Objective: The present study aims to evaluate coronavirus shedding in the tears of asymptomatic pediatric COVID-19 positive patients. Methods: A prospective interventional study that included a total of 145 pediatric asymptomatic COVID-19 patients hospitalized from 17th May 2020 to 16th July 2020 in Sohag Tropical Hospital. On admission, all of them were COVID-19 positive detected through nasopharyngeal swab. They were in intimate contact with positive symptomatic COVID-19 patients before testing and admission. Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was done for tears samples at an interval of 5 days after admission and twice before discharge. Results: Of the 145 asymptomatic pediatric COVID-19 positive patients, no one showed ocular or systemic manifestations. They were silent carriers. Ten were positive for tears sample on admission. They became negative for nasopharyngeal and tear samples before discharge. Conclusion: Pediatric positive COVID-19 patients can shed coronavirus through their tears. Even among asymptomatic patients, transmission through tears is possible.

Study Population

We conducted a prospective interventional study to evaluate the role of endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy in children. Our study population was made up of 20 patients—18 boys and 2 girls, aged 2 to 12 years (mean: 5.3)—who presented with signs and symptoms suggestive of nasolacrimal duct blockage that was refractory to conventional medical treatment. In all cases, blockage was confirmed by nasolacrimal duct syringing that demonstrated regurgitation from the opposite punctum. The primary outcome measures for success were resolution of symptoms and duct patency on lacrimal irrigation. At 6 months, 17 patients (85%) experienced complete symptomatic relief, 1 (5%) had partial relief, and 2 (10%) reported no relief. Moreover, the nasolacrimal duct was patent in 17 patients, partially patent in 2, and blocked in 1. We conclude that endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy is a safe and effective procedure in children with nasolacrimal duct blockage when medical therapy and probing have been unsuccessful.

Background: Rate of non-adherence to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in children is about 33%. Engaging clinical pharmacists in the management of patients has proved to increase adherence to medications which will improve the outcomes of treatment. Objectives: To investigate the effect of a clinical pharmacist-led educational tool on the adherence to AEDs in pediatric patients with epilepsy. Secondary outcomes include effectiveness and safety of AEDs, satisfaction with information about AEDs provided to the caregivers, and patients quality of life (QoL). Methods: This was an interventional study where pediatric patients were randomly assigned to the intervention (n=41) or the control (n=40) group. A 30-minute clinical pharmacist-led educational interview to the parent/caregiver was provided to the intervention group as add-on to standard medical care received by the control group. Outcomes were measured at baseline and after eight-week follow-up. Results: The intervention group had an increase in mean adherence score from 6 ± 1.09 at baseline to 7.6 ± 0.9 at follow up (P-value < 0.001), while the control group had no significant change (P-value > 0.05), the difference between the two groups at follow-up was significant (P-value <0.0001). No significant difference was observed between groups at follow up with regard to effectiveness (P- value > 0.05), and safety (P-value=0.08). While higher satisfaction with information (P-value <0.0001), and higher QoL (P-value <0.05) was observed in the intervention group. There was a significant positive correlation between satisfaction and adherence (r=0.682, P-value < 0.0001), adherence and QoL (r=0.323, P-value < 0.01), satisfaction and QoL (r=0.298, P-value < 0.05). While, satisfaction and safety, safety and QoL correlated significantly and negatively (r=-0.263, P-value < 0.05 and r=-0.782, P-value < 0.0001, respectively) Conclusion: Clinical pharmacist-led educational tool had a positive outcome on pediatric patients with epilepsy with regard to adherence, effectiveness, safety, satisfaction with information about AEDs, and QoL.

Balance Problems

This article illustrates the potential of placing audiology services in a family physician’s practice setting to increase referrals of geriatric and pediatric patients to audiologists. The primary focus of family practice physicians is the diagnosis/intervention of critical systemic disorders (e.g., cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer). Hence concurrent hearing/balance disorders are likely to be overshadowed in such patients. If audiologists get referrals from these physicians and have direct access to diagnose and manage concurrent hearing/balance problems in these patients, successful audiology practice patterns will emerge, and there will be increased visibility and profitability of audiological services. As a direct consequence, audiological services will move into the mainstream of healthcare delivery, and the profession of audiology will move further towards its goals of early detection and intervention for hearing and balance problems in geriatric and pediatric populations.
