Background And Objectives: Pediatric delirium (PD) is a common but underdiagnosed condition in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), affecting 17-66% of patients. It is associated with prolonged ventilation and hospitalization, increased healthcare costs, and mortality. While nonpharmacological approaches are considered first-line treatments, pharmacological interventions are used in refractory cases despite limited pediatric-specific evidence.

Background: Delirium is an acute condition marked by disturbances in cognition, awareness, and attention, commonly observed in hospitalized patients due to factors such as illness severity and medication. It is particularly prevalent in intensive care unit settings, affecting up to 80% of ventilated patients. This study investigates whether coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) delirium aligns with expectations of non-COVID-19 delirium incidence in other hospitalized patients and identifies unique or common factors contributing to delirium in these groups.

Background and aim of this review: The ongoing opioid epidemic underscores the urgent need for innovative pharmacological and behavioral interventions to mitigate the impact of opioid use disorder (OUD). This review aims to explore theoretical overlaps between the neurobiological mechanisms underlying OUD development and the pharmacodynamic profile of methylphenidate (MPH). Particular attention is given to the potential shared molecular targets, safety considerations, and therapeutic implications of MPH use in this clinical context.
