    Title translation Nitrous oxide is not widely used for children in the emergency departments in The Netherlands.
    Abstract Nitrous oxide was introduced in The Netherlands as an easily accessible and effective agent for procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) in children at the Emergency Department. It was expected that its adoption would increase due to the rapid onset of action, limited side effects and the non-invasive character. In this article, we discuss the efficacy and use of nitrous oxide in The Netherlands. Nitrous oxide is a safe and effective agent for children undergoing low-complex procedures. However, the analgesic effect is limited for complex procedures such as fracture reposition, necessitating the use of additional agents such as opioids. Against our expectations, most Dutch Emergency Departments do not use nitrous oxide. Reasons for this are the limited analgesic effects for most procedures, the availability of good alternatives and cost and sustainability considerations.

    Title translation Compartment syndrome of the forearm in a child.
    Abstract Background: Compartment syndrome is a rare but serious entity with various causes. Timely diagnosis and treatment are essential.
    Case description: We present a case of a 14-year-old boy with a crush injury of the forearm including a fracture of the radius and ulna. In addition, a traction injury of the brachial plexus was present. Despite the absence of pain, a fasciotomy was performed because of excessive swelling of the forearm with obvious bulging of the muscles intra-operatively.
    Conclusion: Compartment syndrome can develop at several places in the body, including the forearm. Disproportional pain is the most relevant symptom which can however be absent due to concurrent neurological injury. Surgical exploration is always warranted in case of a clinical suspicion of compartment syndrome to prevent severe complications.

    Title translation 18F-fluorocholine PET-CT scan effective in localising pathological parathyroid glands.
    Abstract 18F-fluorocholine PET-CT was introduced in The Netherlands for detection of pathological parathyroid glands in patients with primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism around five years ago. This relatively new imaging technique is able to localise pathological parathyroid glands in the case of negative or inconclusive conventional imaging, such as ultrasound and 99mTc-sestamibi scans. In this manuscript we review the performance and usage of 18F-fluorocholine PET-CT in the Netherlands. In the past five years many articles have been published, demonstrating its superior sensitivity and positive predictive value. All centers in The Netherlands have adopted this scan in their daily practice to enable minimal invasive surgery in patients with hyperparathyroidism, due to the relatively high costs, mostly as second line imaging modality. Studies regarding cost-effectiveness are currently lacking and will have to show if this new imaging modality should replace 99mTc-sestamibi scanning as a first-line localisation study.

    Abstract Purpose: Oncology patients undergoing positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) occasionally show discrete adrenal [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake without an associated nodule on CT, leaving the clinician uncertain about the need to proceed with biopsy or surgical referral. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of this radiological finding and to evaluate the effectiveness of FDG uptake values in risk stratification for adrenal metastasis.
    Methods: From 2014 to 2015, oncology patients who underwent FDG-PET/CT and demonstrated elevated FDG uptake in the adrenal gland without discrete nodularity on cross-sectional imaging were included in a retrospective cohort analysis. Clinical records and FDG-PET/CT scans were reviewed for clinicopathological data, follow-up data, SUVmax (highest SUV of either adrenal gland), and SUVratio (SUVmax/background liver uptake). A receiver operating characteristic analysis was conducted to evaluate the associations between SUV values and the progression to adrenal metastasis.
    Results: Of 3040 oncology patients who underwent FDG-PET/CT scans, 92 (3.0%) showed elevated adrenal uptake without associated mass. From the final study cohort of 66 patients with comprehensive follow-up data, 5 patients (7.6%) developed evidence of adrenal metastasis. At SUVmax < 3.25 (AUC = 0.757) and SUVratio < 1.27 (AUC = 0.907), 34.8% and 60.6% of patients could be excluded with 100% negative predictive value, respectively.
    Conclusions: Thresholds of SUVmax and SUVratio identified a significant proportion of patients who did not develop adrenal metastasis. In oncology patients who demonstrate increased adrenal FDG uptake without a discrete lesion on FDG-PET/CT, quantitative uptake values may be useful in selecting those not at risk of developing adrenal metastatic disease.

    Abstract Background: The optimal treatment strategy for clavicle fractures remains a topic of debate. We evaluated our step-wise treatment protocol for patients with clavicle fractures to determine our success rate of conservative treatment. In addition, we evaluated the incidence of complications after clavicle plate fixation in patients undergoing acute surgery vs. delayed surgery.
    Methods: This was a retrospective analysis in which we registered all patients aged 14 years or older with a clavicle fracture between January 2010 and May 2018 and at least 6 weeks' follow-up. Patients who underwent surgery were included from a prospectively maintained database. Functional outcomes were measured by Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand and Constant-Murley scores 6 weeks after surgery.
    Results: Conservative treatment was successful in 1627 of 1748 patients (93%). Primary fixation was performed in 73 patients (61%) and delayed fixation in 48 (39%). In 8 patients (6.6%), radiologic widening of the acromioclavicular (AC) joint was present after surgery, suggestive of AC injury. The incidence of complications was significantly higher among patients who underwent delayed fixation vs. those who underwent primary fixation: 15 of 48 patients (31.3%) vs. 9 of 73 patients (12.3%).
    Conclusion: Most patients with clavicle fractures have an excellent outcome using conservative management. Acute surgery can be performed in high-demand patients, resulting in high performance scores. Delayed surgery is associated with a higher risk of complications, although the outcome is generally good. Associated AC joint dislocation found on postoperative radiographs does not influence outcomes. Shared decision making is key, and patients should be well aware of the potential risks and benefits of surgery.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) affects 50% of males by age 50 and 50% of females by age 80. Recently, the use of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been proposed as a treatment for hair loss and to stimulate hair regrowth in AGA. This paper aims to review the existing research studies to determine whether LLLT is an effective therapy for AGA based on objective measurements and patient satisfaction.
    Study design: A systematic literature review was done to identify articles on Medline, Google Scholar, and Embase that were published between January 1960 and November 2015. All search hits were screened by two reviewers and examined for relevant abstracts and titles. Articles were divided based on study design and assessed for risk of bias.
    Results: Eleven studies were evaluated, which investigated a total of 680 patients, consisting of 444 males and 236 females. Nine out of 11 studies assessing hair count/hair density found statistically significant improvements in both males and females following LLLT treatment. Additionally, hair thickness and tensile strength significantly improved in two out of four studies. Patient satisfaction was investigated in five studies, and was overall positive, though not as profound as the objective outcomes.
    Conclusion: The majority of studies covered in this review found an overall improvement in hair regrowth, thickness, and patient satisfaction following LLLT therapy. Although we should be cautious when interpreting these findings, LLLT therapy seems to be a promising monotherapy for AGA and may serve as an effective alternative for individuals unwilling to use medical therapy or undergo surgical options.
