    Abstract Background: Rhabdomyolysis can occur secondary to infections, trauma, or myotoxic substances. Rhabdomyolysis secondary to autoimmune myositis occurs rarely. Distinguishing autoimmune rhabdomyolysis from rhabdomyolysis secondary to other causes is paramount in considering the long-term management of autoimmune rhabdomyolysis. It is further important to continue close follow-up and further testing to completely understand the extent of this disease as diagnoses may be ever-changing.
    Case presentation: A previously healthy female presented to the hospital with myalgias and myoglobinuria following a respiratory infection treated with azithromycin and promethazine. Labs demonstrating elevated creatine kinase (CK) prompted treatment for rhabdomyolysis and rheumatology consultation. The patient was given 3 l of intravenous (IV) 0.9% sodium chloride in the Emergency Department. Upon admission, the patient was placed on a continuous IV drip of 0.9% sodium chloride running at 300 cc/hour for all 8 days of her hospital admission. The rheumatology autoantibody panel pointed towards autoimmune myositis as a potential cause of her rhabdomyolysis. The patient was discharged to follow up with rheumatology for further testing.
    Conclusion: Autoimmune myositis, although less common than other etiologies of rhabdomyolysis, is important to consider as the long-term management of autoimmune myositis includes the use of immunosuppressants, antimalarials, or IV immunoglobulins, which may be inappropriate for other etiologies of rhabdomyolysis.

    Abstract Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma are rare in children, at only 1 in every 50,000 cases. Even though some cases are sporadic, they have been connected to syndromes such as von Hippel-Lindau, multiple endocrine neoplasia types IIa and IIb, neurofibromatosis type 1, and hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma syndromes. A genetic mutation causes around 60% of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas in children under 18.

    Abstract Background: Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic has put children at an increased risk of neglect, violence and other human rights violations. Despite growing evidence of its impact on child protective services, there has been a dearth of research from low- and middle-income countries.
    Objective: This cross-sectional qualitative study explored service providers' and policymakers' views and experiences of children's protection, in real-time, in the last quarter of 2020.
    Methods: A smartphone app-based survey containing both open- and closed-ended questions was used. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative content analysis.
    Participants and setting: Eighty-four respondents participated, including service providers, service managers and policymakers, mostly representing non-governmental organizations (NGOs), civil society organizations (CSOs) and governments across 12 countries (predominantly Kenya, South Africa and the Philippines).
    Results: Most respondents reported their sectors had experienced challenges in protecting children from violence - particularly delays in reporting abuse and pursuing justice, and reaching those living in poor and/or rural areas. Good practices and innovations in children's protection during the pandemic were reported in several domains: advocacy and signposting; justice; health care; education and awareness-raising; children's visibility; and virtual service delivery. Community resources and involvement were also highlighted as vital. The ineffectiveness of child protection laws, policies and organizational responses, however, hindered the implementation of effective practices.
    Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic has accentuated the complexities and interconnectivity of systems, processes and actors and their joint impact on children's protection and rights. Collectively, the findings reinforce the criticality of collaborative, urgent and child-centered responses.

    Abstract Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate a new 16-slice SPECT/CT scanner at Auckland City Hospital for its use in the detection and localization of parathyroid adenomas in patients with primary, secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism. The secondary outcome was to compare findings from SPECT/CT with ultrasound and operative findings.
    Methods: One hundred patients who underwent a SPECT/CT scan for primary/secondary/tertiary hyperparathyroidism were included in this study. Of these patients, 45 received surgery. SPECT/CT and ultrasound findings were collated for each patient, and of those who received surgery, operative and pathological findings were compared with those on SPECT/CT.
    Results: The sensitivity of diagnosis and localization was 86.5% (95% CI: 71.2-95.5%). Specificity was 25.0% (95% CI: 3.2-65.1%). Comparison between SPECT/CT and ultrasound findings demonstrated a kappa coefficient of 0.203 (95% CI: -0.036 to 0.442), correlating with fair agreement. These figures are in line with other published series.
    Conclusion: The SPECT/CT scanner (and associated reporters) at Auckland City Hospital demonstrates high sensitivity in the detection and localization of parathyroid adenomas and is an effective first-line investigation in patients with primary/secondary/tertiary hyperparathyroidism.

    Abstract Objectives: Current evidence suggests that a significant amount of human milk fat is lost because of tubing adsorption. The objective was to evaluate the effect of reintroducing tubing leftover milk on the quality of macronutrient content of delivered milk.
    Methods: This was an in vitro study. The standard method of preparing and delivering fortified human milk includes preparing a small extra volume that would be used for priming the connection tubes. At the end of the infusion, the tubes and any milk leftover would be discarded. This method was compared with a new method where by the exact milk volume was prepared and used to prime the connection tubes. Leftover tubing milk was pushed with air.
    Results: The standard method was associated with significant losses in fat, protein, and calories of 16.7%, 3.4%, and 9.2% compared with the new method of 8.2%, 0%, and 3.3%, respectively. These losses in the standard method were predominantly explained by the significant gains in the left over milk contents of fat 6.3 ± 1.1 g/dL, protein 3.5 ± 0.4 g/dL, and calories 28 ± 2.6 kcal/oz as compared with prepared milk of 4.8 ± 0.3, 2.9 ± 0.3 g/dL, and 24.0 ± 0.8 kcal/oz respectively, P = 0.002.
    Conclusions: Traditional continuous delivery methods of human milk are associated with significant losses of fat and protein. By preparing the exact amount of ordered milk and then pushing through the residual milk left in the tubing with a small amount of air, this study offers a simple intervention that would significantly decrease these losses.

    Abstract Adherence to self-management and medication regimens is required to achieve optimal blood glucose control in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Non-adherence places adolescents at serious risk of short and long-term health complications. Adherence difficulties may be exacerbated by concurrent eating disorders. Diabulimia is a term used to describe the deliberate administration of insufficient insulin to maintain glycaemic control for the purpose of causing weight loss. This article explores the concept of diabulimia and the compounding complications of an eating disorder on maintaining self-management regimens in adolescents with diabetes.

    Abstract Background: The advent of COVID-19 abruptly thrust the health and safety of children and families into greater risk around the world. As regional and local governments, nongovernmental organizations, communities, families, and children grapple with the immediate public health impact of COVID-19, the rights and well-being of children, especially those who are already marginalized, have been overlooked. Those working with children have likely encountered unprecedented challenges and responded in innovative ways in efforts to address the needs and rights of all children.
    Objective: This paper presents a protocol for a large-scale, multinational study using a new smartphone app to capture the real-time experiences and perspectives of practitioners and policymakers supporting children and families during the COVID-19 pandemic around the globe in relation to a children's human rights 4P framework of protection, provision, prevention, and participation.
    Methods: This protocol describes a mixed methods survey utilizing a custom-built iOS and Android smartphone app called the COVID 4P Log for Children's Wellbeing, which was developed in close consultation with 17 international key partner organizations. Practitioners and policymakers working with and for children's well-being across 29 countries and 5 continents were invited to download the app and respond to questions over the course of 8 weeks. The anticipated large amount of qualitative and quantitative response data will be analyzed using content analysis, descriptive statistics, and word frequencies.
    Results: Formal data collection took place from October 2020 until March 2021. Data analysis was completed in July 2021.
    Conclusions: The findings will directly inform the understanding of the ways in which COVID-19 has impacted practitioners', managers', and policymakers' efforts to support children's well-being in their practices, services, and policies, respectively. Innovative and ambitious in its scope and use of smartphone technology, this project also aims to inform and inspire future multinational research using app-based methodologies-the demand for which is likely to continue to dramatically rise in the COVID-19 era. Mitigating the risks of longitudinal remote data collection will help maximize the acceptability of the app, respondents' sustained engagement, and data quality.
