In our editorial of September, we announced that Prof. Samy Cadranel had decided to retire from his role as editor-in-chief of the Belgian Journal of Paediatrics. Together with the entire editorial board we paid tribute to his creativity, his intelligence, his diplomacy and his joviality. On October 8th 2020, before the September edition arrived in your mailboxes, we learned that Professor Cadranel passed away. In addition to an outstanding editor-in-chief, we lose a passionate paediatrician and a friend. Thank you Samy for everything you gave to the journal and to our group. One more time, we express our deep sorrow to Mrs Cadranel and Samy's family. In this issue we publish an In Memoriam on behalf of the board of the BVK/SBP and an Obituary on behalf of the ESPGHAN family. The corona-virus vaccine is knocking on our door. Paediatricians have always been major players in vaccination. Although children have less risk of severe COVID-19 forms and will probably be included later in the vaccination program, we are convinced that pediatricians will play an important role in reassuring and informing parents and families. We hope that the progressive campaign in Belgium and all around the world will help us to return to normal life and to reexperience the joy of being together, with family, friends and colleagues. In this Holiday Season and before a new (we hope, an ultimate) effort, this is our wish for all of us. The core content of the BJP issue is devoted to the theme “ Obesity in childhood”. It was coordinated by Joseph Vinckx (KULeuven) and Marie-Christine Lebrethon (ULg). We thank our guest editors for their very dedicated commitment and all the authors for their remarkable contributions. The causes and consequences of this pathology are reviewed with a particular focus on genetic forms, exposure to bisphenol A and pre and postnatal determinants. The therapeutic approaches of obesity are also discussed. The specificities of inpatient, outpatient as well as bariatric surgery in children are detailed by our Belgian experts . As suggested on our cover designated exclusively by Serge Ernst for the journal, we are sure you will enjoy it ! In addition to these theme articles, we are also pleased to publish clinical cases that were reported by young colleagues in training: recurrent acute event in an infant, hypopharyngeal perforation presenting as progressive pneumonia and pneumomediastinum and rare presentation of congenital spinal dermal sinus. Larger series or studies are also published in this issue. A survey analyses the alcohol consumption

    Press Release Stockholm, September 16, 2020

    PRESS RELEASE STOCKHOLM, SEPTEMBER 16, 2020 Cutting-edge cancer treatment comes to Belgium with the installation of RayCare and RayStation at Particle Therapy Interuniversity Centre Leuven Advanced treatment planning system (TPS) RayStation®* and next-generation oncology information system (OIS) RayCare®* are now in operation at the brand new Particle Therapy Interuniversity Centre Leuven (PARTICLE). The center is the first proton therapy clinic in the world with the combination of RayCare and IBA’s single-room proton therapy device Proteus®ONE. Part of an interuniversity project of University Hospitals Leuven (together with KU Leuven and Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc-UCLouvain and supported by UZ Gent, CHU UCL Namur, UZ Brussel and UZA), PARTICLE has been created to offer clinical care, in addition to education, training and research and development. The collaborative center has partnered with leading academic partners and research institutes, as well as with industrial partners such as RaySearch, supplier of RayCare and RayStation, and IBA, the supplier of the proton therapy device ProteusONE. RayCare is designed to enable clinicians to fluidly coordinate tasks and ensure optimal use of resources. PARTICLE is the first proton therapy center in the world to install RayCare to support comprehensive cancer care and treatment delivery in combination with ProteusONE, a compact proton beam therapy device featuring the latest generation pencil beam scanning and isocenter volumetric imaging capabilities. Together, the advanced software from RaySearch and cutting-edge equipment from IBA will position PARTICLE at the forefront of innovative cancer treatment in Belgium. The combination of the technologies will help patients in the country gain critical access to proton therapy, which is the optimal option for cancer patients where treatment options are limited, or where conventional radiotherapy presents an unacceptable risk to the patient – as is often the case with children.

    Premiers Patients Traités Au Centre De Protonthérapie À Louvain

    Premiers patients traités au centre de protonthérapie à Louvain PARTICLE, le premier centre de protonthérapie belge est mis en service Mercredi 16 septembre 2020 — Pendant l'été 2020, les premiers patients ont pu être accueillis et ont bénéficié d’une protonthérapie dans le nouveau centre de protonthérapie implanté sur le campus “Gasthuisberg” de l’UZ Leuven (Louvain) et exploité conjointement par des équipes d’UZ Leuven et des Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc. La protonthérapie est une forme innovante de radiothérapie qui permet de traiter une tumeur de manière très ciblée et, ainsi, d’endommager le moins possible les tissus sains environnants. C’est la première fois que des traitements par protonthérapie sont administrés en Belgique. Le traitement des premiers patients s'est bien déroulé. C’est en automne 2016 qu’a débuté la construction de PARTICLE, le premier centre de protonthérapie en Belgique. Cet été, PARTICLE est entré en fonction à Louvain. Le premier patient, un jeune homme présentant une tumeur rare au cerveau, a été pris en charge le 22 juillet 2020. Depuis, 7 patients ont déjà pu bénéficier d’un traitement par protonthérapie. La protonthérapie est une forme innovante de radiothérapie qui permet de traiter une tumeur maligne de manière très ciblée et qui, de ce fait, endommage moins les tissus sains. Cette thérapie est en plein essor dans le monde entier pour le traitement de patients nécessitant une protection spécifique des tissus environnants. Il peut s’agir d’enfants atteints d'un cancer ou d’adultes avec une tumeur située à proximité d'un organe vital ou sensible comme les yeux ou le cerveau.

    Doctor and Pharmacist, Hand in Glove? Report After a Year of Clinical Internship in Belgium

    L Leemans1, L Willems2, R Kinget 1, N Verbeke1, A Verbruggen1, D Knockaert2, G Laekeman1 1Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, KU Leuven; 2UZ Leuven, Belgium DOCTOR AND PHARMACIST, HAND IN GLOVE? REPORT AFTER A YEAR OF CLINICAL INTERNSHIP IN BELGIUM At the dawn of the 21st century, doctors and pharmacists appear to be seeking more and more contact with each other. The main motives appear to be in the area of pharmacotherapy. This paper provides a general review of the history of collaboration between physicians and pharmacists, focusing especially on cooperation with hospital pharmacies. It also describes the clinical internship, during which final-year students in pharmacy are offered 2 months’ training in various hospital departments. In the academic year 1998–9, after a strict selection process, 12 students followed the training and seven departments were explored: endocrinology, g a s t ro e n t e ro l o g y, internal medicine, oncology, paediatrics, pneumology and emerg e n c y medicine. By means of this interdisciplinary method of education, the KU Leuven is striving for a practically oriented training, that a student must study to guarantee adequate provision of care in the 21 st century. KEY WORDS: Belgium, collaboration, doctors, education, pharmaceutical care, pharmacists HISTORICAL RELATIONSHIPS to have frequent conversations. The topics discussed Those who believe that collaboration between doctor and were mainly therapeutic matters (usually regarding new pharmacist is a brand new development in the framework drugs and drug interactions), the method of prescription of our profession are wrong. These professions have (both regarding specialties and individually prescribed a p p e a red to be naturally linked to each other for preparations) and repayment stipulations [2].

    Medical physics expert for the Particle Therapy Interuniversity Center Leuven (ParTICLe) Leuven (Belgium) Reference: 19000079 Apply before: 21-07-2019 Context A consortium of UZ Leuven/KU Leuven and Cliniques Universitaires Saint- Luc/UCL, strongly supported by UZ Ghent, UZA and UZ Brussels, decided to join forces to build the first proton therapy centre in Belgium, within the context of a solid medical, scientific and strategic alliance with all interested centres and partners. This interuniversity, multi-institutional collaboration is called ParTICLe, i.e. Particle Therapy Interuniversitary Centre Leuven. ParTICLe is currently being built on the Health Sciences Campus Gasthuisberg of the University Hospitals Leuven (UZ Leuven) and will treat its first patients mid-2019 (www.particle.be). An IBA ProteusONE proton therapy system is being installed and will be equipped with the latest features for pencil beam scanning proton therapy, on-board imaging and in-room CT-on-rails for image guidance. After the ramp-up phase of this facility it will be tightly integrated in the clinical practice of the radiation oncology departments of both UZ Leuven and Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc (St-Luc Hospital). The department of Radiation Oncology at UZ Leuven is equipped with five external beam radiotherapy treatment units, comprising two Varian Halcyon systems, two Varian TrueBeam systems and a Varian/BrainLab TrueBeam STX system. For treatment simulation, two high-end large bore CT’s are used. Complex techniques such as VMAT/IMRT, advanced IGRT, SBRT and SRS are used as part of the daily clinical routine. Brachytherapy is also an important element of the treatments offered, using PDR and HDR techniques as well as Ruthenium-106 for ocular malignancies.
