Modern views about the various causes of the development of anaphylactic shock in children and adolescents, the classification of anaphylactic shock based on the pathophysiological mechanisms of the development are observed in the survey. The algorithm of the diagnosis of anaphylaxis and anaphylactic shock, the emergency assistance and further management of patients with anaphylactic shock, as well as the issues of its prevention are presented.

 Summary: The lecture covers modern concepts of various causes of cardiac arrhythmias in children and adolescents. The working classification of arrhythmias, based on their pathophysiological mechanisms, is given. The diagnostics of cardiac arrhythmias including clinical criteria, various instrumental and ultrasound methods are presented. The group of life-threatening arrhythmias, which are considered to be one of the main causes of sudden cardiac death, is distinguished. Each type of lifethreatening arrhythmias is defined. Medical and surgical methods of treatment are presented.

AbstractSuggestions for classification of mental disorders of children and adolescents in DSM-V and ICD-11 have been made, which differ strongly from the current descriptive approach of dimensional classification.These suggestions even comprise a dichotomized system for health care as well as for scientific purposes.Nevertheless it is obvious that we are far behind an “etiological” classification, so that trade-offs have necessarily to be made in DSM-V and ICD-11.Appropriate proposals concern the strict separation of disorders that are typical for children and adolescents as well as for adults.Furthermore a differentiation of diagnosis for infants, toddlers and preschool children is required in both classification systems. As far as it is relevant for treatment, combined diagnosis in DSM-V and subthreshold diagnosis as well as coding-possibilities for findings in molecular biology should be permitted.As personality disorders should only be diagnosed after the age of 16, it is recommended to dimensionally classify personality traits that are pathognomonic for specific symptom patterns and of prognostic relevance.DSM-V and ICD-11 should allow age-specific information on axis-IV. The article discusses the general question of how relational disorders respectively disturbances should be classified and include furthermore special recommendations concerning ICD and DSM categories.

Introduction Trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (TACs) are characterized by paroxysmal attacks of unilateral primary headaches associated with ipsilateral craniofacial autonomic symptoms. In this pediatric case series, 13 cases of short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT)/short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache with autonomic symptoms (SUNA), including children ages 3–18 years, are discussed. This paper reviews the application of International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (ICHD-3) criteria especially in children presenting with SUNCT or SUNA. This is the largest pediatric case series of SUNCT/SUNA reported in the literature. Background Trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias are rare in children and adolescents, with SUNCT/SUNA having the least reported cases. We will discuss the application of ICHD-3 criteria to diagnose SUNCT/SUNA in children and review overlapping cases and their response to different treatment options including indomethacin, which is typically reserved for specific subtypes of TACs; for example, paroxysmal hemicrania. Conclusion This case series presents a unique opportunity to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of similar pediatric cases in the future. It helps us to broaden the ICHD-3 criteria to diagnose and treat different overlapping trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia cases in children.

Experience in knee arthroscopy in children with acute knee trauma and sequelae of knee injuries is presented. There were 417 patients, aged 4-18, who were under treatment at the clinic in the period from 1994 to 2002. One hundred forty four patients (34.5%) had injury of articular cartilage. In 12 cases diagnostic and in 132 cases diagnostic and curative arthroscopy was performed. Evident advantages of arthroscopy in diagnosis of intraarticular knee structures injuries, especially cartilagenous tissue were emphasized. Protocol of diagnostic examination including clinical, roentgenologic, ultrasonographic methods as well as CT and MRT (as indicated) is suggested. Indications to knee arthroscopy in children and adolescents are determined. Clinical-arthroscopic classification of knee articular cartilage injuries is given. Due to exact diagnosis and adequate curative tactics total restoration of knee function was achieved in 75% of patients with articular cartilage injuries.
