A three-dose, oral rotavirus vaccine (Rotavac) was introduced in the universal immunization program India 2016. prelicensure trial involving 6799 infants not large enough to detect a small increased risk of intussusception. Postmarketing surveillance data would be useful assessing whether intussusception similar seen with different vaccines used other countries.
Basidiobolomycosis is a rare chronic subcutaneous infection caused by Basidiobolus ranarum, which usually treated with potassium iodide. Extensive deforming lesions in children can occur owing to lack of early diagnosis and/or inappropriate treatment.An 8-year-old girl child presented us extensive plaque-like over the left thigh and leg multiple ulcerations 1 year's duration. Histopathology was suggestive zygomycosis Splendore Hoeppli phenomenon. Microscopic examination tissue showed...
AbstractBasidiobolomycosis caused by Basidiobolus ranarum is a rare infection of the subcutaneous tissues in immune-competent patients which occurs predominantly children and young adults. Primary physicians often misdiagnose condition owing to its slow, painless, relentless growth, absence response antibiotics anti-inflammatory drugs unfamiliarity with this lesion. All cases basidiobolomycosis aged between 1 12 years presenting at tertiary hospital Pondicherry over period 4 (2007–2011) were...
Background: Snake envenomation is a well-known cause of morbidity and mortality in rural India. In the year 2009, WHO included snake bite list neglected diseases.Methods: This study was conducted children admitted with Pediatric Intensive Care Unit 2015. Their demographic details, site bite, arrival time, 20Minutes Whole Blood Cloting Time, Clinical signs symptoms, complications outcome were measured.Results: The male: female ratio 2.57:1. Peak age group affected 6 to 12 years old children....
The aim of this study was to analyze the presentation and management major grade renal trauma in children.A retrospective performed including data collected from patients who were admitted Pediatric surgery with injury (grade 3 more) January 2015 August 2018. Demography, clinical parameters, management, duration hospital stay final outcome noted.Out 13 children (9 males 4 females), age range 2-12 years (mean 8 years), reported self-fall commonest mode followed by road traffic accident....
Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are a group disorders responsible for majority pediatric end-stage renal disease cases. There only few studies on CAKUT.A study was conducted to determine clinical biochemical profile children with CAKUT estimate prevalence factors associated hypertension in cross-sectional tertiary center 18 months from March 2014 August 2015. Demographic data were recorded, examination including blood pressure measurement performed. Various...
Children with solitary functioning kidney (SFK) are prone to develop long term problems, which not well represented in the literature. The extent presence of associated congenital anomalies and urinary tract (CAKUT) further de-stabilize renal function is be addressed.This study was conducted evaluate etiology, presentation, CAKUT, damage children SFK.All SFK who presented department pediatric surgery from March 2014 May 2016 were included study. malignancy excluded study.Of 20 patients SFK,...
The prediction of healing period a tibia fracture in humans across limb using first-order mathematical model is demonstrated. At present, diagnosed X-rays. Recent studies have demonstrated electric stimulation as diagnostic tool healing. A DC voltage 0.7 V was applied the and stabilized with Teflon coated carbon rings data recorded at different time intervals until heals. experimental fitted plus dead zero (FOPDTZ) that coincided electrical simulated limb. Fracture diagnosis proposed...
To explore the possibility of using urinary biomarkers neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) to assess presence renal scars in children with Vesicoureteric Reflux (VUR).This cross-sectional study was conducted 94 aged 0-16 years diagnosed VUR Department Pediatric Surgery, JIPMER. Urinary were measured enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits, normalized creatinine (Cr) compared severity (low grade [I II] high [III, IV, V]), or absence scar...
Sir, A 2800-g male infant, born to a mother by vaginal delivery after 38 weeks gestation, presented with pedunculated mass protruding from his mouth [Figure 1]. There was no respiratory distress. The 5.1 cm in diameter, peduncle 1 diameter. associated anomaly. did not have ultrasonography (USG) examinations done during her pregnancy. An excision biopsy planned. After connecting the standard monitor, intravenous (iv)access secured and baby preoxygenated 100% oxygen mask. Inj. Glycopyrolate 10...
Abstract Background Hair‐thread tourniquet syndrome is caused by a strand of hair or thread tightly wrapped around an appendage. Affected parts include toes, phallus, fingers, clitoris, labia and even uvula. This disorder can be quite serious if not promptly recognized treated; permanent tissue damage loss the appendage occur. Material A rare delayed presentation hair‐thread as non‐healing, discharging ulcer in two‐year‐old child presented. Results Identification fiber with loupes, complete...
With increasing resistance to currently used antibiotics, antibiotic combinations are being resorted to. The present study deals with five children complicated urinary tract infection (UTI) whose urine cultures grew multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms. In all of these cases, MDR organisms were the causative agents for UTI and available including colistin, ineffective, although sensitive in vitro. isolates reverted susceptible quinolones cephalosporins tested, namely ceftriaxone ceftazidime....
Machine Learning classifiers suffer from the socalled curse of dimensionality. The availability data abnormal class is practically difficult. One-class classify based on training samples a huge database normal instances. There loss accuracy due to absence class. A possible solution use results one-class classifier train two-class ANN classifier. such can be better validated using confusion matrix. Support Vector Data Description one specifically designed regardless linearity or separability...
AbstractAn artificial intelligent approach based human tibia fracture healing diagnosis using DC electrical stimulation, a technique to be used by orthopedists both for bone treatment and also assessment, is described. Electrical data recorded across 20 different patients whose site was stabilized Teflon coated rings input voltage of 0.7 V applied via K-wires were train the networks. The novel element processing, which incorporates neural network Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS)...
Oncocytic adrenocortical tumours (OATs) or oncocytomas are extremely rare and usually benign nonfunctional. We report the case of a 4-year-old male with right-sided, functional oncocytic adenoma, who presented precocious puberty Cushing's syndrome. After work-up, patient underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy. The excised adrenal mass weighed 21 g measured 3.5 cm in maximum dimension. Histological examination demonstrated no features suggestive aggressive biological behaviour. had recurrent...
Background: Scorpion envenomation is a common emergency in children. The main objective to study the clinical profile of scorpion children.Methods: Retrospective analysis all sting case records for one year. Case were analyzed history, features, investigations, treatment modalities and outcome. Results: During period, 66 cases admitted treated with following results. 33% was Class I, 52% II 15% III severity. There no mortality. symptoms noted were: Pain at site, diaphoresis restlessness....
A BSTRACT Background and Aims: Differentiation of nonobstructive dilatation (NOD) from ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a challenge in children with antenatally detected hydronephrosis. The aim this study to compare the utility urinary biomarkers: carbohydrate antigen (CA 19-9), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecule (KIM) diagnosing UPJO. Methods: prospective was conducted after obtaining ethical clearance between 2021 2022. Group 1 – control...
