Background Information is evolving on liver disease in pediatric patients with Fontan physiology. The purpose of this investigation to evaluate the spectrum a population physiology and transient elastography ( TE ) as noninvasive marker disease. Methods Results We prospectively enrolled all children All underwent comprehensive evaluation including enzymes (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate gamma‐glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase), transaminase platelet ratio index, albumin,...
Objective. Pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDIs) remain important therapeutic options for obstructive lung diseases. The ability to instruct and evaluate inhaler technique is a crucial skill that all medical professionals should possess; unfortunately, many lack proficiency with pMDIs. We aimed determine if brief education interventions of differing modalities can positively affect students’ skills over the long term. Methods. baseline students first year residents use pMDIs was scored...
Abstract Background Facilitating communication between adolescents and HCP outside of appointments may enhance patient experience outcomes. The purpose this study was to determine whether SMS enhances the healthcare experience, QoL, medication adherence in adolescent SOT patients. Methods This a prospective observational an platform (WelTel Inc) for patients aged 12–19 years. QoL assessed before after using PedsQL™ Transplant Module. Medication with frequency therapeutic tacrolimus levels...
Background Diuretics are used to manage congestive heart failure in infants with congenital disease. Adult data indicate that preoperative diuretic use increases the risk of cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI). We have sought understand if diuretics CS-AKI. Methods and Results This is a single-center retrospective study (1-12 months) who had CS requiring cardiopulmonary bypass between 2013 2018. The diagnosis severity CS-AKI was defined according Kidney Disease Improving...
Agreement between parent and adolescent ratings of executive function (EF) is not known in adolescents with solid organ transplant (SOT), even though pressing concerns about EF deficits are being raised this population. The current study investigated SOT using self report. Twenty-five (M = 15.51 years) their completed a behavior rating scale assessing within everyday context the Behavior Rating Inventory Executive Function, Second Edition (BRIEF2). Parents demonstrated moderate to excellent...
Abstract Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries is commonly associated with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. We describe a case congenitally and previous surgical septal defect repair recurrent The patient underwent hybrid procedure to stent tract, which was successful no re-intervention through 3 years follow-up.
Pacing is relatively uncommon in the neonatal period, with 2 main indications being either acquired postoperative complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) or congenital antibody-mediated CAVB.1 The detrimental effect of pacing resulting dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has been increasingly recognized infants CAVB requiring pacemaker implantation.2,3 Minimizing frequency ventricular and use cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) have demonstrated to be effective interventions invoke reverse...
A 14-year-old girl with a history of partial atrioventricular septal defect cleft mitral valve, repaired at 6 months age, is referred to our pediatric tertiary care hospital from community migrating leg pains and fevers. Leg began week ago in her left thigh dorsal foot. After hospitalization, she develops right calf pain paresthesia the The fluctuates no clear triggers, complains difficulty walking. In peripheral hospital, received dose intravenous (IV) cefazolin before transfer facility for...
