Children facing illness undergo treatments that often require strict care routines, involving invasive medical procedures, lengthy hospital stays, and separation from familiar environments like home or school. These prolonged hospitalizations disrupt their usual schedules, resulting in feelings of isolation from family and friends for extended and uncertain periods. These difficulties may impede medical treatments and could contribute to psychological distress, further impacting the well-being of both the patient and their family.</p><p>Community education distributes its educational role among all those stakeholders who collaborate to promote an equitable and inclusive learning environment. While the school typically serves as the primary educational institution, for hospitalized children, their educational experience may differ significantly from that of their peers. Therefore, the hospital school encompasses a diverse team of professionals working collaboratively to deliver a tailored educational experience. This article emphasizes the critical importance of expanding such programs within hospital environments. It highlights the necessity of developing robust educational frameworks capable of adapting to the diverse needs and evolving structures of healthcare systems. Finally, the article emphasizes the imperative of upholding high-quality education, ensuring the right to education for all, and honoring the principles of special educational needs as outlined in the 1994 UNESCO Salamanca Statement</p></div>","PeriodicalId":73173,"journal":{"name":"Global pediatrics","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100204"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667009724000721/pdfft?md5=d58cb9062be48c294aa3679219e15529&pid=1-s2.0-S2667009724000721-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141543026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, one in every five girls globally becomes a bride before turning 18, with a staggering one-third wed before reaching 15. These unions exact a profound toll on emotional and social development, often depriving girls of their right to education, familial connections, leisure, and thrusting them into adult roles, including involuntary motherhood. The denial of childhood, coupled with the grave physical and emotional toll of underage and coerced marriages, yields lasting ramifications on girls' health, prospects, and overall well-being, imperiling not just their lives but also those of their offspring and the collective future. Such marriages constitute a severe form of child abuse, exposing girls to diverse forms of physical violence with enduring repercussions. This commentary, aims to heighten awareness among main stakeholders entrusted with the welfare of minors, including legislators, healthcare professionals and local communities, regarding this issue and its lasting perils. Finally, it underscores the pivotal role pediatricians can play as advocates, actively engaging in programs aimed at monitoring and thwarting the adverse personal and societal repercussions engendered by these distressing phenomena among the under-18 demographic.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":73173,"journal":{"name":"Global pediatrics","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100208"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667009724000769/pdfft?md5=9342f5f6791b9d2d01c10ec57ab107d6&pid=1-s2.0-S2667009724000769-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141731848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the human population, besides SARS-CoV-2, numerous additional viruses have lately emerged or re-emerged. To accurately predict the hazards of emerging and re-emerging viral infections, close cooperation between the public health system and the scientific community is essential.

Recent advancements in immunology, genetics, and biotechnology have enabled the creation of several vaccines, including those for dengue, RSV, chikungunya, malaria, and most notably, COVID-19.

In 1796, Edward Jenner conducted one of the first modern immunizations when he inoculated an 8-year-old boy using material from a cowpox lesion. In 1959, WHO (World Health Organization) launched the Smallpox Eradication Programme. By 1980, WHO declared smallpox officially eradicated. Due to genetic and antigenic similarities between the monkeypox and smallpox viruses, the cessation of smallpox vaccination since 1980′s contributed to the wanning of cross‐protection against monkeypox (mpox). Outbreaks of human mpox has spread across 110 countries.</p><p>In 1916 and 1952, two major poliovirus outbreaks took place in the USA. The virus killed or paralyzed over half a million people yearly. Introduction of the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV,1955) and oral polio virus (OPV,1963) led to decline in the number of cases by 99.99 %. The Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) was launched in 1988 and five of six WHO regions have been certified free of wild polio virus (WPV), except Eastern Mediterranean region. Africa had been declared WPV free, unfortunately cases of paralysis due to wild virus in Malawi and Mozambique were detected having been imported from Pakistan.
