Early treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is necessary to help reduce the risk of coronary artery abnormalities, such as aneurysms and alleviate symptoms, in Kawasaki disease. Some patients, however, do not respond an initial dose IVIG require additional doses. Prediction these nonresponders may be assistance altering therapy make it more effective. The Egami score has been validated Japanese population predict but shown ineffective US populations. This study evaluates a Midwest...
The use of ventricular assist devices (VADs) in children with restrictive (RCM) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) remains rare. We describe the outcomes patients RCM HCM supported by VAD Advanced Cardiac Therapies Improving Outcomes Network (ACTION) registry from March 2012 to December 2024. Thirty-four were identified: 20 left-sided (LVAD), 13 biventricular (BiVAD), 1 total artificial heart (TAH). Median age at implant was 2.5 years (0.3–17.5), weight 11.8 kg (4.5–81.8), body surface...
Purpose: Treatment protocols using the Turco and Cincinnati incisions are widely used for surgical correction of clubfoot deformity. However, it is unclear which approach leads to fewer wound problems. We therefore sought determine treatment method led a lower incidence complications. Study Design: A retrospective chart review 217 consecutive patients (308 feet) who underwent primary posteromedial release idiopathic under age 24 months via either modified or methods was document...
The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) serves various roles in the developing central nervous system (CNS), from neurogenesis to lifelong cognitive functions. Changes CSF composition due inflammation can impact brain function. We recently identified an abnormal cytokine signature embryonic (eCSF) following maternal immune activation (MIA), a mouse model of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). hypothesized that MIA leads other alterations eCSF and employed untargeted metabolomics profile changes metabolome...
Objective: Kawasaki Disease (KD) is one of the most common vasculitides childhood. Its precise pathophysiology, however, not very well understood. KD occurs frequently in southeastern Asian, particularly Japanese, populations and, thus, has been described extensively this population. The American population markedly different, having a significantly greater degree racial hetero geneity. There paucity data regarding differences among different races This study characterizes and compares...
Kawasaki disease is the most common cause of acquired cardiac in developed countries. While acute complications have been identified, there limited data available on chronic disease. This review explores long-term psychosocial, renal dermatologic and Increased understanding these sequelae will allow for early identification management conditions a unique population that yet poorly understood.
