- Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in children after hematopoietic stem cell and solid organ transplantation: a single-center study. [Journal Article]Arch Pediatr. 2026 Sep 28; 33(8):105613. [Online ahead of print]AP
- CONCLUSIONS: PRES is a rare but severe complication in children after transplantation, with a higher incidence and severity than previously reported. Our findings suggest a key role of endothelial dysfunction. Early recognition of risk factors and careful interpretation of MRI are crucial for timely diagnosis and management.

- Serum IL-17A levels and their association with disease activity in Egyptian children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: A cross-sectional study. [Journal Article]Arch Pediatr. 2026 Sep 25; 33(8):105622. [Online ahead of print]AP
- CONCLUSIONS: Serum IL-17A is significantly elevated in children with oligoarticular and polyarticular JIA and correlates strongly with composite disease activity and systemic inflammation. While these findings support a pathophysiological role for IL-17A-mediated inflammation in JIA, IL-17A serves as a biomarker of disease activity rather than a diagnostic tool, and the incremental clinical utility of routine IL-17A measurement beyond established inflammatory markers remains to be established.

- Changes in physical activity, sedentary behavior and quality of life after an adapted physical activity program in children with asthma: A pilot pre-post observational study. [Journal Article]Arch Pediatr. 2026 Sep 22; 33(8):105621. [Online ahead of print]AP
- CONCLUSIONS: Participation in an APA program integrated within TPE was associated with higher physical activity, lower sedentary behavior, and improved quality of life in children with asthma. These findings support the integration of APA within pediatric asthma management and highlight the importance of promoting PA prescription among healthcare professionals.

- Residual kidney function of Shiga toxin-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome according to kidney replacement therapy: An observational analysis. [Journal Article]Arch Pediatr. 2026 Sep 21; 33(8):105615. [Online ahead of print]AP
- CONCLUSIONS: Our retrospective study showed a higher GFR at one year in children with STEC HUS requiring KRT who underwent PD dialysis compared to CKRT. These results should be considered in light of the study's confounding biases and validated by a prospective randomized study.

- Acute neuro-inflammatory presentation of ATP1A3 variants: Case reports of three patients with different phenotypes. [Journal Article]Arch Pediatr. 2026 Sep 19; 33(8):105616. [Online ahead of print]AP
- CONCLUSIONS: When patients present with a picture of autoimmune encephalitis or polyradiculoneuritis with normal imaging and CSF analysis, and no response to standard anti-inflammatory treatment, a search for ATP1A3 gene mutations should be considered.

- Inter-rater reliability during live pediatric formative Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) in a French University. [Journal Article]Arch Pediatr. 2026 Sep 19; 33(8):105614. [Online ahead of print]AP
- CONCLUSIONS: During live pediatric training OSCE, inter-rater reliability was good regarding clinical skills, and moderate for general skills. Inter-rater variability might be more pronounced for students with lower overall OSCE score. Our study emphasizes the importance of a careful drafting of OSCE cases with precise and clear-cut scoring checklist, especially in stations focusing on very specialized clinical situations.

- Judicial outcomes in non-accidental head injury cases evaluated by the forensic medicine department of Angers University Hospital. [Journal Article]Arch Pediatr. 2026 Sep 19; 33(8):105623. [Online ahead of print]AP
- CONCLUSIONS: The severity of judicial outcomes was not associated with the diagnostic probability of NAHI according to the HAS criteria, suggesting that legal decisions rely on a combination of forensic evidence and broader judicial factors, particularly the identification of the perpetrator. The findings highlight the importance of accurate forensic assessment, especially injury chronology and, when possible, the estimation of the number of shaking episodes, as these elements may be decisive when multiple caregivers are involved.

- CONCLUSIONS: Although psychosocial assessment is recognized as essential, it remains irregularly performed and documented. Implementing validated and structured tools could help standardize practice, improve multidisciplinary communication, and ultimately facilitate the transition of adolescent to adult care.
