Irish Child Health Database - Peer Reviewed Papers

Database Search

How to use this database.

• Method 1- uses a free natural language approach.

  After choosing the object of the search – by ticking title, abstract, aims and objective, or author - enter a term, word or name in the ‘Search’ box to return references answering your research question.

• Method 2 - utilises key words.

  Those key words assigned from thesauruses of controlled vocabulary by the trained coders of international bibliographic databases.
  The controlled vocabularies key word are listed alphanumerically under 'Bibliographic database keywords' .
  Use the drop down menu to identity which 'key words' you are interested in to return references to answer your research question.

• Method 3 - is based on the indexing system

  developed by the researchers who compiled this database.
  It adopts a thematic approach to mapping Irish child health research. The themed areas represent outcomes mapped to the International Classification of Disease version 10 (ICD-10) or one of 23 other health-related themed outcomes. Themes are defined in Tables 5 to 7 (of the study report).
  Use the alphabetic drop down menu under ‘ICD-10 or themed health-related outcomes’ to identity which themed areas you are interested in to select references to answer your research question.

• Method 4 – allows papers to be searched by Study type.

  Indexing by study type offers a valuable insight into understanding the population impact of the topic of interest. More than 20 study types were identified across the 2,152 study papers. These are defined in Table 3 (of the study report). Within 'Study type' papers are further stratification by geographical region (Table 49), topic area of interest and study aims and objectives.
  Click on 'Study type' to select the type of study of interest, progressively select sub-categories by topic area or other sub-classification of interest to answer your research question.

The complete background, methods and findings from this mapping exercise are detailed in the study report.

• 1.   Distribution of Ca2+-activated K channels, SK2 and SK3, in the normal and Hirschsprung's disease bowel

  The aim of this study was to investigate the expression and distribution of SK2 and SK3 channels in the normal and Hirschsprung's disease bowel

  

  Abstract:

  PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the expression and distribution of SK2 and SK3 channels in the normal and Hirschsprung's disease (HD) bowel. METHODS: Full-thickness colonic specimens were collected at pull-through operation from 10 patients with HD and from 6 patients during bladder augmentation. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis for SK2 more...

• 2.   Long-term clinical outcome in patients with Hirschsprung's disease and associated Down's syndrome

  This study examined the long-term clinical outcome in patients with Hirschsprung's disease and associated Down's syndrome

  

  Abstract:

  BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Down's syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal abnormality associated with Hirschsprung's disease (HD). The purpose of this study was to review the long-term clinical outcome in patients with HD and associated DS. METHODS: Between 1975 and 2003, 39 (15%) of the 259 patients with HD had been associated with DS. Follow-up was carried out by means of examination of more...

• 3.   Long-term results of delayed primary anastomosis for pure oesophageal atresia: a 27-year follow up

  This study examined long-term results of delayed primary anastomosis for pure oesophageal atresia

  

  Abstract:

  The management of a newborn with pure oesophageal atresia continues to be challenging. We started treating babies with pure oesophageal atresia by delayed primary anastomosis in 1977. The purpose of this study was to review the long-term outcome in infants with pure oesophageal atresia (EA) treated by delayed primary anastomosis with special emphasis on gastroesophageal reflux (GOR) more...

• 4.   Traumatic rupture of the aorta in an 11-year-old patient: surgical considerations in the technique of repair

  This case report discusses an 11-year-old child who presented with a traumatic aortic transaction

  

  Abstract:

  We describe an 11-year-old child who presented with a traumatic aortic transection. This is an extremely rare occurrence in this age group. In managing the injury the future growth of the child must be considered. Primary repair is ideal when possible, but in choosing a graft, the choice of size and material should take cognisance of the risk of a coarctation-like syndrome in the future. more...
