In rare instances, pediatric SARS-CoV-2 infection results in a novel immunodysregulation syndrome termed multisystem inflammatory children (MIS-C). We compared MIS-C immunopathology with severe COVID-19 adults. does not result pneumocyte damage but is associated vascular endotheliitis and gastrointestinal epithelial injury. MIS-C, the cytokine release characterized by IFNγ type I interferon. Persistence of patrolling monocytes differentiates from COVID-19, which dominated HLA-DRlo classical...
Abstract Background and purpose Invasively measured right ventricle (RV) to pulmonary arterial coupling (RVPAc) quantifies RV performance within the context of its afterload but requires cardiac catheterization thereby limiting widespread use. We sought compare a volumetric non-invasive RVPAc parameter in contemporary cohort children adults with repaired tetralogy Fallot (rToF), investigate impact regurgitation (PR) outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO), correlate exercise capacity. Methods...
We present a paediatric case of refractory headaches secondary to nickel hypersensitivity after percutaneous atrial septal defect device closure with the rare sequela premature canities (greying hair) that has not yet been reported in literature. This prompted surgical removal device. After device, all symptoms including and resolved. Case: An 8-year-old girl who presented headache, pruritus, greying hair an (ASD) for right ventricular volume overload.1.To develop differential diagnosis...
Abstract Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from pulmonary (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly commonly associated with severe but reversible ventricular (LV) dysfunction. We present an ALCAPA case persisting failure inability to wean off ventilator and inotropes after successful reimplantation, in whom banding enabled bridging myocardial recovery. Pulmonary may be considered as bridge-to-recovery selected cases dysfunction ALCAPA-repair.
