Home care support is beneficial for children needing mechanical ventilation, when clinically stable.A retrospective analysis was carried out of the long-term home ventilation management a pediatric population with chronic respiratory failure composed 20 ventilator-dependent categorized according to age, diagnosis and support. Age groups consisted 10% under 1 year, 30% between 2 5 years, 6 12 older than years. Diagnostic categories included myopathic disorder, n = 5; congenital central...
BackgroundVery few studies describe factors associated with COVID-19 diagnosis in children.AimWe here characteristics and risk for children tested 20 paediatric centres across Italy.MethodsWe included cases aged 0-18 years between 23 February 24 May 2020. Our primary analysis focused on because of symptoms/signs suggestive COVID-19.ResultsAmong 2,494 tested, 2,148 (86.1%) had symptoms COVID-19. Clinical presentation confirmed besides fever (82.4%) respiratory signs or (60.4%) also...
Importance Ileocolic intussusception is an important cause of intestinal obstruction in children. Reduction ileocolic using air or fluid enema the standard care. This likely distressing procedure usually performed without sedation analgesia, but practice variation exists. Objective To characterize prevalence opioid analgesia and assess their association with perforation failed reduction. Design, Setting, Participants cross-sectional study reviewed medical records children aged 4 to 48 months...
We studied the prevalence and significance of antibodies to hepatitis C virus (HCV) in patients staff from 3 dialysis units, using a 2nd generation assay (2nd g.a.; Ortho HCV). Of 277 patients, 151 (55%) were positive by 85 (31%) 1st g.a. Significant associations with anti-HCV carrier status were: blood transfusions, retrospective finding elevated ALT duration treatment, independently transfusions. 74 members, 5 Our data suggest that is more sensitive detecting HCV exposure units significant...
Darbepoetin alfa has a longer half-life than epoetin-(EPO) or beta, allowing administration at less frequent intervals for the treatment of renal anemia. The aim present analysis was to evaluate efficacy and tolerability an every-2-week (Q2W) schedule darbepoetin in large cohort dialysis patients.Data were combined from eight similarly designed 24-week phase 3b European studies, which patients receiving EPO beta once-weekly converted Q2W alfa. dosage titrated maintain hemoglobin (Hb) between...
Listeria monocytogenes is a facultative anerobic, gram-positive bacillus that isolated from the soil, vegetables, and wild or domestic animals. infection usually found in older adults, immunocompromised patients, pregnant women, newborns, whereas it rare healthy infants children. may cause meningitis, meningoencephalitis, brain abscess, pyogenic arthritis, osteomyelitis, liver abscess The course of meningoencephalitis by often severe even fatal. Complications such as acute hydrocephalus,...
Summary Achondroplasia can result in respiratory difficulty early infancy, from anatomical abnormalities such as mid‐facial hypoplasia and/or adenotonsillar hypertrophy, leading to obstructive apnea, or pathophysiological changes occurring nasopharyngeal glossal muscle tone, related neurological (foramen magnum hypoglossal canal problems, hydrocephalus), central apnea. More often, the two components (central and obstructive) are both evident mixed Polysomnographic recording should be used...
: Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are a leading cause of pediatric emergency department (PED) visits, especially in children under five. These primarily viral, complicating diagnosis and management. This study assesses the impact point-of-care (POC) rapid diagnostic tests for respiratory viruses on clinical economic outcomes PED setting.
We present a case of 4-month-old girl referred to the emergency department with provisional diagnosis acute life-threatening event recent episode heart block and history long-lasting fever. Soon after admission, child suddenly deteriorated rapidly; she became pulseless complete died despite intensive resuscitation efforts. Postmortem examination showed coronary arteritis aneurysmal dilatation thrombosis, revealing atypical Kawasaki disease. With this presentation, we discuss importance early...
Background Despite evidence showing that the intranasal and sublingual routes are safe effective in providing analgesia, no data available about their day-to-day use emergency department (ED). The aim of this study was to assess frequency routes, clinical characteristics patients receiving analgesia through these routes. Methods A multicentre performed EDs participating Pain Paediatric Emergency Room research group. It included a survey retrospective collection which medical records all who...
