Clinicians may struggle to recognize Giggle Incontinence (GI) issues in children and preadolescents due to a lack of disclosure, often caused by embarrassment. One such issue is giggle incontinence, which can be difficult to treat. However, first-line treatment options include reassurance of cure, timed voiding or bowel management, and biofeedback and Kegel exercises, regardless of GI severity. Second-line treatment with oxybutynin and timed voiding could be tried, followed by third-line treatment with MPH, though this option may be objectionable to some parents due to its association with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Leadership is more than just a title—it’s about integrity, empathy, and action. As I continue my journey towards becoming a pediatrician, I am reminded that true leadership, especially in healthcare, is built on the respect and trust of the team and patients you serve.Caring for children demands not only clinical expertise but also deep empathy, compassion, and setting the right example for those around us. Every action counts, every word matters. This powerful reminder applies to all of us, whether in healthcare or beyond.#Leadership #Pediatrics #Empathy #HealthcareLeadership #Teamwork

Measuring is Knowing: Insights from Pediatric Growth Data Understanding the basic measurements of height and weight in our patients is crucial not only for their current health but also for their future well-being. Our recent study, involving 25,782 children aged 2 to 20 (10,494 boys and 15,288 girls), reveals significant findings. Compared to the 2004 #VUB, #KUL publication, our data indicate that children today are significantly heavier starting from the age of 14. This trend underscores the importance of continuous monitoring and proactive health measures. Accurate measurements today pave the way for a healthier tomorrow. #Pediatrics #HealthData #ChildHealth #GrowthMonitoring #FutureHealth #PodologischCentrumPaulBORGions #Podiatry #prevention #sports
