| |  Scientists from Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and University College London (UCL) have created the first lab‑grown esophagus - the food pipe - shown to safely replace a full section of the organ and restore normal function, including swallowing, in a growing animal without the need for immunosuppression. | |
|
| |  Artificial intelligence (AI) could help physicians determine if survivors of childhood cancer need extra support - and the more information included in AI prompting, the better its performance. | |
|
| |  For more than a decade, Ukrainian children have grown up with war as a constant backdrop. According to researchers, the psychological consequences are now becoming clear. | |
|
| |  Children living with obesity but showing no signs of metabolic complications still have a significantly increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and abnormal blood lipid levels later in life. | |
|
| |  A team of researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Texas Children's Hospital, and collaborating institutions reveals in the journal Nature a novel mechanism that drives the development of pediatric supratentorial ependymoma (EPN), the third most common pediatric brain tumor. The findings suggest potential new approaches to treat these aggressive and chemo-resistant tumors. | |
|
| |  Dr. Donald Kohn has been developing gene therapies for rare pediatric immune disorders for over 30 years. | |
|
| |  A major new study, led by scientists at University College Dublin and the University of Edinburgh and funded by the St John of God Research Foundation, has found that commonly prescribed attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication in childhood may lower the long‑term risk of developing serious psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia. | |
|
| |  During intensive care after preterm births, babies can experience low oxygen in their tissue and cells-or hypoxia. | |
|
| |  Families are feeling stressed, powerless and 'forever in limbo' as they wait months, or sometimes years, for Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) assessments, according to a new study. | |
|
| |  Recurrent wheezing, a respiratory disorder, is caused by the narrowing of the airways, mainly affecting children aged less than 5 years. | |
|
| |  Technological innovation has always driven surgical progress, and AI now represents the next transformative wave. Machine learning models are now being developed to predict surgical risks, assist in diagnosing rare congenital disorders, analyze imaging data, and anticipate postoperative complications. | |
|
| |  Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy (SBMA) is a rare inherited disease that causes progressive muscle weakness and wasting in men. | |
|
| |  In emergency medicine, triage differentiates patients who require immediate attention from those who can safely wait for care. When it comes to children's mental or behavioral health, however, triage scores were found to be inaccurate in two-thirds of the cases when compared to the level of care the child actually received during their emergency visit, according to a new study published in JAMA Network Open. | |
