There has been a significant expansion in the number of low-level and midlevel neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) recent decades. Infants with necrotizing enterocolitis represent high-risk subgroup very low-birth-weight (VLBW) (<1500 g) population that would benefit from focused regionalization.To describe current trend toward deregionalization to test hypothesis infants particularly VLBW early identification, increased intensity management, possible targeted triage tertiary hospitals.A...
<h3>Objective</h3> Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is a major source of neonatal morbidity and mortality. The management infants with NEC currently complicated by our inability to accurately identify those at risk for progression disease prior the development irreversible intestinal necrosis. We hypothesised that integrated analysis clinical parameters in combination urine peptide biomarkers would lead improved prognostic accuracy population. <h3>Design</h3> Infants under suspicion having...
Background Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a major source of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Since there no specific diagnostic test or risk progression model available for NEC, the diagnosis outcome prediction NEC made on clinical grounds. The objective in this study was to develop validate new scoring systems automated staging prognostic forecasting. Study design A six-center consortium university based pediatric teaching hospitals prospectively collected data infants under suspicion...
Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver (UESL) is a rare tumor for which there are few evidence-based guidelines. The aim this study was to define current management strategies and outcomes these patients using multi-institutional dataset curated by Pediatric Surgical Oncology Research Collaborative.
Abstract Two percent of pediatric malignancies arise primarily in the liver; roughly 60% these cancers are hepatoblastoma (HB). Despite rarity cases, international collaborative efforts have led to consistent histological classification and staging systems, which facilitate ongoing clinical trials. Other primary liver seen children include hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with or without underlying disease, fibrolamellar (FLC), undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma (UESL), neoplasm not otherwise...
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a mesenchymal neoplasm of intermediate malignancy. We describe the largest cohort IMT patients to date, aiming further characterize this rare, poorly understood tumor. This multi-institutional review ≤39 years, from 2000 2018, at 18 hospitals in Pediatric Surgical Oncology Research Collaborative. One hundred and eighty-two were identified with median age 11 years. Thirty-three percent tumors thoracic origin. Presenting signs/symptoms included pain...
Hepatic artery complications (HACs), such as a thrombosis or stenosis, are serious causes of morbidity and mortality after paediatric liver transplantation (LT). This study will investigate the incidence, current management practices outcomes in patients with HAC LT, including early late complications.
Background: The latest generation of interactive cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) scanners has made interventions with real‐time MRI possible. To date, been mostly applied to measure myocardial perfusion, viability, and regional function, but now the application can be extended cardiovascular interventions. purpose this article is illustrate potential in stem cell therapy for restoration. Methods: We have (1) interactively target injections a novel delivery catheter, compare gadolinium/blue...
In Brief OBJECTIVE: To assess the cost-effectiveness of diagnostic laparoscopy, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after indeterminate ultrasonography in pregnant women with suspected appendicitis. METHODS: A decision-analytic model was developed to simulate appendicitis during pregnancy taking into consideration health outcomes for both developing fetuses. Strategies included CT, MRI. Outcomes positive appendectomy, negative maternal perioperative complications,...
