TL;DR: In this article, a multi-institutional point prevalence study was conducted to determine prevalence of delirium in critically ill children and explore associated risk factors, including age less than 2 years, mechanical ventilation, benzodiazepines, narcotics, use of physical restraints, and exposure to vasopressors and antiepileptics.

TL;DR: The findings highlight the need for systematic design of rehabilitation interventions for all critically ill children at risk of functional impairments, and younger children, females, and patients with higher baseline function less commonly receive rehabilitation in U.S. PICUs, and early rehabilitation consultation is infrequent.

TL;DR: Early clinical posttraumatic seizures occurred frequently in children with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury despite seizure prophylaxis with levetiracetam, and younger children and those with abusive head trauma were at increased risk of seizures.

TL;DR: Noninvasive brain stimulation may serve as a tool for pediatric neurorehabilitation, but many gaps in knowledge must be filled before NIBS can be adopted as a clinical intervention.

TL;DR: PCAIS is less common than ACAIS in both neonates and children and children with PCAIS are older and have a higher rate of CCAD, lower clinical stroke severity, and better outcome than children with ACAIS.
