TL;DR: Compared to adults with Covid-19, mortality in children with MIS-C is uncommon despite multi-system involvement, very elevated inflammatory markers and need for intensive care support.

TL;DR: Cardiac involvement is common in children with multi-inflammatory syndrome associated with COVID-19 pandemic and a majority of children have significantly raised levels of NT pro-BNP, ferritin, D-dimers and cardiac troponin in addition to high CRP and procalcitonin levels.

TL;DR: A school-aged boy who presented with clinical features suggesting acute appendicitis was thought to have non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, but further imaging demonstrated an inflammatory mass involving the transverse colon raising the suspicion of lymphoma.

TL;DR: Application of intraoperative TPS is feasible and provides a way of objectively recording intraoperative imaging assessment of surgery, and an ‘inadequate’ TPS did not predict mortality but correlated with a longer ventilation time and longer length of stay compared to those with optimal or adequate scores.

TL;DR: The diagnosis of this anatomy in a neonate born at a multidisciplinary centre with a chromosome 8p23.1 microdeletion and severe left atrioventricular valve regurgitation raised many clinical concerns including the insufficiency of the right ventricle to support a biventricular repair.
