In September 2018, an international meeting of doctors various disciplines, with expertise in the detection and treatment DDH, was held Csolyospalos, Hungary. The aim to achieve consensus on early condition develop a standardized system teaching training for hip ultrasound. There strong agreement that US screening is essential. Specifically Graf technique selected as choice. Universal strongly favored. Screening should be carried out soon possible, but not later than sixth week age....
This consensus document has been prepared by a multidisciplinary group of experts (Paediatricians, Radiologists, Paediatric Orthopaedics) and it is mainly aimed at paediatricians, hospitals primary care providers. We provide recommendations for the early diagnosis treatment Developmental Dysplasia Hip (DDH) indications on its management.
The case is described of a child who presented slight psychomotor retardation and malformative signs, together with an XYY caryotype, died at the age 7 years from medulloblastoma, as could be later confirmed by autoptic examination. relations between chromosomal neoplastic pathology are described.
There is substantial disagreement about several aspects of Developmental Dysplasia the Hip (DDH), including its etiology, policies for detection, and treatment. Introduction hip ultrasound (US) as a diagnostic screening tool, opened new era in field early diagnosis effective In September 2018 an international meeting medical doctors various disciplines, with expertise detection treatment DDH, was held Csolyospalos, Hungary. The aim to arrive at consensus on these topics, develop standardized...
Despite numerous studies demonstrating an association between asthma and many other chronic conditions signs of Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cp) infection, the role Cp in pathogenesis these illness remain still unclear. We investigated prevalence antigen upper airways detectable serum antibodies unselected population 207 9‐yr‐old schoolchildren. also sought presence asthma, or recurrent respiratory symptoms by means questionnaire completed parents. Nasal aspirate, blood sampling allergen skin prick...
Aim: Aiming to offer a diagnostic tool aid examiners with correct hip typing and decision-making about patient management, members of the Board International Interdisciplinary Consensus Committee on DDH Evaluation (ICODE – https://www.icode.expert), introduced cross-platform mobile appli- cation (Android iOS) called “ICODE Hip US Calculator”. Material methods: The examination steps Graf ’s sonography technique were converted into computer code formed basis for development phone application....
<h3>Background and aims</h3> It has been reported that gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) can be induced by exercise, as described in adult subjects; studies children are lacking. We sought whether the presence of acid oesophagus may increase with exercise its potential relationship atopy lung function children. <h3>Methods</h3> recruited 45 patients (M/F: 30/15) aged 11 ± 2.7 years exercise-induced respiratory symptoms; subjects were asked for frequency gastrointestinal symptoms. All did...
Background: Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is often related to recurrent respiratory symptoms. Whether GER accounty for exercise-induced bronchoconstriction remains underdebate. Aims: To compare the gastroesophageal acidity (GE pH) with lung function during exercise in children Methods: In 12 asthmatic and 9 non-asthmatic (aged 5.9 -15.8 yr, M/F 14/7) we assessed spirometry, then started a 24-h GE pH monitoring pH24). second session, they did 6-minutes treadmil-exercise testing followed one...
<h3>Background</h3> Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is an abnormal growth hip structures, regarding both osseous and soft tissues. While different factors are strongly associated overall frequency reported between 1 5 cases per 1000, its aetiology prevalence not well established. <h3>Aim</h3> Aim our study was to assess relationship presence ossification core dysplasia evaluate this disorder among population. <h3>Methods</h3> same examinator performed ultrasonography (US) all...
<h3>Background</h3> Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is related to obesity in children; treatment of could be improved by using either a nutritional and psychotherapeutic strategy. <h3>Aims</h3> To assess the prevalence BED weight trend an overweight or obese pediatric population; evaluate Integrated Therapeutic Approach (ITA) positive group. <h3>Methods</h3> Ninenty-seven subjects (M/F 53/44, mean age 11.0±2.4 yr, range 6.1–16.2) with 8/18) 45/26) undergone physical examination, body weight,...
Summary In two institutions at Rome and Florence we evaluated the clinical sensitivity of Coulter STKR systems using NCCLS standard H20-T for leucocyte differential count in a patient population with high prevalence haematologic abnormalities. Reference ranges normal leucocytes were obtained on 278 adult subjects. On 455 specimens, 200 specimens (44%) flagged by because distributional abnormality, 122 (27%) morphological abnormality. Percentage subtotal agreements between reference manual...
