The Food and Drug Administration recently approved the use of palivizumab (pal-vizh-mäb), an intramuscularly administered monoclonal antibody preparation. Recommendations for its are based on a large, randomized study demonstrating 55% reduction in risk hospitalization attributable to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections high-risk pediatric patients. Infants children with chronic lung disease (CLD), formerly designated bronchopulmonary dysplasia, as well prematurely born infants...
Perforated necrotizing enterocolitis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in premature infants, the optimal treatment uncertain. We designed this multicenter randomized trial to compare outcomes primary peritoneal drainage with laparotomy bowel resection preterm infants perforated enterocolitis.We randomly assigned 117 (delivered before 34 weeks gestation) birth weights less than 1500 g at 15 pediatric centers undergo or resection. Postoperative care was standardized. The outcome...
Summary Guidelines on hereditary spherocytosis (HS) published in 2004 (Bolton‐Maggs et al , 2004) are here replaced to reflect changes current opinion the surgical management, (particularly indications for concomitant splenectomy with cholecystectomy children mild HS, and those asymptomatic gallstones). Further potential long term hazards of now recognised. Advances have been made our understanding biochemistry red cell membrane which underpins choice tests. Biochemical assays membranes...
Interleukin-10 (IL-10) signaling genes are attractive inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) candidate as IL-10 restricts intestinal inflammation, polymorphisms have been associated with IBD in genome-wide association studies, and mutations receptor (IL-10R) reported immunodeficient children severe infantile-onset IBD. Our objective was to determine if IL-10R were early-onset (EO-IBD) very-early-onset (VEO-IBD).Candidate-gene analysis of IL10RA IL10RB performed after initial sequencing an...
In Brief Background: The surgical management of Hirschsprung's disease (HD) has evolved from the original 3-stage approach to recent introduction minimal-access single-stage techniques. We reviewed early results transanal Soave pullthrough 6 centers use it. Methods: clinical course all children with HD undergoing a 1-stage between 1995 and 2002 were reviewed. Children preliminary stoma or total colonic excluded. Results: There 141 patients. Mean time diagnosis surgery was 32 days, mean age...
Since 1967, 40 patients with hydatid disease of the liver have been treated at our hospital. Diagnosis was made using clinical criteria, serology, skin tests, and imaging techniques. Thirty-five were operated upon. In 18 cyst uncomplicated (Group I), in 17 infected or communicated biliary tract II). Three forms surgical treatment used: A) evacuation, scolicidal irrigation, primary closure, B) external drainage, C) complete partial resection. Mebendazole used six patients, four whom also...
