Abstract Background Despite pediatric acute illnesses being leading causes of death and disability among children, critical care services are not universally available in low-middle income countries, such as Tanzania, even if this country significant progress has been made child survival, over the last 20 years. In these hospital emergency departments may represent only or main point access to health-care services. Thus, hospitalization rates reflect both health system organization patients’...
Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from pulmonary (ARCAPA) is a very rare disease. Echocardiographic diagnosis can be challenging, especially in both asymptomatic children with no history cardiac disease or critically ill newborns setting intensive care unit. We report case ARCAPA neonate congenital airway malformation (CPAM), whose echocardiographic was particularly challenging due to critical status at presentation.
ARCAPA echocardiographic diagnosis. A network of small multiple coronary vessels, a systo-diastolic jet flow into the pulmonary artery and retrograde inverted «blue» RCA are key signs. CT-scan confirms diagnosis .
Published data estimate the prevalence of vascular ring at approximately 7 per 10,000 live births. The association a double aortic arch with D-transposition great arteries has been rarely described in literature. In this study, we report prenatal diagnosis 28-year-old woman. A fetal echocardiography gestational age 24 weeks + 6 days showed and ventricular septal defect pulmonary stenosis. On first night after birth, baby experienced an increase lactate levels, rate oxygen saturation...
Abstract Background Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is a rare neuromuscular genetic disorder due to defect of ion channels and subsequent function impairment. It belongs paralyses group including hyperkalemic (HEKPP), hypokalemic (HOKPP) Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS). Clinical presentations are mostly characterized by episodes flaccid generalized weakness with transient hypo- or hyperkalemia. Case presentation A teenage boy presented Emergency Department (ED) for acute no story neurological...
Attempts to analyze respiratory function of the laryngectomized patient with tests such as spirometry and plethysmography have been described in literature, highlighting however substantial difficulties. Oscillometry, through forced oscillation technique (FOT), measures mechanical properties system minimizing problems related patient's lack compliance. This methodology has never applied these patients therefore represents a new perspective analysis function.
