Robotic anterior skull base surgery promises to provide greater access to skull base disease, improve oncologic results, reduce morbidity and to reduce the ergonomic burden on the surgeon.

Although transnasal access to the skull base is not possible with the currently available robotic systems, promising technology does exist and is in development. Robotic anterior skull base surgery promises to provide greater access to skull base disease, improve oncologic results, reduce morbidity and to reduce the ergonomic burden on the surgeon.

The aim of the review is to review the recent literature on the use of opioids in post sinus surgery care.

Research regarding the use of opioids in post sinus surgery over the past two years support previous thinking that there is an overprescription of opioids for an operation which is not particularly painful, resulting in the potential for narcotic abuse and misuse.

Large randomized controlled trials with detailed pain recording scoring systems are needed to assess the opioid requirements - if any - after sinus surgery.

With children and adolescents constantly connected to their devices in an ever-changing technological landscape, new and emerging trends in entertainment media have created potential health implications for pediatric patients. The purpose of this review is to provide pediatricians with explanations of specific trends on streaming services, the popular new mobile application TikTok, recent widespread 'Internet Challenges' that include pediatric participants, and new technologies. These emerging trends can pose potential harms to the health and wellbeing of children and adolescents.

Recent reports and news articles have discussed popular technological trends and the adverse effects that can occur. Although technology provides access to information and social connection for youth, it also creates platforms where children can be exposed to disturbing content, peer pressure, cyberbullying, and encouragement to participate in activities that could cause potential physical harm or even death.

Pediatricians need to be aware of trends to best understand the implications of these technologies, especially in clinical practice. Pediatricians play an important role in educating parents and patients about the risks of these trends, in facilitating conversations about related topics including self-esteem, cyberbullying and peer pressure to promote healthy internet use, and providing necessary resources.

Premature Physeal Closure (PPC) is the most common consequence of a mostly posttraumatic, physeal injury. They are of utmost importance because they can significantly alter physeal function and lead to disorders such as limb length discrepancies and angular deformities.

The type of physeal fracture has not demonstrated a solid predictive value in the formation of PPC, especially in the knee where almost any type of fracture can produce it. The detection of physeal damage with imaging tests (simple radiology and MRI) is very accurate; however, their predictive capacity to foretell which injury will generate a physeal bridge is still poor. For this reason, it is not advisable to make surgical decisions at the first medical assessment. Direct surgical management of PPC's (resection-interposition technique) has generally shown high unpredictability. Nevertheless, the latest interposition materials (chondrocytes and mesenchymal stem cells) showed promising results.

PPC is an often devastating consequence of physeal injury and as such deserves further research. To date little is known about etiopathogenesis, risk factors and natural history among other aspects. Until direct surgery offers more consistent results, acute osteotomies and bone distraction for progressive correction continue to be the most widespread treatments for PPCs.

When infants and young children present with suspected physical abuse, it is critical to follow standard guidelines and rule out alternative causes of fracture and haemorrhage. A multidisciplinary team involved in the initial evaluation typically includes paediatrics, radiology, child protective services and/or law enforcement, and in complex cases, haematology, neurology, and genetics. A comprehensive genetics consultation includes review of the history of present illness, birth and past medical history, review of growth curves, family history, physical examination, radiological findings, and when indicated, biochemical and/ or genetic testing.

A number of reports have mischaracterized several genetic disorders as child abuse mimics. Selleckchem ACT001 There is a difference between a differential diagnosis, which includes every condition that can cause a fracture and/or subdural haemorrhage, and a mimic, so called because it can be difficult to differentiate from child abuse. In this review, we discuss the differential diagnosis for infantile fractures and subdural bleeds, highlight cardinal signs and symptoms of genetic disorders, and demonstrate that these genetic disorders can be readily differentiated and diagnosed using a stepwise approach. Genetic disorders rarely, if ever, are truly mimics of child physical abuse.

In cases of suspected child physical abuse, multidisciplinary evaluations by paediatric specialists, keen clinical judgment, complete physical examinations, and judicious testing provides an evidence-based, time tested approach to excluding genetic disorders and diagnosing suspected child physical abuse.
