Article Abstract
Objective: We examined the association between the number, magnitude, and frequency of febrile episodes during the 0 to 4 years of life and subsequent diagnosis of ADHD.
Methods: This population-based case-control study in an Israeli HMO, Leumit Health Services (LHS), uses a database for all LHS members aged 5 to 18 years between 1/1/2002 and 1/30/2022. The number and magnitude of measured fever episodes during the 0 to 4 years were recorded in individuals with ADHD ( = 18,558) and individually matched non-ADHD controls in a 1:2 ratio ( = 37,116).
Results: A significant, independent association was found between the number and magnitude of febrile episodes during the 0 to 4 years and the probability of a later diagnosis of ADHD. Children who never had a measured temperature >37.5°C had a significantly lower rate of ADHD (OR = 0.834, 95% CI [0.802, 0.866], < .0001).
Conclusions: Febrile episodes during 0 to 4 years are associated with a significantly increased rate of a later diagnosis of ADHD in a doseresponse relationship.

Delayed Posthypoxic Leukoencephalopathy in a Catatonic-Appearing Patient: A Case Report.
Case Rep Psychiatry

Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine, Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine, Huntington, West Virginia, USA.
Delayed posthypoxic leukoencephalopathy (DPHL) is a rare diagnosis that may present similarly to other more common neurological conditions, such as catatonia. While often seen with carbon-monoxide poisoning, it can also be due to anoxia due to other causes, such as drug overdose or cardiac arrest. Due to the delayed nature of its symptoms and overlap with other conditions, it can be initially misdiagnosed.

Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is a life-sustaining therapy traditionally used as a bridge to enteral autonomy or intestinal transplantation. Increasingly, it is used for intractable feeding intolerance (IFI), which can occur near the end of life (EOL) in children with severe neurological impairment (SNI). In these cases, HPN use differs from its historical role and requires tailored outpatient planning.

Hodgkin's lymphoma usually manifests with symptoms such as enlarged peripheral lymph nodes, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. It's the third most common pediatric cancer and includes two main types. Here, we describe a case of a 17-year-old boy, whose one of the first signs of Hodgkin's lymphoma was cardiac tamponade.

(GBS) is a rare cause of meningitis in healthy adults. We report the case of a healthy 33-year-old man with acute GBS meningitis who experienced relapsed high-grade fever and increased intracranial pressure following completing intravenous antibiotics. A short course of corticosteroids, along with additional antibiotics, improved the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) profile, and no further complications occurred after the recurrent episodes.

Background: Although post-COVID symptoms have been documented in the literature, the risk factors and time required for full recovery remain unclear. We conducted a retrospective analysis of medical records of COVID-19 patients to investigate the prevalence of symptoms after an acute episode of COVID-19 and the risk factors for persistence of symptoms.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study analysis examined hospital records of post-COVID individuals with previously confirmed or probable SARS-CoV-2 infection and endurring symptom continuation for at least 3 months post-infection or presenting new symptoms persisting for at least 2 months.
