[Effective psychological interventions for coping with painful medical procedures in pediatric oncology: a theoretical review].
Children with chronic diseases have to undergo numerous and repeated painful medical procedures. Psychological interventions have produced good results in the treatment of this kind of pediatric pain and, although they have not been routinely incorporated into pediatric practice, they provide an effective complement to physical and pharmacological therapies. The present article reviews research into cognitive-behavioral treatment of the distress, pain and anxiety associated with medical procedures in pediatric oncology. We present the possible benefits of these interventions and suggest uses for cognitive-behavioral techniques when performing painful medical procedures.

[Psychological intervention for coping with painful medical procedures in pediatric oncology].
BACKGROUND: Psychological treatments for procedural distress have shown good results in pediatric oncology and several institutions recommend their implementation to reduce the procedural distress, anxiety and pain associated with painful medical procedures. OBJECTIVES: To assess the results of a psychological intervention in the first child participating in the study "Prospective Analysis of a Psychological Program for Coping with Medical Procedures in Pediatric Oncology". METHODS: We performed a single-case study, using pain and anxiety self-reports by the child and an observational scale in a psychological intervention with the following components: Breathing exercises, imagery, reinforcement, and behavioral rehearsal. RESULTS: The psychological intervention decreased procedural distress, anticipatory anxiety and pain. The 3-year-old child was able to give pain and anxiety self-reports using appropiate tools. CONCLUSIONS: The potential benefits of this kind of intervention are discussed, and some recommendations for future research are proposed.

[Erythema nodosum in pediatric patients. A study of 22 cases].
In this study we report the cases of 22 pediatric patients with nodal erythema. The predominance of this condition in male patients was clear. Etiological factors were determined in 77% of the patients. In our series, the principal cause was tuberculosis (36%). We would like to point out the etiological diversity in this small series of children: streptococcal infection, gastrointestinal infection with Salmonella enteritidis or Campylobacter jejuni, cat scratch disease, infectious mononucleosis, chronic hepatitis B, Crohn's disease and pharmacological (amoxycillin). In 22% of the cases no cause was found.
