Management of Pediatric Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (NASPGHAN, 2025)
Editorial Note: These are some of the highlights of the guidelines without analysis or commentary. For more information, go directly to the guidelines by clicking the link in the reference. Guidelines on pediatric cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) were published in April 2025 by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition .[1] Abortive Treatment Antimigraine agents, such as triptans and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are strongly recommended for treating acute episodes of pediatric CVS in patients who have a personal or family history of migraine. Other options for treating acute CVS episodes in children and adolescents are 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 and neurokinin 1 (NK-1) receptor antagonists. Administration of intravenous fluids is suggested for patients who do not respond to outpatient abortive therapy. Prophylactic Treatment To prevent CVS episodes, suggested nonpharmacologic approaches are trigger avoidance and the use of dietary supplements, such as coenzyme Q10, riboflavin, and magnesium. Medications that are suggested for prophylaxis include beta-blockers and NK-1 and 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A receptor antagonists. Tricyclic antidepressants may be considered for patients with frequent and severe symptoms. Because of their adverse effects, anticonvulsants are generally not recommended for prophylaxis and should be reserved for patients who have refractory CVS.

People in nostalgic Cunard photos found after appeal
Celebrated cruise liner company Cunard has said staff and guests have come forward with their memories after an appeal to track down the faces featured in an exhibition marking the shipping line's 185th anniversary. To mark its anniversary, the luxury shipping firm has collected images from former guests, workers and newspaper archives and wants to uncover some of the stories behind them. Images were collected for the Sea of Glamour exhibition, curated by photographer Mary McCartney, which will be launched in Liverpool later this month. After an appeal to find some of the people shown in the photos, former staff and guests got in touch with Cunard to tell their stories. Anne Logan, 84, originally from the Port Talbot area, recognised herself in a photo showing staff aboard the QE2 in 1975. It shows 26 women in matching uniforms posed on the deck for a feature in the British tabloid Reveille, with the caption saying they were known as "cyclic cleaners" because of the constant circle of work in keeping the ship clean. Ms Logan, a former stewardess, said the picture brought back memories from her 30 years working on the seas, including serving celebrities who travelled onboard. "I looked after lots. Rod Stewart was with us three times, first with Britt Ekland then Alana Stewart and then Rachel Hunter - so with a different woman every time," she said. "Elton John and his wife Renate Blauel came across from New York to Southampton. He was very nice and polite but very, very quiet," she said. "He spent all of his time with his manager and she spent all of her time in the shops." The Welsh valleys as you've never seen them before Lost photos show young Manics before star's disappearance HMS Prince of Wales departs on major deployment Ms Logan worked on 19 world cruises before settling in Southampton where she became a care worker. She has not lost her love for being at sea and still goes on a cruise once a year. Another photo shows Leading Aircrewman Roy Eggleston with his then-girlfriend saying goodbye at Southampton before he boarded the QE2 as part of the 825 Naval Air Squadron in 1982, during the Falklands War. The liner was converted into a troop ship at the time. The romantic connection captured on camera did not last and the couple later split up, but Mr Eggleston, now 69 and living in Sutton on Sea, Lincolnshire, contacted Cunard to reveal himself and described his former fiance as "a beautiful part of my life". The exhibition also features David Lawrence, pictured standing aboard a lifeboat from the QE2 that he kept on the front drive of his semi-detached home in Llanharry, Rhondda Cynon Taf. His son Geraint, 47, said he was about four when his father bought the boat, which he named Rhona after his daughter. "My dad was a little eccentric," he said. "He didn't often follow the same path as everyone else. If you think about it not many people would buy a lifeboat to keep in their driveway, but this wasn't the first time he had done something like this." Mr Lawrence, a former coal miner, has since died but his son said: "It's great to see that despite the loss, the story of my dad and Rhona lives on today." Lee Powell, vice president of brand and product at Cunard, said they had been "overwhelmed by the incredible response to our call for photos". Anniversary celebrations will take place in Liverpool from 26 May when Cunard's newest ship the Queen Anne will arrive in the city. The Sea of Glamour exhibition will be open to the public at the Royal Liverpool Building from 28 May to 17 June and will be free to view, before sailing around the world on the Cunard fleet.

Beating acne naturally: Ayurveda herbs, homeopathy tips and 6 lifestyle changes to detox your skin
Acne is among the most prevalent skin problems, occurring in millions of people globally and while breakouts typically happen during the teenage years, a large population of adults deal with persistent acne. According to the National Library of Medicine, most adult acne patients are between 26 and 30, with women being disproportionately affected. Research indicates that 44.5% of cases of acne exhibit a cyclic pattern that worsens with the summer months. While conventional treatments, such as antibiotics and chemical-based topical solutions, may provide temporary relief, they often fail to address the root cause of acne. Experts claim this is where holistic healing systems like Ayurveda and homeopathy offer a promising alternative, focusing on internal balance, detoxification and long-term skin health. Homeopathy approaches acne treatment by considering an individual's unique symptoms, lifestyle and overall health. It offers targeted remedies based on the type and cause of acne. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Mukesh Batra, Founder and Chairman Emeritus of Dr Batra's Healthcare, shared, 'Homeopathy provides a personalised approach to treating acne, working on the internal imbalances that cause breakouts rather than just treating the symptoms. It is a safe, natural and effective alternative for those who want long-lasting skin improvement without the side effects of harsh medications.' Ayurveda, India's ancient healing system, has long emphasized that skin issues like acne arise due to imbalances in the body's doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). Ayurveda focuses on purifying the body, balancing hormones and enhancing digestion to resolve acne at its root. Natural herbs like Neem, Shudh Gandhak, Chirayta and Haritaki are renowned for their acne-fighting properties. Danny Kumar Meena, Founder and CEO at Girlyveda, a brand that provides Ayurvedic-based solutions for women's health, including skincare, expressed, 'Ayurveda works at the root cause of acne rather than providing superficial relief. Ingredients like Neem, Shudh Gandhak, Chirayta and Haritaki help detoxify the body, regulate sebum production and promote long-term skin health. Unlike chemical treatments, Ayurveda provides a sustainable and natural solution for acne.' Both Ayurveda and homeopathy emphasize the importance of lifestyle modifications to prevent and manage acne effectively.

Cunard searches for stories behind photos in anniversary exhibition
Cruise line Cunard is hoping to track down the unsung heroes of a photo exhibition which celebrates 185 years of ocean travel. To mark its anniversary, the luxury shipping company has collected images from former guests, employees, celebrities and newspaper archives, and hopes to uncover some of the stories behind them. One of the photos, which will go on display in the Sea of Glamour exhibition in Liverpool in May, shows the army of cleaners on board the QE2 in 1975. The 26 women, in matching uniforms, posed on the deck of the ship for the newspaper photograph, which was accompanied by a caption explaining they were known as 'cyclic cleaners' because of the constant circle of work involved in keeping the ship clean. It named one of them as Linda McAndrew, of Bournemouth, Dorset, part of a team cleaning seven spiral staircases, each 13 storeys high, who said: 'Often I'm cleaning one side and they're already dropping sweet papers and cigarette ash on the side I've just cleaned.' The team behind the exhibition are also keen to track down David Lawrence, who is shown in a picture from 1982 standing on top of the QE2's lifeboat, which he bought at auction and kept in the driveway of his semi-detached home in Llanharry, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. Lee Powell, vice president of brand and product at Cunard: 'We've been overwhelmed by the incredible response to our call for photos. 'Among the wonderful submissions, these particular images truly stood out to us, capturing some of the behind-the-scenes moments of the curation of our ships and the remarkable people who have helped shape Cunard's rich history. 'We would love to uncover the stories behind these photographs and we're hoping the public can help us reconnect with the people featured so their stories can become a memorable part of our Sea of Glamour exhibition.' Organisers are also hoping someone recognises a couple leaning in for a kiss as British troops bid farewell to family and friends before leaving Southampton on the QE2 during the Falklands War in 1982. The liner had been converted into a troop ship. A group of young men shown in 1967 kicking a football around beneath the hull of the QE2 at the shipyard in Clydebank, Scotland, where it was built are also featured in the exhibition. If they are tracked down, their stories could be included in the exhibition. Anyone who recognises themselves, or someone they know, in one of the photos is asked to send their details, with a brief description of the image and the story behind it, to cunardphotography@ The Sea of Glamour exhibition will be curated by photographer Mary McCartney, daughter of Beatles star Sir Paul McCartney, and will launch at the Liver Building on May 28 before sailing around the world on the Cunard fleet.
