Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "For Kids’ Fracture Pain, Ibuprofen Suffices Giving children extra pain medicine after a broken bone or sprain didn’t improve pain relief compared with giving ibuprofen, Advil or Motrin, alone. The extra pain killer could trigger unpleasant side effects. This from Canada’s University of Alberta pediatricians publishing in JAMA. Their study included nearly 699 children ages 6 through 17 with painful arm or leg injuries. They were divided into 3 groups: ibuprofen alone; ibuprofen plus acetaminophen, Tylenol; and ibuprofen plus hydromorphone, an opioid. Reported pain was assessed at one hour following medication administration. The tabulated data revealed statistically similar pain relief for all 3 groups. However, the children who received the added narcotic suffered a 4-fold higher incidence of side effects including nausea, dizziness, and unwanted sedation. So….when it comes to treating at least this type of pediatric pain, more is not better. References on my website. #ChildHealth #ParentingTips #PainRelief #MedicalResearch #Pediatrics"

👁️💊 An infant in #Thailand developed bright blue #eyes after taking the antiviral favipiravir for #COVID-19.

Doctors believe the drug’s fluorescent metabolites accumulated in the corneas. The effect was temporary, with the infant's natural brown eye color returning 5 days after treatment ended, leaving no permanent damage to his vision.

"In almost every case, the babies’ deaths could have been prevented with a long-standard vitamin K shot. But across the country, families — first in smatterings, now in droves — are declining the single, inexpensive injection given at birth to newborns to help their blood clot."

Very interesting pre-print on C-section delivery and oxytocin and vasopressin.

Why voles?
"The use of voles as subjects here also offers several advantages.
First, voles tolerate room temperature housing well [36], without the metabolic [37,38], autonomic [12,39] and
neuroendocrine [40] consequences faced by mice housed at room temperature. Voles are undomesticated,
which means their OXT and AVP systems have not undergone artificial selection as in mice [41]. "
