Risk of suicidal events with atomoxetine compared to stimulant treatment: a cohort study.
The researchers analyzed whether the observed increased risk of suicidal ideation in clinical trials translates into an increased risk of suicidal events in pediatric patients treated with atomoxetine compared with stimulants in 26 Medicaid programs. They found that first- and second-line treatment of youths age 5 to 18 with atomoxetine compared with stimulants was not significantly associated with an increased risk of suicidal events.

Pharmacologic interventions for infantile hemangioma: a meta-analysis.
The objective of this report was to meta-analyze studies of pharmacologic interventions for children with infantile hemangiomas (IH). It concluded that propranolol was effective at reducing IH size compared with placebo, observation, and other treatments including steroids in most studies. Corticosteroids demonstrated moderate effectiveness at reducing IH size/volume.
