TL;DR: Evaluated randomised controlled trials of intravenous immunoglobulin to treat Kawasaki disease in children showed a significant decrease in new coronary artery abnormalities (CAAs) in favour of IVIG, and children fulfilling the diagnostic criteria for Kaw Osaka disease should be treated with IVIG within 10 days of onset of symptoms.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the incidence of Type 2 diabetes in children under 17 years of age and its relationship to increasing childhood obesity in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland (ROI).

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic literature review was conducted to identify published articles reporting interventions; 28 studies were found to be relevant; the main interventions found were computerised physician order entry (CPOE) and computer-aided prescribing.

TL;DR: Until good quality RCTs are carried out, there is insufficient evidence to indicate whether children with Kawasaki disease should continue to receive salicylate as part of their treatment regimen.

TL;DR: It is likely that there is an opportunity to improve the efficiency of the ROP screening program, and screening by specialist nurses trained in image capture and interpretation using portable digital cameras is a cost-effective alternative to the current program of direct visualization by ophthalmologists.
