type and brain magnetic resonance imaging showed asymmetry of the cerebral hemispheres with hypoplasia of the left cerebral hemisphere, dilatation of the left ventricle, cerebrospinal fluid cavity, and porencephaly.
