This study aimed to assess the impact of a video-based interactive guidance (VIG) training program on parents’ anxiety, depression levels, coping styles, and interactions with their infants. The sample comprised eight children aged 24-40 months years diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and/or developmental delay. After the diagnostic process, the parents participated in a 4-session VIG parenting program. Pre- and post-implementation comparisons were made on various variables. Data were collected from mothers using sociodemographic forms, Beck Depression Inventory, State Trait Anxiety Inventory, The Ways of Coping Inventory, parenting attitudes styles, and Crowell procedure (PIR-GAS) scores. Our findings revealed that following VIG, the quality of parent-child relationships improved significantly compared with earlier assessments, as observed through PIR-GAS evaluations. Moreover, there was a notable decrease in ineffective coping styles among parents. The VIG outlined in this study proved to be a highly successful psychological therapy method for children and preschoolers. However, while these results are significant, evidence supporting this program’s effectiveness for mothers and children in early childhood is limited, emphasizing the need for further research.

Many healthcare systems overlook the importance of enrolling a child life specialist (CLS) on board, possibly due to the lack ofknowledge and awareness on the impact they might yield. This study highlights the essential contributions of CLS in improving pediatric oncology healthcare experiences. A thorough search of numerous databases was performed to identify English-language publications between 2005 and 2024, using a variety of study methods to establish a diverse evidence base. CLSs offer emotional support, educate patients and their families, implement distraction techniques, and collaborate with healthcare personnel to assist patients throughout their treatment journey. They also aid in providing adequate knowledge to patients and their families regarding medical procedures and treatment outcomes. Hence, CLSs play a vital role to play in the care of pediatric hematology oncology patients. A comprehensive interdisciplinary approach is needed to extend the role of CLS and ensure that every child receives the support and care they deserve.

Although rare in childhood, hyperthyroidism is diagnosed by suppressed serum thyrotropin (TSH) levels and increased levels of free triiodothyronin (fT3) and free thyroxine (fT4) in addition to history and physical examination findings. In this study, we aimed to investigate the causes of hyperthyroidism and the clinical features of the disease in children and to evaluate the treatment. A total of 39 patients with hyperthyroidism diagnosed between 2010 and 2019 in the pediatric endocrinology department were included in the study.Thirty-one (79.5%) patients were female, and the mean age of admission was 14.4 (4.3-17.5) years. Of the cases, 33 (84.6%) were diagnosed with Graves’ diseases and 6 (16.7%) with Hashimoto thyroiditis. The most frequent complaints of patients diagnosed with hyperthyroidism were irritability (24, 61.5%), palpitation (22, 56.9%), and sweating (21, 53.8%). The most frequent findings were goiter in 31 (79.5%) patients and tachycardia in 27 (69.2%) patients. Serum TSH levels were suppressed in all patients, fT3 levels were increased in 94.4% of them, and fT4 levels were increased in 80.5% of them. In patients with Graves’ disease, TSH receptor antagonist was positive in 31 (93.9%) cases, and at least one of the thyroid autoantibodies was positive in all patients. Antithyroid drug treatment was initiated in all patients; 35 of them received methimazole and 4 of them received propylthiouracil. Radioactive iodine treatment was applied to three patients, and two patients were treated surgically who did not respond to antithyroid drug treatment. Antithyroid drug adverse effects were observed in 7 (21.2%) patients, requiring drug discontinuation in 1 patient. Although hyperthyroidism is rare in childhood, its treatment is difficult and requires close follow-up. Treatment options are different for adult patients. There is a need for multicenter studies to evaluate treatment efficacy and long-term outcomes in children.

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a chronic progressive steno-occlusive disease of the intracranial arterial vessels and their branches characterized by puff smoke appearance on angiography. Multifocal neurological insults and deficits are commonly observed in children with MMD. A 7-year-old boy presented with multiple episodes of transient hemiparesis preceded by headache, vomiting, and visual auras was initially labeled as sporadic hemiplegic migraine according to the International Headache Society criteria. However, the rare association of hemiplegic migraine with MMD compelled us to perform magnetic resonance imaging and digital subtraction angiography, which revealed MMD as the underlying cause for the alternating hemiplegia and headaches in the child.
