10 Practice‑Changing Pearls

2024 AAP RSV guidance: nirsevimab for all infants < 8 mo entering first season; catch‑up dose acceptable through March.
CF newborn screen: IRT > 65 ng/mL plus elevated PAP ≥ 1.3 ➝ sweat test within 28 days.
Physical‑abuse red flag: frenulum tear in < 9‑mo non‑ambulatory infant warrants full skeletal survey.

Topical clascoterone 1 % cleared moderate acne 3× faster than vehicle; safe ≥ 12 yrs.
Long‑COVID teens: persistent dyspnea often exercise‑induced dysfunctional breathing—pulmonary rehab beneficial.
