Article Abstract
There has been a significant increase in the past few decades in the number of children receiving noninvasive positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy at home. At present, PAP therapy can be successfully used in children of all ages, for a variety of indications. Data acquired from PAP devices is clinically useful, providing objective information regarding adherence, leak, and efficacy of PAP therapy. However, guidelines outlining a standardized approach to interpretation of PAP device data in pediatrics is currently lacking. Given the rapidly expanding use of PAP therapy in pediatric practice, we aim to provide an overview of the interpretation of data reports, otherwise called "data downloads," from PAP devices and illustrate how they can be used to guide clinical care.

Telemedicine (TM) as a means of remote patient-physician interaction is gaining popularity in nearly every field, and (respiratory) sleep medicine is no exception. Because obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a chronic condition, and requires a continuous treatment and monitoring of therapy success, telematic communications could be useful to establish diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. This Statement summarises the evidence and efficacy of TM options in OSA.

Importance: Postoperative antimicrobial prophylaxis (PAP) is frequently used following pectus excavatum repair and accounts for the highest relative burden of potentially avoidable postoperative antibiotic days among pediatric general surgical procedures.
Objective: To evaluate the association of postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis with postoperative rates of surgical site infections, reoperation, and readmission in children undergoing pectus excavatum repair who did and did not receive postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study included children aged younger than 18 years undergoing pectus excavatum repair from January 2021 to December 2023 at 141 hospitals participating in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program-Pediatric.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare and fatal cardiovascular disease characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling, leading to a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP). Elevated PAP induces right ventricular hypertrophy and eventually progresses to right heart failure. Pulmonary vascular remodeling is primarily caused by the excessive proliferation and migration of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) in the medial layer.

While many European countries have made significant progress in reducing incidence and mortality, Romania continues to report the highest rates within the European Union. This narrative review synthesized data from PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar to evaluate cervical cancer screening policies across Europe, with a particular focus on Romania.

Recent analyses argue that MHT risks are small. These analyses report intention-to-treat (ITT) effects, ignoring the fact that many women assigned intervention were non-adherent, while many women assigned control initiated treatment.
