Background: The aim of the study was to document cardiovascular clinical findings, cardiac imaging, and laboratory markers in children presenting with novel multisystem inflammatory syndrome associated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Methods: This real-time internet-based survey has been endorsed by Association for European Paediatric Congenital Cardiologists Working Groups Cardiac Imaging Cardiovascular Intensive Care. Children 0 18 years age admitted a hospital between...
We performed a review of published case studies osteomyelitis associated with cat-scratch disease to consolidate existing information on clinical presentation, diagnostic tools, therapy, and outcome, as well presenting disseminated in 12-year-old female skull spleen involvement.A search for articles indexed PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar was the terms "Bartonella," "bone," "osteomyelitis," "osteolytic," "cat-scratch disease" limited immunocompetent pediatric population English.51 cases were...
Background: The aim of the study was to document cardiovascular clinical findings, cardiac imaging and laboratory markers in children presenting with novel multisystemic inflammatory syndrome associated COVID-19. Methods: A real-time internet based survey sent via member mailing database for Association European Paediatric Congenital Cardiologists (AEPC) working groups Cardiac Imaging Cardiovascular Intensive Care member. Inclusion criteria 0-18 years admitted hospital between March 1 June...
To evaluate early and long-term results of surgical treatment aortic coarctation (CoAo) in infants children.A retrospective clinical review patients less than 18 years with CoAo, undergoing surgery between 1995 2015. Data were retrieved from our institutional database, to identify preoperative postoperative characteristics. Statistical analysis was performed by bivariate, Cox's, logistic regression analysis.Three hundred forty-one consecutive (male/female: 192/149; the median age at 25 days;...
The Fontan procedure is the palliative for single ventricle physiology. Pulmonary resistance plays a key role in success of this operation. There are conflicting data concerning impact pulmonary vasodilators on survival and functional capacity among patients.The aim retrospective, single-center, nonrandomized study was to investigate potential effect vasculature patients.Twenty-seven patients with physiology were enrolled. Eighteen treated vasodilators: 9 after Glenn or just completion...
Background: Pulmonary artery banding (PAB) is reported as an innovative strategy for children with end-stage heart failure (ESHF) to bridge transplantation or recovery. We report our early experience PAB evaluate outcomes, indications, and limitations. Materials Methods: This a single-center prospective clinical study, including infants admitted ESHF owing dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) preserved right ventricular function after of maximal conventional therapy. All patients underwent...
Preterm newborns undergo hemodynamic challenges in the postnatal period. The aim of this study was to investigate myocardial mechanics changes period preterm infants using speckle tracking echocardiography (STE).Thirty-nine ≤34 weeks' gestation underwent cardiac ultrasound evaluation during first 96 hours life. A repeated echocardiogram at 3 weeks age performed. Echocardiographic assessment involved left ventricular ejection fraction, mitral E/A ratio, S' and E' velocities, E/E' tricuspid...
Objectives: To evaluate the ability to predict central venous pressure by ultrasound measured inferior vena cava and aortic diameters in a PICU population assess interoperator concordance. Design: Noninterventional observational study. Setting: of tertiary-care academic center. Patients: Eighty-eight pediatric patients (0–16 yr old) with catheter place were studied. Sixty-nine percent received positive-pressure ventilation. Interventions: None. Measurements Main Results: An experienced...
Ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum (AFA) is a rare congenital anomaly consisting of partial or complete fusion the eyelid margins. It usually an isolated and benign malformation but its presence should alert neonatologist because it can be rarely associated to other important multisystemic disorders. We report case newborn presenting with AFA at birth, treated in first day life.
