Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to report the natural history of paediatric trigger thumbs, determining the rate and factors predictive of spontaneous resolution. A total of 62 patients presenting with 79 thumbs locked in flexion were observed for a mean of 4.2 years. The median age at presentation was 20.5 months. The spontaneous resolution rate was 37% at 5 years and 50% at 8 years of follow-up. Of the thumbs, 27% had undergone surgery at 5 years and 48% at 8 years. Thumbs that spontaneously resolved did so at a mean of 3.4 years. Thumbs presenting with an interphalangeal joint angle of less than 30° were likely to resolve spontaneously, with a sensitivity of 0.50 and specificity of 0.82. It is reasonable to offer observation alone for 4 to 5 years as the first line of management for paediatric trigger thumb.: III.

The Risk of Breakthrough Cardiac Events Associated With Psychiatric Medications in Patients With Diagnosed and Clinically Treated Long QT Syndrome.

Background: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a potentially life-threatening genetic heart disease. Because many psychiatric medications have QT-prolonging potential, there is hesitation when prescribing them to LQTS patients with concomitant psychiatric disorders, which may lead to suboptimal mental health care.
Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the incidence of breakthrough cardiac events (BCEs) in patients with diagnosed and clinically treated LQTS on QT-prolonging psychiatric medications.

Cofactors are external factors that can lower the threshold dose of an allergen and amplify the severity of allergic reactions, turning mild or moderate responses into severe anaphylaxis. These include exercise, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), alcohol, menstruation, and infections. Initially described in relation to food allergens and physical activity or NSAIDs, these reactions have been labeled under various terms, such as food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA), wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA), and food-dependent NSAID-induced anaphylaxis (FDNIA).

Background: Invasive dental procedures (IDPs) may trigger infective endocarditis (IE) in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). However, data quantifying this risk remain limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between IDPs and the risk of IE in CHD.

Introduction: Impacts of climate change on human health receive increasing attention. However, the connections of climate change with well-being and mental health are still poorly understood.
Objective: As part of the Horizon Europe project TRIGGER, we aim to deepen the understanding of the relationships between climate change and human mental health and well-being in Europe by focusing on environmental and socio-individual determinants.

Asthma affects approximately 25 million people in the United States, with respiratory viruses playing a significant role in both the onset and exacerbations of the condition. Although rhinovirus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are the most well-known triggers, other iratory viruses playing a significant role in both the on, human parainfluenza virus, human bocavirus, enterovirus D68, influenza, and SARS-CoV-2 are increasingly recognized for their significant impact on asthma. These viruses contribute to both the development of asthma and exacerbations by inducing airway inflammation, disrupting epithelial barriers, and skewing immune responses-particularly toward type 2 inflammation.
