BackgroundCongenital anomalies are the fifth leading cause of mortality in children younger than 5 years globally. Many gastrointestinal congenital fatal without timely access to neonatal surgical care, but few studies have been done on these conditions low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). We compared outcomes seven most common low-income, middle-income, high-income globally, identified factors associated with mortality.MethodsWe did a multicentre, international prospective cohort...
Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) is common in cirrhosis, leading to cognitive impairment and eye-hand coordination (EHC) alterations. Hyperammonemia plays a key role MHE, contributing motor deficits. Elevated blood ammonia levels impaired EHC correlate with neuropsychiatric dysfunction, yet their direct impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) complex. This study examines the associations between ammonia, EHC, HRQoL, moderating influence sex these associations. Eighty-seven...
We describe the efficacy of dilation ureterovesical junction to treat primary obstructive megaureter.A total 13 patients with megaureter were treated from May 2008 December 2010. Of these 8 diagnosed prenatally and others after a urinary tract infection. Preoperative studies included ultrasonography, voiding cystourethrography despite vesicoureteral reflux diuretic isotopic renogram (mercaptoacetyltriglycine). With patient under general anesthesia, high pressure balloon was performed direct...
In 2017, the European Commission launched 24 Reference Networks (ERNs). ERN eUROGEN is network for urorectogenital diseases and complex conditions, started with 29 full member healthcare providers (HCPs) in 11 countries. It then covered 19 different disease areas distributed over three workstreams (WSs).To provide an overview identify challenges data collection at level of patient population treated by HCPs network.A retrospective cohort study was conducted who were members between 2013...
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury is a major cause of acute renal failure, causing cell death, permanent decrease blood flow, organ dysfunction and chronic kidney disease. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) an autologous product rich in growth factors, therefore able to promote tissue regeneration angiogenesis. This has proven its efficacy multiple studies, but not yet been tested on tissue. The aim this work evaluate whether the application PRP rat kidneys undergoing reduces mid-term damage. A...
Purpose: The aim of our study is to compare the outcomes open and laparoscopic pyeloplasty in children less than 12 months age. Patients Methods: We reviewed all medical charts patients old who underwent from January 2007 February 2013. divided them two groups: Open (OP) (LP). following data were analyzed: age, sex, weight, US measurements, operative time, hospital stay, complications, success rate. Quantitative analyzed with Student t test or Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square Fisher for...
Patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) may show mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The neurological functions affected remain unclear. aims were to: (1) Characterize the neuropsychological alterations in NAFLD patients; (2) assess prevalence of evaluated; (3) develop a new score for sensitive and rapid MCI detection NAFLD; (4) differences features between patients (NAFL) steatohepatitis (NASH); (5) compare cirrhotic MCI. Fifty-nine 53 controls performed psychometric tests...
Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) in cirrhotic patients is associated with specific changes parameters of the immune system reflecting a more pro-inflammatory environment than without MHE. The aims this work were to assess effects rifaximin treatment MHE on: (1) MHE; (2) intermediate (CD14++CD16+) monocytes; (3) expression early activation marker CD69 T lymphocytes; (4) autoreactive CD4+CD28− (5) differentiation CD4+ lymphocytes Th follicular and Th22; (6) serum IgG levels; (7) levels...
To identify whether pop-off mechanisms act as protective factors against chronic or end-stage renal disease in patients with posterior urethral valves.A retrospective cohort study of valves treated at a tertiary care children's hospital was carried out. Demographic, clinical, analytical, and radiological variables were collected. Considered were: unilateral high-grade vesicoureteral reflux ipsilateral dysplasia without involvement the contralateral kidney, urinoma, prenatal urinary ascites,...
The aim of the present study was to test hypothesis that ribs shape changes in patients with OI are more relevant for respiratory function than thoracic spine shape. We used 3D geometric morphometrics quantify rib cage morphology and controls, investigate its relationship forced vital capacity (FVC) expiratory volume 1 s (FEV1), expressed as absolute value percentage predicted (% pred). Regression analyses on full sample showed a significant relation between FEV1, FVC % pred whereas not...
Abstract We report on the successful use of fetoscopic surgery to treat a case prolapsed ureterocele in female fetus. At 21 weeks' gestation, double renal system with an intravesical obstructing bladder outlet was diagnosed, causing severe megacystis, bilateral hydronephrosis and progressive oligohydramnios. Ultrasound evaluation following referral our center confirmed pelvic calyceal dilatation, but amniotic fluid volume normal not visualized bladder. Instead, cystic mass within external...
Objective.To define the types of overactive bladder (OAB) patient enuresis and study daytime treatment response.Materials methods.A prospective, multi-center OAB patients with treated anticholinergics or neuromodulation over 3 months from 2019 to 2021 was carried out.Variables achieved voiding calendar PLUTSS (Pediatric Lower Urinary Tract Score System), as well enuresis-related variables, were collected.Two groups created -primary (PE) secondary (SE).Partial enuretic response (PER) defined...
Objectives To study related factors and clinical significance of supranormal function in paediatric patients with pelvi‐ureteric junction obstruction, to predict which cause renal overestimation. Patients Methods who underwent pyeloplasty from 2012 2017 were prospectively collected. Variables compared between without on 99m Tc‐mercaptoacetyltriglycine scan (supranormal defined as differential [DRF] ≥55%). Univariate, multivariate logistic linear regressions analyses performed. Results Of 100...
