Things about Gastrostomy Tubes...

This was a retrospective cohort study comparing complications and outcomes between different low-profile non-balloon GTs at a pediatric tertiary care center over 10 years.

Things about end of life care...

A new NICE guideline covers the planning and management of end of life and palliative care in for infants, children and young people (aged 0–17 years) with life-limiting conditions. It aims to involve children, young people and their families in decisions about their care, and improve the support that is available to them throughout their lives. The guideline does not cover children and young people without a life-limiting condition who die unexpectedly (for example, accidental death).

Things about migraine...

It is sometimes assumed that children and adolescents with migraine have a psychiatric or behavioral comorbidity, a belief that can be stigmatizing. This review examines the recent literature addressing this area to determine if pediatric and adolescent migraineurs are at increased risk for psychiatric comorbidity and to discuss management strategies.
