Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can be particularly challenging during the pediatric age with a relevant impact on patient's health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Disease activity accounts for only small part variability in HRQoL, and psychological factors play significant role. We aimed to evaluate distress pain catastrophizing children adolescents IBD.We prospectively recruited aged 8 18 IBD recorded demographic characteristics. Patients answered questionnaires HRQoL (IMPACT III),...
Thalidomide is an effective therapy in children with inflammatory bowel disease refractory to standard treatments, but thalidomide-induced peripheral neuropathy (TiPN) limits its long-term use. We aimed investigate the risk factors and outcome of TiPN disease.Within a retrospective multicenter cohort study, we evaluated prevalence evolution TiPN. Clinical data candidate genetic profiles patients without were compared detect predisposing factors.One hundred forty-two identified. was found...
A 10-month-old girl presented with a soft swelling over the head vertex noted at age of 2 months (figure 1). Physical examination showed well-defined mass 2.5 cm × 1.5 cm covered by undamaged skin. The lesion was neither pulsating nor painful. Ultrasonography subcutaneous hypoechogenic cystic without vascularisation. MRI homogeneous T1-weighted hypointense and T2-weighted hyperintense non-vascularised intracranial extension 2); CT scans …
A 9-year-old former preterm girl was referred to our attention for massive but self-limiting enteral bleeding. Medical history remarkable neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, subsequent wide ileal resection with ileocecal valve removal and jejuno colic anastomosis. Before autonomy achievement, parenteral nutrition required the first 5 years of life due short bowel syndrome (SBS). Mild chronic iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) diagnosed 2 before admission it treated oral supplementation partial...
Spirometry is a very useful test in paediatric clinical practice. Nevertheless, to avoid making mistakes, it important keep mind its role and what can be measured how. “On which patients should spirometry performed? What does the clinician want rule out?
