Short-acting bronchodilators are a class of medications commonly used to treat asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and other respiratory conditions. The use of these medications has evolved over time as we have gained a better understanding of their effectiveness and safety in the pediatric population. This comprehensive review synthesizes the current understanding of short-acting β2-agonists and short-acting anticholinergics in children. It addresses indications, contraindications, safety considerations, and highlights areas where further research is needed to guide the most effective use of short-acting bronchodilators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses the diagnosis of paediatric mild acute Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES). The current diagnostic criteria for FPIES may not accurately diagnose milder cases of the disease. The article proposes new criteria for the diagnosis of paediatric mild acute FPIES. The study retrospectively reviewed cases of paediatric mild acute FPIES and found that the new diagnostic and suspicion criteria were able to identify all 15 cases. The article provides detailed information on the patients' demographics and symptoms. These new diagnostic and suspicion criteria aim to include all mild forms of pediatric acute FPIES and may be useful for community pediatricians, although they have not been prospectively validated and are based on expert opinion.
