Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is extensively used in the pediatric population. Environments and the nature of diseases have an impact on the type of CAM therapies used in children. ⋯ CAM is used prevalently in this population and the use of CAM is primarily focused on improving well-being. CAM usage for children increases with parental use. Further qualitative research is needed to understand the parental belief in the use of CAMs for children.

Comparative Study
Retention of luting agents used for implant-supported restorations: A comparative In-Vitro study.
The aim of this study was to compare the retention of different luting agents used with implant-supported restorations. ⋯ Neither of the tested cement had superiority over another to ensuring retention. The types of cement presented were meant to be a discretionary guide for the clinician in deciding the amount of the desired retention between castings and abutments.

The Child Welfare Card (CWC) contains the records of a child's immunization and information on the other aspects of the child's health, including growth curves and home treatment of diarrheal disease to mention a few. How easily retrievable these records are and what influence the cards have on parents/caregivers regarding the child's nurture are uncertain in our environment. ⋯ The overall knowledge, utilization, and accessibility of the CWC were poor. Parents/caregivers with good knowledge were more likely to utilize the information on the CWC compared with participants with poor knowledge.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Accuracy of fluid delivery devices for the neonate: Are the measures assured?
Delivery of accurate volumes of fluid in surgical neonates and children is crucial for the good outcome of treatment. But how accurate are the calibrations on the fluid delivery devices? ⋯ This study has demonstrated that the FDDs used our center are accurately calibrated and safe as they deliver volumes of fluid as labeled. The findings in this study reassure us of the dependability and accuracy of delivery of the FDDs we use in children in our center.
