Pediatric acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO) outcomes are highly dependent on the disease severity. Recently, A-SCORE and C-SCORE, were proposed as predictors of an complicated course chronic morbidity, respectively. The purpose this study was to externally validate C-SCORE at a single institution.This IRB-approved retrospective chart review included AHO patients admitted tertiary referral hospital between October 1, 2015 December 31, 2019. inclusion criteria ages 0 18 clinical response...
Several methods are available to estimate leg lengths at maturity facilitate the determination of timing epiphysiodesis. We compared Paley multiplier, Sanders and White-Menelaus in an epiphysiodesis-aged cohort. assessed intra- interrater reliability for skeletal stages Greulich Pyle atlas age.Actual growth was recorded healthy, unoperated femoral tibial segments from epiphysiodesis database. The predicted actual were with use multiplier methods, age, using stages. Intra- a separate group 76...
A uracil-to-cytosine mutation at nucleotide position 472 of oral poliovirus vaccine type 3 (OPV3) contributes to the development vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP). To analyze OPV3 shedding patterns, we previously used multistep method mutant analysis by PCR and enzyme cleavage (MAPREC). This involves conventional reverse transcription-PCR detect OPV3, followed a restriction digest quantify reversion. Real-time detects quantifies nucleic acid as occurs avoids postreaction...
Background: Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is a congenital disorder resulting in fibrous bands that can cause limb anomalies, amputations, and deformities. Clubfoot has been reported up to 50% of patients with ABS. The purpose this study compare treatment characteristics outcomes clubfoot ABS those idiopathic treated the Ponseti method. Methods: An Institution Review Board (IRB) approved retrospective review prospectively gathered data was performed at single pediatric hospital over 20-year...
Case: Three cases of pediatric patients with knee injuries from cactus thorns are included. These variable in presentation ranging acute inflammatory responses to permanent limb deformity secondary growth arrest. Definitive treatment also varied widely nonoperative conservative management multiple arthroscopic and open surgeries. Conclusion: Pediatric thorn have presentations, requiring a high level clinical suspicion for diagnosis prevent damage.
Constriction band syndrome (CBS) is a rare condition where fibrous bands constrict one or more parts of the fetus with varying manifestations such as autoamputation, acrosyndactyly, and neuropathy. However, isolated extremity fractures in setting constriction are even rare, only two reported cases literature. There few guidelines on management CBS due to small case numbers, variability presentation between patients, lack consensus etiology pathogenesis. In this series, we describe three...
