OBJECTIVES: In this report, we compare weight loss, comorbidity resolution, nutritional abnormalities, and quality of life between younger older adolescents after metabolic bariatric surgery. METHODS: From March 2007 to December 2011, 242 (≤19 years age) who underwent surgery at 5 clinical centers in the United States were enrolled prospective, multicenter, long-term outcome study Teen–Longitudinal Assessment Bariatric Surgery. Outcome data from (13–15 years; n = 66) (16–19 162) participants...
Abstract Background While ultrasound ( US ), given its lack of ionizing radiation, is currently the recommended initial imaging study choice for diagnosis appendicitis in pediatric and young adult patients, it does have significant shortcomings. time‐intensive operator dependent results frequent inconclusive studies, thus necessitating further admission observation or repeat clinical visits. A rapid focused magnetic resonance MRI ) has been shown to definitive sensitivity specificity,...
The aim of this study was to test the efficacy low doses pamidronate in increasing bone mineral density (BMD) non-ambulatory children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP). Twenty-three (12 females, 11 males; mean age 10y [SD 5y], range 4y 1 mo-17 y mo) severe spastic quadriplegic CP BMD were recruited from a multidisciplinary clinic. Severity graded at Level IV (n=10) V (n=13) using Gross Motor Function Classification System. Patients received intravenous (4.12 mg/kg/y, maximum 45 mg/d)...
BACKGROUND: Patients with moyamoya disease and progressive neurological deterioration despite previous revascularization pose a major treatment challenge. Many have exhausted typical sources for bypass or ischemia in areas that are difficult to reach an indirect pedicled flap. Omental-cranial transposition has been effective, but sparingly used technique because of its associated morbidity. OBJECTIVE: We refined laparoscopic method harvesting omental flap preserves gastroepiploic arterial...
Neuroblastoma is a deadly pediatric solid tumor with infrequent recurrent somatic mutations. Particularly, the pathophysiology of tumors without MYCN amplification remains poorly defined. Utilizing an unbiased approach, we performed gene set enrichment analysis RNA-sequencing data from 498 patients neuroblastoma and revealed differentially overexpressed signature in nonamplified neuroblastomas telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) overexpression coordinated activation oncogenic signaling...
