ReviewCaring for Pediatric Hidradenitis Suppurativa Patients in the Emergency Department.
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory skin condition resulting in the formation of nodules, sinus tracts, and abscesses in intertriginous areas. We provide recommendations for the management of children presenting to the emergency department with acute HS flares, based on a review of literature and insights from our own clinical experience. The purpose of the recommendations is to educate clinicians on specific considerations that should be made when caring for children with HS.

ReviewTop Citations of Pediatric Emergency Medicine Publications in the Emergency Medicine Literature.
The goal of this study was to identify and analyze the 100 most frequently cited journal articles pertaining to the field of pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) and published in emergency medicine (EM) peer-reviewed literature. ⋯ This analysis provides a review of citation frequency of top-cited PEM articles published in EM journals. This determines the influence of these PEM publications on the EM specialty. The importance of education on resuscitation and anesthesia topics in PEM was evident. Most of the articles were published more than 10 to 15 years ago, indicating that they could be considered landmarks in the subspecialty of PEM. This signifies their importance to other authors in this field, who chose to cite them as having created a significant impact on their own publications.
