Objective: The purpose of this article is to review the neuroimaging findings of intradural extramedullary spinal tumors in the pediatric and adolescent population. The differential diagnosis for lesions in this location is limited and can be further narrowed with knowledge of specific imaging characteristics.
Conclusion: This article reviews the radiologic and pathologic findings of pediatric and adolescent intradural extramedullary neoplasms. After completing this article, the reader should have an improved understanding of the types of neoplastic processes that involve the extramedullary intradural compartment of the spine in the pediatric and adolescent age groups and should be able to narrow their differential diagnosis according to imaging findings.

Aim: Globally, tuberculosis incidence shows notable sex disparity, with higher rates observed in males. While this pattern is well documented in adults from high-incidence countries, the influence of sex on tuberculosis incidence in children and adolescents, particularly in low-incidence settings, remains unclear. This study investigated sex-specific tuberculosis incidence rates across all age groups, focusing on adolescents, in a low-incidence country.

Background: Changes to the calculation of the Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) have lowered the KDPI of hepatitis C (HCV+) donor kidneys; therefore, increasing the proportion of pediatric-prioritized kidneys that are HCV+. We aimed to study consent rates for HCV+ kidneys among pediatric kidney transplant candidates.
Methods: We identified pediatric candidates waitlisted from 2019 to 2024 and excluded those who received a living donor transplant.

Aim: To understand communication about sexuality for adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) and complex communication needs.
Method: We systematically searched primary research on adolescents aged 10 to 24 years with CP and/or complex communication needs. We coded the primary evidence against themes derived from a theoretical framework analysis.

Background: Current management of pediatric cutaneous abscesses involves either spontaneous healing by secondary intention or suturing through tertiary intention, which are often lengthy processes that cause discomfort and distress among children. As it is noninvasive and simple, a novel zipper device is widely used for the primary wound closure of surgical incisions.
Objective: To describe the effectiveness of novel zipper device use for pediatric cutaneous abscess wound closure in an outpatient context.

Purpose: This study aimed to describe the structure, patient characteristics, and preliminary clinical outcomes of a dedicated interdisciplinary outpatient clinic for paediatric chronic and complex pain in Italy, with a focus on the feasibility of implementing a biopsychosocial care model.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of all patients referred to the Paediatric Specialised Pain Clinic of the University of Padua between January 2023 and May 2024. Data on demographics, clinical diagnoses, pain characteristics, treatments, and follow-up outcomes were collected.
