Smaller cerebellar volumes in very low-birthweight (VLBW) infants at term have been related to adverse cognitive outcomes, and this study evaluated whether these were associated with a growth body composition during hospital stays.We prospectively recruited 42 VLBW from an Italian neonatal unit between January 2013 August 2015. Cerebellar measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) air-displacement plethysmography, respectively, 40 weeks of gestational age anthropometric nutritional data...
High genetic heterogeneity in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) increases likelihood of efficient immune response to pathogens and tumours. As measure HLA diversity, evolutionary divergence (HED) has been shown predict tumours immunotherapy haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) adults. We retrospectively investigated association HED with outcomes 153 paediatric/young adults patients, treated for malignant disorders HSCT from 9-10/10 HLA-matched unrelated donors. was calculated as...
The medical records of 44 pediatric patients who underwent allogeneic transplantation from 2011 to 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Magnetic resonance imaging was used measure iron concentrations in the liver, spleen, pancreas and bone. These divided into two groups, 18 with non-elevated (< 100 μmol/g; Group 1) liver concentration before 26 elevated (> 2) . We compared transplant-related outcomes groups. Iron overload a negative prognostic risk factor for sinusoidal obstruction syndrome...
Severe hypereosinophilia (HE) in children is rare, and its etiological diagnosis challenging. We describe a case of 30-month-old boy, living rural area, who was admitted to our Clinic with 7-day history fever severe hypereosinophilia. A comprehensive diagnostic workup could not identify the cause this condition. On day 6, rapidly increasing eosinophil count (maximum value 56,000/mm3), risk developing hypereosinophilic syndrome, patient's prompted us undertake an empiric treatment...

Whereas many studies have addressed the risk of organ dysfunction following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), little is known about pancreatic susceptibility in this setting. We aimed to investigate effect iron overload (IO) and total body irradiation (TBI) on function children undergoing HSCT. retrospectively evaluated admitted between 2012-2016 fulfilling criteria: normal concentration (PIC), regular before HSCT, availability abdominal magnetic resonance imaging with...
