ABSTRACT
The Groupe de Pédiatrie Générale (General Pediatrics Group), a member of the Société française de pédiatrie (French Pediatrics Society), has proposed guidelines for families and doctors regarding children's use of digital screens. A number of guidelines have already been published, in particular by the French Academy of Sciences in 2013 and the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2016. These new guidelines were preceded by an investigation into the location of digital screen use by young children in France, a survey of medical concerns on the misuse of digital devices, and a review of their documented benefits. The Conseil Supérieur de l'Audiovisuel (Higher Council on Audiovisual Technology) and the Union Nationale de Associations Familiales (National Union of Family Associations) have taken part in the preparation of this document. Five simple messages are proposed: understanding without demonizing; screen use in common living areas, but not in bedrooms; preserve time with no digital devices (morning, meals, sleep, etc.); provide parental guidance for screen use; and prevent social isolation.

Os autores descrevem três casos de atelectasias cronicas do lobo inferior esquerdo que evoluiram com infecçöes e destruiçäo lobar, necessitando ressecçäo cirurgica. As atelectasias de duas das crianças nao foram reconhecidas e tratadas na fase aguda, o que pode ter influido na evoluçäo desfavorável destes casos. Os autores ressaltam a dificuldade no diagnostico clinico e radiografico da atelectasia cronica do lobo inferior esquerdo e a eventual necessidade de terapeutica cirurgica

The authors report a case of Parinaud syndrome (conjunctivitis with pre-auricular satellite adenitis) caused by Bartonella henselae, the etiologic agent of Cat Scratch Disease. The etiologic assessment of this case was performed by serum indirect immunofluorescence reaction and allowed for a better therapeutics and follow up, avoiding ineffective antibiotics and surgical interventions.
