However, this trend has also led to an unfortunate increase in treadmill-related hand burns for children, with estimates indicating that more than 12,000 children are treated in emergency departments for home exercise equipment-related injuries in the United States each year. A study recently published by researchers at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in the Journal of Burn Care and Research has found that pediatric treadmill burns are the second most common hand injury after stovetop burns, are more severe, and require greater and longer care in comparison to other contact hand burns....

Viral therapy for childhood cancer could possibly improve if treatments such as chemotherapy do not first suppress patients’ immune systems, according to findings published today in the journal Molecular Therapy—Oncolytics. Research on mouse tumors resembling rhabdomyosarcoma, the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children, revealed that the immune system’s T cells may be just as critical to fighting tumor cells as the viral therapy injections themselves.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) refers to abnormalities of the heart which are present at birth. CHD is the most common birth defect, occurring in about 1 in every 100 births. If adults with underlying heart conditions are at increased risk for COVID-19, researchers wondered if the same would hold true for children. A study recently published in the Journal of the American Heart Association shows this isn’t necessarily the case. Based on early experiences of heart disease centers, the study says that children with congenital heart disease are not at higher risk for getting COVID-19....
