Pediatric obesity management strategies suffer from a high rate of dropout and persistence weight excess, despite the use new tools, such as automated mobile technology (MT). We aimed to compare efficacy two 6-month personalized MT protocols in terms better engagement, adherence follow-up visits improved anthropometric lifestyle parameters. contacts consisted three personalized/not What’s App® self-monitoring or challenge messages per week. Messages, sent by dedicated coach were inserted...
The term non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) appears unfitting both in adults and children. As obesity metabolic syndrome play a relevant pathogenic role, an international group of adults’ experts has proposed to rename this condition (dysfunction)-associated (MAFLD). While new more appropriate useful definition mostly been met with good reactions adults, it may present tangled path pediatrics. Here we further stress the recommendations North American European Societies for Pediatric...
Abstract Background Brain injury in hereditary hemoglobinopathies is commonly attributed to anemia-related relative hypoperfusion terms of impaired oxygen blood supply. Supratentorial and infratentorial vascular watershed regions seem be especially vulnerable, but data are very scarce. Aims We investigated a large beta-thalassemia sample with arterial spin labeling order characterize regional perfusion changes their correlation phenotype anemia severity. Methods performed multicenter...
Hypertransaminasemia in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) is reported to be transient. Here, we describe a child an atypically protracted course of liver tests abnormalities and review the inherent literature. The patient was hospitalized at age 7-months for isolated hypertransaminasemia detected during classical KD diagnosed 3 months before, persistent since then. clinical evolution had been favorable, rapid response acetylsalicylic acid intravenous immunoglobulins. Liver enzymes however...
Introduction COVID-19 in newborns is a variable disease that remains relatively understudied. In symptomatic newborns, infection may progress with subtle or non-specific clinical and laboratory findings. Lung ultrasound (LUS) can serve as valuable imaging tool for evaluating lung damage caused by COVID-19, all without radiation exposure. Additionally, the long-term effects of neonatal population are still inadequately investigated. Population Methods A retrospective cohort study was...
Abstract Background and Aims We describe the relationship between overweight obesity Hypertension on ABPM. Method conducted a cross-sectional study using database of patients aged 6-16 years, who had undergone 24h ABPM from December 2002 through 2016. were performed validated device Spacelab 90217. Were evaluated MAP, daytime nocturnal systolic diastolic load, MAP Systolic Diastolic. Subjects grouped by BMI Z-score into (>1<2), obese (BMI >2<3) severe >3)....
