The role of cytokines in relation to clinical manifestations, disease severity, and outcome children with H1N1 virus infection remains thus far unclear. aim this study was evaluate interleukin IL-1 β IL-6 plasma expressions their association findings, infection. We prospectively evaluated 15 controls lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI). Interleukin levels were measured using immunoenzymatic assays. Significantly higher detected all patients compared controls. It is noteworthy mention...
Supernumerary nipples (SNN), or polythelia, are the most common form of accessory mammary tissue malformation. The frequency this condition ranges from 0.2% to 5.6% depending on various factors. This is associated with several anomalies, although association often controversial. aim study was evaluate between SNN and kidney/urinary tract (K/UT) where anomalies taken mean functional disorders, malformations diseases.A case-control performed. evaluated 166 children (case group) referred...
Continuous glucose monitoring using subcutaneous sensors has been validated in adults and children with diabetes, was found to be useful the management of control. We aimed assess feasibility reliability a new continuous system (CGMS) population preterm neonates Clarke error grid (CEG) specifically modified for infants.Preterm infants were recruited within 24 h from delivery. A sensor connected CGMS inserted maintained 6 days. Data collected compared data obtained glucometer. Management...
Drug-induced renal injury represents a frequent clinical entity. The most common drugs associated with acute tubular necrosis are aminoglycosides, amphotericin B, radiocontrast agents, and cyclosporine, but no data exist about the potential toxicity due to anthelmintics administration. Anthelmintics commonly considered quite safe side effects such as gastrointestinal, neurologic, hematologic, or hepatic have been only rarely described. We report 4-year-old boy persistent massive proteinuria...
“Ping-pong” fractures (PPF) are depressed skull typical of newborns. PPF usually result from head injury and, rarely, may cause severe long-term neurological sequelae. The management is still controversial. goal this paper to present a case “spontaneous” ping-pong fracture and review the pertinent literature last 20 years. We report on newborn who presented with parietal at birth. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed excluded brain injuries. Neurosurgical intervention was...
Pneumoperitoneum (PP) is a radiological diagnosis, characterized by the presence of air under diaphragm, that in 90% cases results from perforated viscus while 10% it not associated to perforation, so-called non-surgical or spontaneous PP. Spontaneous PP rare at any paediatric and neonatal age. In population, sporadic have been described, almost invariably following mechanical ventilation. We presented case an extremely low birth weight infant (ELBW) with secondary pneumomediastinum who has...
Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) is a chromosomal disorder characterized by partial deletion of the short arm chromosome 4. We describe girl with de novo unbalanced traslocation t(4;7)(p16.2;p22), associated mild version classical WHS phenotype. She did not present major urinary tract abnormalities but had parenchymal hyperechogenicity at renal ultrasound birth normal scintigraphy. also reduction GFR elevated levels blood urea nitrogen and serum potassium until age 6 months. followed patient...
<b>Background</b> The aims of our study were to evaluate pain perception in epileptic children and establish the influence anticonvulsant drugs on perception. <b>Methods</b> involved 40 children, 30 with epilepsy 10 healthy control subjects. In group not treated 20 assumed a single drug. From all each group, one sample saliva was collected through noninvasive device 15 minutes before (t<sub>0</sub>), during (t<sub>1</sub>), after (t<sub>2</sub>) blood withdrawal, salivary α-amylase activity...
The objective of this study is to compare health conditions schoolchildren receiving aids from the mission Kidane Mehret Integrated Project (KMIP) in city Adwa, Ethiopia, with ones general population.From September, 2008, November, 400 children were randomly selected school inside KMIP and one Adi Abetu. In phase 1, a questionnaire was distributed children's families. 2, underwent physical examination.Girls started weaning on average at 7.3+/-3.9 vs 8.3+/-4.7 months control group (p>0.05);...
