Due to their susceptibilities, neonates and infants face unique SARS-CoV-2 challenges. This retrospective study will compare the illness course, symptoms, biomarkers, lung damage in with infection from February 2020 October 2023. was conducted at two hospitals Timisoara, Romania, using real-time multiplex PCR diagnose ultrasonography (LUS) assess involvement. Neonates had a more severe clinical presentation, an increased immune response, greater PCR-positive tests (p = 0.0089) longer...
This narrative review explores the evolution and implications of robotic-assisted surgery in pediatric neonatal cases, focusing on its advantages, drawbacks, specific diseases amenable to this innovative technology. Following PRISMA guidelines, 56 relevant articles from past five years were selected, emphasizing advancements precision, reduced trauma, expedited recovery times for patients. Despite challenges like cost training, ongoing research shapes surgery, promising improved outcomes....
Background and Objectives: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is the leading cause blindness in preterm infants. We studied relationship between different perinatal characteristics, i.e., sex; gestational age (GA); birth weight (BW); C-reactive protein (CRP) lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) concentrations; ventilation, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), surfactant administration; incidence Stage 1–3 ROP. Materials Methods: This study included 247 infants with (GA) < 32 weeks that were...
This prospective observational study aimed to investigate the utility of lung ultrasound (LUS) in diagnosing and managing pediatric respiratory infections, specifically focusing on viral, bacterial, SARS-CoV-2 infections. Conducted over a period 1 year 8 months, this research involved 85 patients (showcasing median age 14 months) recruited based specific criteria, including age, confirmed infection through multiplex PCR tests, willingness undergo LUS imaging. employed 12-area scoring system...
Abstract Rationale: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, which quickly spread throughout the world, has been putting medical workers all over world in difficulty because of high number cases combined with lack information about disease. Although pediatric are rare, group age under 12 months general more susceptible to develop forms disease compared patients interval 1 18 years. Patient concerns: Three newborns have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2...
Newborns infected with SARS-CoV2 infection develop different symptoms in comparison adults, but one thing is clear: some of the most common manifestations include cough and other respiratory that need to be evaluated. In these cases, lung ultrasound a useful imaging technique can evaluate newborns' damage caused by COVID-19 pneumonia used for surveillance patients as well, being non-irradiating easy use. Nineteen neonates who were confirmed having investigated using this tool, results...
Extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants (i.e. preterm weighing < 1,000 g) often present with morphofunctional multiple organ immaturity. This study aimed to determine whether early enteral feeding improves digestive tolerance, and there is a difference in growth between ELBW who were fed formula those breast milk.This was conducted from 2012-2013 involved 34 the Preterm Neonatology Clinic of 'Louis Turcanu' Clinical Children's Hospital Timisoara, Romania. Early nutrition introduced for all...
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a major cause blindness in premature infants. This study aimed to evaluate the association between inflammatory markers and ROP development extremely very neonates identify potential biomarkers for risk prediction. prospective was conducted from January 2021 2023 two clinical hospitals associated with "Victor Babes" University Medicine Pharmacy Timisoara. The population comprised gestational age less than 32 weeks. Various markers, including total white...
Objectives To assess pulmonary function and functional capacity in children adolescents with mild or moderate idiopathic scoliosis who were included a rehabilitation programme, to observe some of their physical activity behaviours. Methods Forty (aged 9–17 years) (patients) 40 sex- age-matched healthy controls the study. Physical behaviours (hours time spent at desk computer, hours competitive non-competitive practice exercise per week) recorded. Patients assessed before beginning 12 weeks...
Introduction: Celiac disease (CD) is defined by gluten-induced immune-mediated enteropathy, affecting approximately 1% of the genetically predisposed population.The immunologic response to gluten causes characteristic intestinal alterations with gradual development.Histologic recovery architecture was reported occur within 6-12 months after starting a gluten-free diet, simultaneously clinical remission.The aim this study assess rate and timing histologic among children CD on diagnosed...
It is already well known that infants and children infected with COVID-19 develop mild to moderate forms of the disease, fever oropharyngeal congestion being most common symptoms. However, there are instances when patients claim be experiencing respiratory Because repeated lung examinations required in these situations, non-irradiating imaging techniques preferred. This study's objective ascertain value ultrasonography (LUS) medical management specific cases.Infants under two years old...
The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has manifested distinct impacts on infants and children. This study delves into the intricate connection between lung ultrasound (LUS) findings serum biomarkers in neonates with COVID-19. Exploring factors contributing to mild symptoms this demographic, including immune responses pre-existing immunity, spans 3 years 9 months, involving 42 patients. Respiratory gastrointestinal predominate, LUS emerges as a vital, non-irradiating tool for...
Recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) treatment is an alternative to red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in neonates presenting anemia of prematurity (AOP). This study assesses the impact early rhEPO administration on AOP (any stage) incidence, as well incidence individual stages and RBC transfusions. Out 108 preterm neonates, 49 were administered compared remaining group using univariate multivariate analyses. Univariately, gestational age (GA), birth weight (BW), hemoglobin (Hb),...
Pectus excavatum is the most frequent deformity of thorax. Many surgical procedures have been used for correcting this chest wall deformity. The Nuss procedure an instant full correction using a rigid stainless steel bar, but some patients experience acute pain. We propose new progressive technique elastic rod. This method requires specification mechanical properties correlated with thorax anthropometric characteristics. determined force-displacement correlation anterior-posterior...
VIPomas are a type of neuroendocrine tumor that independently produces vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). causing watery diarrhea, hypokalemia, and achlorhydria (WDHA) syndrome not frequently observed in adult patients without pancreatic ailments. However, children, the occurrence VIPoma originating pancreas is exceedingly uncommon. Instead, WDHA more commonly associated with neurogenic tumors secrete VIP, often located retroperitoneum or mediastinum. Among infants, chronic diarrhea...
