This is the first study, showing that a targeted nutritional assessment teaching program that highlights both the importance and techniques of anthropometrical measurements has successfully been implemented in a PICU. It managed to improve staff knowledge and nutritional practice.

Racket sports offer an enjoyable form of physical activity and are fertile ground for interactive technologies supporting new players. Yet, current research has neglected its potential to support not only active players but also coaches in their training methods. To investigate how interactive technologies can support skill acquisition in training, we designed an Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) system that helps maintain the ready position in crossminton. We compared the system with a vibrotactile solution in a user study, interviewing novice players and experienced coaches about their perception of the system. The system allowed coaches to effectively and immediately guide players to the ready position. An EMS-based feedback system for coaches can potentially reduce delay (physical and cognitive) for trainees, as stated by coaches. Our work contributes insights into designing systems that facilitate learning sports techniques using interactive feedback.

A previously healthy 4-year-old male was admitted to our institution with acute headache, vomiting, and drowsiness 5 months after varicella infection. Brain imaging revealed a right sylvian infarct due to an intracranial arterial lesion (see Fig. 1). Apart from detection of varicella-zoster virus DNA in cerebrospinal fluid by polymerase chain reaction assay, all aetiological investigations were normal. After 3 months on aspirin, there was no recurrence and his physical examination remained normal. Magnetic resonance angiography showed partial revascularization of the region of the infarct.This report fits the clinical definition of post-varicella arteriopathy. The proposed mechanism for this frequent cause of childhood stroke is focal viral invasion of the
