Background Cryoablation for pediatric atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) is favored reducing conduction system injury compared to radiofrequency (RF) ablation. The safety advantage of cryoablation over RF ablation primarily results from studies conducted without a three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping (3D EAM) system. Currently, 3D EAM systems offer precise and efficient guidance, improving outcomes. This study compares using AVNRT treatment. Methods A retrospective...
Norepinephrine (NE)-induced apoptosis in cardiomyocytes is an important cause of heart failure. Previous studies revealed that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved apoptosis. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF), a well-known mediator stimulates apoptosis, not only produced by macrophages but also cardiomyocytes. Until now, the role TNF and its relationship to ROS NE-induced have never been investigated.Neonatal rat were treated with various concentrations NE. Apoptosis was determined...
INTRODUCTION: Biliary atresia is a major cause of extrahepatic obstructive jaundice in neonates. Early Kasai operation the gold standard treatment. In this study, we evaluated effectiveness stool color card screening by using claims data from National Health Insurance Research Database. METHODS: This was retrospective cohort study. Data medical charts all inpatients who were diagnosed with biliary 1996 to 2008 collected Taiwan's Patients received or liver transplant identified Operation...
Kawasaki disease is the leading cause of pediatric acquired cardiac in many industrialized countries. The aim this study was to estimate incidence acute stages Taiwan, by linking diagnosis code medication and comparing differences epidemiological features with those previous reports that used alone.We searched National Health Insurance Research Database from 1997 2010. For International Classification Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) set, all inpatients a main (ICD-9, 446.1) were retrieved....
<b>Background:</b> Epidemics of enterovirus 71 infection have caused the death many children throughout world. Rhombencephalitis, brain stem encephalitis, and heart failure were present in all fatal cases. However, no evidence myocarditis was noted specimens, mechanism remains unknown. <b>Aims:</b> To characterise presentation cardiac complications with rhombencephalitis discuss its pathogenesis. <b>Methods:</b> Ninety one consecutive patients underwent echocardiography. Of these, 17 (nine...
Atrial septal defect (ASD) increases pulmonary to systemic flow ratio (Q p/Q s) which is an important determinant factor for treatment. N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels are correlated with volume overloading of the heart. This study aims explore relationship between Q s and NT-proBNP in children ASD. Between January 2010 December 2023, 464 patients under 20 years old ASD who underwent cardiac catheterization received test were enrolled retrospectively. Baseline...
This study aimed to investigate the impact of work environment, emotional intelligence, and empathy fatigue on nurse presenteeism examine mediating roles intelligence fatigue. employed a cross-sectional research design conducted questionnaire survey from April July 2024 among 1,375 nurses (aged 18–24, 25–34, 35–44, ≥ 45 years) six tertiary hospitals in Henan Province. The included demographic characteristics, Nursing Practice Environment Scale, Emotional Intelligence Empathy Fatigue Stanford...
Sacubitril/valsartan improves heart function in maintenance hemodialysis (HD) patients with failure a reduced ejection fraction of <40% (HFrEF). However, the effect sacubitril/valsartan on vascular access flow (Qa) this population is still unclear. Hemodialysis HFrEF were enrolled and divided into non-sacubitril/valsartan treatment groups received echocardiographic Qa measurements at baseline after 12 months. We compared changes (△Qa) parameters Correlations between △Qa also examined....
Abstract Background Severe dehydration is generally believed to be a cause of significant hyperbilirubinemia in newborn babies. This study aimed analyze the weight loss healthy term infants at 24, 48 and 72 hours after birth predict hours. Methods From January 2007 December 2008, we conducted this retrospective chart review by measuring total bilirubin (transcutaneous serum) 343 healthy, newborns with body more than 2500 g. We then analyzed association between (BWL) (total 15 mg/dL) birth....
Kawasaki disease (KD) is the most common acquired heart among preschool children in industrialized countries. An atopic trend after KD illness has been observed epidemiological studies. This consistent with findings of elevated IgE levels and increased IL-4 patients. However, studies on early allergic association are still limited. study aimed to evaluate between diseases, from infancy school age. Allergic diseases included dermatitis, rhinitis (AR), asthma, urticaria. matched case-control...
