ABSTRACT A 13-year-old boy with a 3-month history of diarrhea was successfully treated for rectal neuroendocrine tumor (NET) using endoscopic submucosal resection ligation (ESMR-L). Rectoscopy revealed in the lower rectum, diagnosed as NET upon pathological examination. ESMR-L resulted complete without complications. Pathological examination confirmed 6-mm low-grade no vascular invasion or positive margins. The patient discharged This case study indicates that can be applied to children,...
Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a chronic disorder characterized by upper abdominal symptoms in the absence of an identifiable organic cause. Although efficacy acotiamide has been demonstrated adults with FD, its effectiveness pediatric patients remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate FD. We conducted retrospective analysis 33 aged <16 years, who received at single children's hospital between August 2013 and March 2022. Symptomatic improvement was observed 57.6% (19/33) one month after...
CASE REPORT A previously healthy 13-year-old adolescent girl presented to our hospital after ingesting 2 neodymium magnets. Gastrointestinal injury was suspected; hence, abdominal radiograph performed assess the location of magnets and complications due foreign body. Radiograph revealed located separately in ascending colon (Figure 1). The following day, were found be attached on 1), we attempted their removal by colonoscopy.Figure 1.: (A) X-rays immediately patient arrived at showed...
Objective: To investigate the usefulness of procalcitonin (PCT) as predictive factors intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)-resistant Kawasaki disease patients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed laboratory data from 215 children with treated IVIG 2014 to 2019. clinical and parameters just before including serum levels PCT respect response. Results: Eventually, 127 patients were analyzed. The median age was 2.4 years. effective in 108 (responders) ineffective 19 (non-responders). Serum...
We explored parameters to predicting the efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy for patients with Kawasaki disease (KD). retrospectively analyzed laboratory data 77 children KD treated IVIG. Data obtained before and within 24 hours after IVIG were compared between responders nonresponders. The white blood cell (WBC) neutrophil counts significantly lower in than nonresponders areas under receiver operating characteristics curves WBC 0.846 0.754, respectively. differed (the...
Carnitine plays an essential role in the transfer of long-chain fatty acids to mitochondria for β-oxidation. No study has characterized carnitine children with Kawasaki disease (KD). The objective this was elucidate characteristics serum free (FC) hospitalized pediatric patients KD.We retrospectively analyzed 45 KD whom FC levels were measured. We investigated clinical and laboratory parameters before intravenous immunoglobulin administered, including levels, according response (IVIG). also...
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>BACKGROUND:</bold> This study aimed to evaluate a recently developed scoring system for managing foreign body ingestion in children. <bold>METHODS:</bold> We foreign-body help residents determine the appropriate course of actionin emergency department. The assessment items included patient's age, mood, and gastrointestinal symptoms, as well type, location, size ingested body. pediatric patients were divided into three categories: observation at home (Class A),...
<title>Abstract</title> Background Accurate assessment of acute appendicitis severity is important for planning treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the utility ultrasound (US) grading classification in assessing children. Methods We retrospectively studied pediatric patients diagnosed with using US. US findings were classified into four grades based on internal structure, and clinical compared among them. also frequency complicated (CA) who underwent early appendectomy (EA). Results In...

In 15 patients with Japanese cedar pollinosis and 10 healthy control subjects, levels of major basic protein (MBP), eosinophil cationic (ECP), arylsulfatase B (As) in the nasal secretions were examined before after challenge pollen extract. The MBP ECP significantly higher 30 min than those (P < 0.005). controls (MBP: P 0.01, ECP: 0.05). level As was controls. These results suggest that eosinophils activate or modify immediate, allergic reaction have a role regulating immunological responses.
To investigate the usefulness of quenching probe polymerase chain reaction (Q-probe PCR) for detection macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP), we retrospectively analyzed clinical course 21 children with MP infection. The rate was 66.7%. duration pyrexia after initial antibiotic treatment longer in patients infection than those macrolide-sensitive Q-probe PCR not significantly different between and -sensitive Antibiotic use based on qPCR may reduce pyrexia. is useful determining...
Abstract Objectives The Yale observation scale (YOS), also called the Acute Illness Observation Scale, was developed to help detect serious illness in febrile children. We conducted this study evaluate clinical utility of YOS for predicting Japanese primary care settings. Method a prospective observational from June 2015 January 2018. enrolled patients younger than 10 years, who attended centre at Aichi Medical University Hospital and had recorded scores. Serious illnesses included invasive...
Abstract Background: Carnitine plays an essential role in transfer of long-chain fatty acids to mitochondria for subsequent β-oxidation. No studies date have characterized carnitine children with KD. The objective this study is investigate the characteristics serum free (FC) hospitalized pediatric patients Kawasaki disease (KD). Methods: In total, 45 KD measured levels FC from October 2018 December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. We clinical and laboratory parameters just before...
