Background Despite the discovery of CSF and serum diagnostic autoantibodies in autoimmune encephalitis, there are still very limited biomarkers for monitoring purposes children with inflammatory or brain disease. The cause encephalitis is unknown up to a third cohorts, it important differentiate infective from given therapeutic implications. Aim To study cytokines chemokines as active neuroinflammation, assess their role differentiating demyelinating, autoimmune, viral encephalitis. Methods...
Bilateral basal ganglia abnormalities on MRI are observed in a wide variety of childhood disorders. pattern recognition can enable rationalization investigations and also complement clinical molecular findings, particularly confirming genomic findings enabling new gene discovery. A approach children with bilateral brain was undertaken this international multicentre cohort study. Three hundred five scans belonging to 201 34 different disorders were rated using standard radiological scoring...
Background Neonatal sepsis is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in neonatal intensive care units. The volume blood taken for culture remains one most important factors isolating microorganisms. Objectives To evaluate impact intervention on submitted to identify influencing as determined by phlebotomist. Methods Blood was weighing bottle before immediately after inoculation. A 3-month preintervention audit revealed that 126/130 samples (96.9%), suboptimal. Multiple measures were...
Objectives Pediatric patients who are critically unwell require rapid access to central vasculature for administration of life-saving medications and fluids. The intraosseous (IO) route is a well-described method accessing the circulation. There paucity data surrounding use IO in neonatal pediatric retrieval. aim this study was review frequency, complications, efficacy insertion Methods A retrospective cases referred emergency transfer service, New South Wales over epoch 2006 2020. Medical...
