Summary: Neonatal hypertension is a rare but recognized condition, and it is challenging to identify newborns with hypertension due to the natural variability of blood pressure and the lack of reference data for different gestational ages. Investigation of neonates with hypertension can be difficult due to the diverse causes. The use of pharmacological therapies for neonatal hypertension lacks sufficient data, and empirical management protocols are mostly based on experience and expert opinion.

Summary: Toddler's fracture is a distinct entity characterized by minimally displaced or undisplaced spiral fractures, typically affecting the distal shaft of the tibia with an intact fibula. It can be challenging to diagnose due to the lack of witnessed trauma and normal initial radiographs, requiring consideration of inflicted injury when red flags for child abuse are present.

Summary: This study aims to understand the experiences and preferences of parents and/or children and young people regarding the route of administration of diamorphine for breakthrough pain. The study found that buccal administration was effective and easy, while parents preferred intranasal administration. Parental willingness for trial participation depended on time commitment and pain management stability.
