Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to describe lung ultrasound (LUS) findings at baseline and 48 hours after the beginning treatment evaluate how they correlate with outcome Design We prospectively analyzed patients from 1 month 17 years age community acquired pneumonia (CAP) evaluated a tertiary level pediatric hospital. At treatment, history, clinical examination, laboratory testing, chest X‐ray, LUS were performed. Results One hundred one children enrolled in (13 complicated...
Bronchiolitis is the most common reason for hospitalization of children worldwide. Many scoring systems have been developed to quantify respiratory distress and predict outcome, but none them validated. We hypothesized that ultrasound evaluation diaphragm could therefore we correlated parameters with outcome.Prospective study infants bronchiolitis (1-12 months) evaluated in a pediatric emergency department. Ultrasonography examinations was performed (diaphragm excursion [DE], inspiratory...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a new global pandemic and is responsible for millions of infections thousands deaths in the world. lung ultrasound (LUS) noninvasive easily repeatable tool can be carried out by pediatrician at bedside children with consequent reduction risk transmission virus.We hypothesized that findings these patients would (1) associated their severity (2) change over time alignment clinical outcome.The study was made emergency department (ED) tertiary...
Background Multifactorial inheritance is probably involved in most cases of nonsyndromic conotruncal heart defects (CHDs), but Mendelian transmission often suspected. Results We report on a family with recurrence CTHD two double first cousins; i.e., brothers married sisters. One the cousins (case 1) had interrupted aortic arch (IAA) type B, while other one 2) truncus arteriosus (TA) atrioventricular canal defect (AVCD). Conclusions Our further supports monogenic CTHDs. In addition, presence...
(1) Background: Helmet Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (H-CPAP) has primarily been used in intensive care settings to treat moderate-to-severe bronchiolitis infants. We aim report on the feasibility of H-CPAP for selected infants with a pediatric ward. (2) Methods: A retrospective, observational, consecutive case series was studied 26 patients who received ward from October 2022 February 2023, including description patient outcomes and costs. (3) Results: Of 130 admitted Bambino Gesù...
Abstract Background In the last decades none of medical therapies investigated have shown clear efficacy in treatment bronchiolitis, and literature agrees on a general de‐implementation pharmacological therapies, recognizing an effective role only to nutritional support oxygen therapy. High‐flow nasal cannulas (HFNC) has become increasingly popular decade, despite its lack efficacy. Recent randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing standard therapy (SOT) HFNC did not demonstrate...
To date, no study has specifically examined children with acute-onset pupillary motility disorders (APMD). Especially in the Emergency Department (ED), it is crucial to distinguish benign and transient conditions from life-threatening or urgent (UCs). The aim of describe clinical characteristics APMD their association an increased risk UCs.We conducted a pediatric retrospective referred ED over 10-year period. We described overall sample two subgroups divided according urgency underlying...
Background: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is causing of the new global pandemic and responsible for millions infections thousands deaths in world. lung ultrasound a non-invasive easily repeatable tool can be carried out by pediatrician at bedside children with consequent reduction risk transmission virus. Objective: To determine whether useful identifying signs involvement COVID-19 monitor course disease. Methods: study was made emergency department tertiary level pediatric...
Abstract In this work the results obtained by means of ultrasonic, viscosity and Raman measurements on trehalose—water solutions, are presented. The ultrasonic data show that mixing process is not ideal water—trehalose interaction strength, because saturation H-bond sites, decreases increasing concentration. Furthermore, temperature behaviour shear in a strong—fragile pattern, analysis depolarized scattering spectra, relative to supercooled region, demonstrate noticeable kinetically fragile...
Totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the azygos vein is a rare congenital heart malformation in which all blood returns anomalously vein. Among 111 consecutive patients with totally undergoing surgical correction at our institution between June 1982 and September 1997, this was present seven cases. By echocardiography, using subxyphoid short-axis view atrial level modified suprasternal sagittal view, diagnosed when confluence traced posteriorly superiorly relative right artery...
In the present work results of an experimental study on trehalose aqueous solutions, performed by means Photon Correlation Spectroscopy and Incoherent Quasi Elastic Neutron Scattering measurements, are reported discussed. The findings allow to separate self- collective contributions, revealing presence two distinct translational diffusive mechanisms which have been assigned continuous diffusion molecules jump water molecules. Furthermore, comparison between coefficient, furnishes useful...
