<b>Background:</b> Children who survive very low birth weight (VLBW) without major disability have a high prevalence of learning difficulty, attention deficit, and dyspraxia. <b>Aims:</b> To determine whether difficulty in children with VLBW is associated structural brain abnormalities. <b>Methods:</b> A total 87 (aged 15–16 years) history (<1500 g) eight age matched full term controls been studied detailed magnetic resonance scans. Volume measurements the caudate nuclei hippocampal...
<h3>AIM</h3> To determine whether neurological deficits are associated with structural anomalies of the brain in very low birthweight (VLBW) infants subsequent learning disorders but without cerebral palsy, or other factors, such as poor early growth, responsible. <h3>METHODS</h3> Eighty seven VLBW and eight term controls who had been examined at school between ages 12 13 years, cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans 15–17 years age. <h3>RESULTS</h3> Thirty (42.5%) children...
<h3>Background:</h3> Very preterm infants are at risk of poor growth and neurodevelopmental outcome. Illness difficulties overcoming the challenges feeding these often lead to undernutrition in first few weeks. <h3>Objective:</h3> To explore relationships between early nutrition, post-natal head growth, quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) developmental outcome year among born before 29 weeks9 gestation. <h3>Design:</h3> Infants gestation were randomised receive hyperalimented or...
Posterior fossa syndrome (PFS) is an important complication of posterior surgery in children. The pathophysiology this condition remains unclear, but there evidence implicating surgical injury the proximal efferent cerebellar pathway (pECP) and vermis to PFS. We aimed evaluate if diffusion abnormalities involving these structures on final intraoperative MRI can predict development Diffusion-weighted imaging from 31 resections were anonymized evaluated for dentate nucleus, superior peduncle,...

Abstract Background Intra-abdominal abscess remains a significant cause of morbidity following appendicectomy. In children, little emphasis has been placed on the non-invasive management this complication using antibiotic therapy alone. This study reviews experience paediatric surgical department in managing arising after Methods Hospital records all children undergoing appendicectomy between January 1992 and 1997 were reviewed retrospectively. Results Some 1024 underwent over 5-year period....
<h3>OBJECTIVE</h3> To investigate the use of a calcium infusion test in diagnosis and localisation insulin secreting tumours children. <h3>PATIENTS</h3> Three patients with persistent hypoglycaemia infancy (PHHI). <h3>PROCEDURE</h3> During planned selective coeliac mesenteric arteriography, serial samples were taken from catheter right hepatic vein for measurement following injection gluconate. <h3>RESULTS</h3> In all three children, intra-arterial stimulation produced significant rise...
Summary: Ultrasonography was undertaken in nine children with late presenting acute osteomyelitis, four typical superficial cellulitis, and a soft tissue abscess. Ultrasound distinguished between abscess, subperiosteal The abscesses were confirmed at operation, abscess also detected the child deep periosseous cellulitis. particularly useful confirming existence of localizing it precisely diffuse swelling tenderness limb owing to late-acute osteomyelitis. Surgical drainage pus can be avoided...
<h3>Abstract</h3> As COVID-19 cases resurge in the United States, understanding complex interplay between human behavior, disease transmission, and non-pharmaceutical interventions during pandemic could provide valuable insights to focus future public health efforts. Cell-phone mobility data offers a modern measurement instrument investigate behavior at an unprecedented scale. We collected, aggregated, anonymized by SafeGraph Inc. which measures how populations census-block-group geographic...

An 8-year-old girl with right-sided congenital deafness was investigated for impaired movement of the right shoulder. A frontal X-ray chest and upper abdomen (figure 1) demonstrated a levoconvex cervicothoracic scoliosis multi-level hemivertebrae. There also wall abnormality, fusion ribs on side. The scapula noted to lie in an abnormally high …
