The Waves

School-age children are not immune to COVID-19 or the pronounced and persistent symptoms associated with a long-COVID diagnosis. Students may present with a variety of symptoms affecting their physical, cognitive, and mental health. The school community should be educated on the school-based interventions and recommendations for creating an individualized safe and successful return to school plan. As we await approval for vaccinations in school-age children younger than 12 years and continue to reposition ourselves to the waves of this pandemic and new variants of the virus, understanding the medical and educational long-term effects on our students may be a long-term need.

Potential Risks

SummaryAnticoagulation during pregnancy is complicated because of potential risks for mother and foetus. Unfractionated or low-molecular-weight heparin is used for most anticoagulant indications. Its efficacy, however, in pregnant women with prosthetic heart valves is questioned, therefore coumarins are preferred for this indication.We studied long-term effects of prenatal coumarin-exposure on growth and on neurological, behavioural and cognitive development in 274 school-age children in comparison with 231 age-matched non-exposed controls. No major abnormalities were found. The exposed children had an increased risk for minor neurological dysfunction and for a low intelligence quotient (IQ below 80). The risk for a combination of two or more (minor) abnormalities was higher for the exposed children, RR = 7.6. We conclude that prenatal exposure to coumarins is associated with an increased risk for disturbances in development in school-age children. However, for the vast majority of children there is no clinical significant effect on growth and long-term development.

A lot has been published on the topic concussion in sports during the last years, conscience was sharpened, much was structured and defined more precisely, help tools were developed and rules changed. This article summarizes the fifth edition of the recently published guidelines of the “International Consensus Conference on Concussion in Sport”. In addition, new findings regarding gender differences and recovery will be presented, as well as the modified “return-to-sport” and the novel “return-to-school” protocols. Despite increased knowledge many questions remain such as the therapy of persistent symptoms or long-term sequelae of recurrent concussions.

The primary goal of this study was to examine young adults’ perspectives about the effects of their food allergies (FAs) on their social lives from school-age to young adulthood. Young adults aged 18–21 ( n = 10) at the University of South Carolina were interviewed. A qualitative descriptive method to find themes and commonalities from transcribed interviews was used for data analysis. Identified themes were (1) feeling different and being isolated, (2) strategies for managing feeling different and being isolated, (3) strategies for managing safety, and (4) acceptance of myself and by others. School-age children attributed the school lunch allergy table as contributing to social isolation. Additionally, participants described feeling different and concerns about safety. Strategies to mitigate those experiences were identified by participants. Implications for children with FAs, their parents, school nurses, and other education and health professionals who work with children are presented.
