INTRODUCTION: Chest drains are often a great source of pain and anxiety in paediatric patients. While there is growing evidence to support the selective omission of chest drains after thorascopic lung resection in children, the safety of this practice following open lung resection has yet to be evaluated. Chest drains are not routinely placed at our institution. We therefore aimed to describe our experience of selective chest drain placement in children undergoing open lung resection, and report the safety and complication profile of this practice...

BACKGROUND: Children who experience chest discomfort, palpitations, vasovagal syncope, and underlying heart disease often present a complex clinical picture. Not only are they dealing with potential cardiac issues, but they may also exhibit behavioral problems that can complicate the diagnostic and treatment process. Moreover, parental acceptance or rejection can significantly influence the child's well-being and medical outcomes in such cases. This study aims to explore the comorbidity of behavioral problems and parental acceptance-rejection in children diagnosed with these cardiac symptoms and underlying heart disease...

BACKGROUND: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is associated with transient ischemia attack (TIA) or stroke, paradoxical embolism, and migraines. PFO closure decreases the recurrent incidence of cerebral ischemic events and reduces the incidence of syncope in adults. However, whether PFO is associated with syncope in pediatric patients has not been investigated. METHODS: 1001 pediatric patients (aged 4 to 17 years, mean age 10.31 ± 2.61 years, 519 males) who complained of unexplained syncope, palpitation, headache, dizziness and chest pain and were hospitalized in the Syncope Ward, The Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University between January 2013 and April 2022 were recruited...
