Coagulopathy and mesenteric thrombosis are common in premature neonates with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). This pilot study aimed to investigate the hypothesis that there changes gene expression related coagulation anticoagulation systems NEC.Consecutive (n = 11) NEC (Bell stages 2-3) were recruited. Two comparison groups, matched for birth weight corrected gestational age, selected based on absence of inflammation coagulopathy (healthy control, n 10), or presence a confirmed blood...

Late diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease (LDHD) may carry a poor prognosis. Its definition remains unclear and its implication on HD-related core outcomes has not been fully reported. A single-center 20-year series was reviewed to include HD with follow-up 1 year or more post pull-through (PT) aged 5 years older. We investigated six derived from NETS1HD study by comparing the groups dichotomized four time points using age at (44-week gestation, 6 months, year, 3 years). Following...

Most Hirschsprung's disease (HD) are diagnosed in young children with increased risk ("red flag"). Older (>6 months) require open rectal biopsy (ORB) its own impact on and resources. We investigated if "red flag", age, sex used combination could exclude HD. "Red flags" factors associated HD, including neonatal bowel obstruction, genetic association, failure of passage meconium <48 hours, infantile constipation, distension vomiting, or family history. All biopsies (2015-2018) were reviewed...

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background</bold>: In middle-income countries, healthcare systems face unique challenges in ensuring timely antenatal detection of congenital abnormalities that require paediatric surgical intervention. Early can significantly improve outcomes, yet resource constraints often limit access to diagnostic technologies. This study evaluates the rate referred services three Malaysian tertiary centres and examines its effect on maternal anxiety. <bold>Methods</bold>: A...
