Abstract: Improved survival because of advances in neonatal care has resulted an increased number infants at risk for chronic lung disease. Even though the etiology injury is multifactorial, recent animal and clinical data indicate that pulmonary damage depends large part on ventilatory strategies used. Ventilator‐associated was believed to result from use high pressure, thus, term barotraumas. This trauma involve free‐radical damage. Oxidant a serious cause injury. In present study, 110...
Abstract: Improved survival from advances in neonatal care has resulted an increased number of infants at risk for chronic lung disease (CLD). Recently, it was reported that inflammatory mediators such as interleukin (IL)‐1 β , IL‐6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‐ α and IL‐8 are present higher concentrations lavage babies who develop CLD. Previously, we found melatonin reduced the rises proinflammatory cytokines (IL‐6, TNF‐ ) nitrite/nitrate levels serum preterm newborns with respiratory...
Summary Aim To evaluate the effectiveness of a psychological preoperative program in reducing anxiety and promoting compliance pediatric participants with surgical procedures. Methods Fifty children their mothers were subjected to two conditions treatment investigate whether preparation activities psychologist's support during all phases operatory iter (group 1) as efficient mothers' child's increasing distraction 2). The observed child was assessed using mYPAS ; compliant behaviors...
Testicular torsion or of the spermatic cord is one most serious urological conditions. It causes testicular injury, which potentially leads to male subfertility. The turning and structures around themselves results in biochemical histological changes; however, following detorsion, tissues undergo reperfusion that more severe damage than induced by ischemia. Since primary are reactive oxygen species production, an increase intra-mitochondrial calcium concentration increased rate cellular...
Transition of care (TOC; from childhood into adulthood) patients with anorectal malformations (ARM) and Hirschsprung disease (HD) ensures continuation for these patients. The aim this international study was to assess the current status TOC adult (AC) programs ARM HD.A survey developed by members EUPSA, ERN eUROGEN, ERNICA, including patient representatives (ePAGs), comprising four domains: general information, questions about transition adulthood, disease-specific regarding AC programs....
The current study was designed to characterize the process of nitric oxide (NO) and peroxynitrite generation through determination nitrotyrosine concentration in dilated veins varicoceles adolescents.Ten adolescents with a median age 13 years (range 12-17) affected by left idiopathic varicocele (grade II III) were studied. Whole blood samples withdrawn from peripheral vein at time induction anaesthesia, spermatic before ligation. Peripheral five undergoing minor surgical procedures used as...
Varicocele is one of the main causes infertility in men. Oxidative stress and consequently apoptosis activation contribute to varicocele pathogenesis, worsening its prognosis. Natural products, such as lycopene, showed antioxidant anti-inflammatory effects several experimental models, also testes. In this study we investigated lycopene an model varicocele. Male rats (n = 14) underwent sham operations were administered with vehicle 7) or 7; 1 mg/kg i.p., daily). Another group animals surgical...
Many bioactive natural compounds are being increasingly used for therapeutics and nutraceutical applications to counteract male infertility, particularly varicocele. The roles of selenium Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) were investigated in an experimental model varicocele, with particular regard the role NLRP3 inflammasome. Male rats underwent sham operation daily administered vehicle, seleno-L-methionine (Se), PDRN, association Se-PDRN. Another group operated After twenty-eight days,...
Aim Melatonin has been proposed as a premedication alternative to midazolam, preceding anaesthesia induction. However, our knowledge, data concerning interaction between melatonin and intravenous anaesthetic drugs in children are not available. The aim of this prospective, randomized, double‐blind pilot study was investigate the possible effect premedication, comparison on required infusion propofol undergoing surgery. As secondary outcome, oral preoperative sedation level post recovery...
