TL;DR: The results suggest that the low incidence of symptomatic cryptococcal disease in children with AIDS is not a result of lack of exposure to C neoformans, and provide both indirect and direct evidence of C neo formans infection in immunocompetent children.

TL;DR: Most children with an extremity fracture and greater than one-third of children with a severe fracture did not receive pain medications in the emergency department, and both PEM physicians and GEM physicians have similar practices of analgesic administration for fracture reduction, with a notable exception in the types of agents used during procedural sedation.

TL;DR: Point-of-care ultrasonography is highly sensitive for elbow fractures, and a negative ultrasonographic result may reduce the need for radiographs in children with elbow injuries.

TL;DR: Clinicians with focused ultrasound training were able to diagnose skull fractures in children with high specificity in a prospective study in a convenience sample of patients ≤21 years of age who presented to the emergency department with head injuries or suspected skull fractures that required CT scan evaluation.

TL;DR: Bedside ultrasound measurements of the IVC diameter and aortic measurements by BUS are not reliable indicators of intravascular volume (as determined by CVP) in acutely ill children.
