Although amphibians are known Salmonella carriers, aquatic African dwarf frogs are specifically marketed toward children, who are especially vulnerable to Salmonella infections. Both direct animal contact and indirect contact with animal habitats can lead to human Salmonella infections.

This is the first reported outbreak of human Salmonella infections associated with African dwarf frogs, particularly among young children. Parents should be aware of the risk of Salmonella infections from both direct and indirect animal contact. Pediatricians should regularly inquire about animal contact and advise families about risks.

Previous research has demonstrated that pediatric injuries associated with television (TV) tip-overs are increasing, children aged ≤4 years are at highest risk for injury, and the head and neck are most commonly injured.

We analyzed a nationally representative sample comprising 22 years of data. On average, 17 313 children receive emergency treatment of a TV-related injury annually in the United States. The rate of injury attributable to falling TVs increased by 95% over 22 years. (Read the full article)

One study examined the incidence of obesity among low-income children aged <5 years who participated in federally funded child health and nutrition programs during 1985–1990. The study examined the variations by baseline age but not by gender or race/ethnicity.

This study provides most recent data on incidence and reversing of obesity and variations across gender, baseline age, and racial/ethnic subgroups among young low-income children. We conducted multivariable analyses to examine the relative risk of obesity in population subgroups. (Read the full article)

Shoulder injuries are common among high school athletes. These injuries, both traumatic and overuse, contribute to significant time loss from athletic activity. Understanding sport-specific injury patterns is critical for development of targeted injury prevention programs.

This study is the most comprehensive analysis of high school shoulder injuries to date, providing national injury estimates while examining injury rates, diagnoses, severity, and mechanisms of injury in 9 interscholastic sports. (Read the full article)

Since the introduction of rotavirus vaccines, diarrhea-associated health care utilization among US children has decreased substantially. Moreover, indirect benefits from rotavirus vaccination have been observed in unvaccinated children and in adults.

With increasing rotavirus vaccine coverage during 2009–2011, we observed continued reductions in diarrhea-associated health care utilization and cost. Both rotavirus vaccines conferred high protection against rotavirus hospitalizations; pentavalent rotavirus vaccine provided durable protection through the fourth year of life.

Cigarette smoking during adolescence causes significant health problems. Health care providers play an important role in promoting tobacco use abstinence among adolescents, but recent data on the prevalence of provider screening and advice to adolescents are lacking.

This study uses nationally representative surveillance data to provide current estimates of self-reported receipt of health professional screening and advice about tobacco use among US adolescents. Cessation behaviors and correlates of past-year quit attempts among smokers were also explored. (Read the full article)
