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.   Anesthesia for sickle cell disease and congenital myopathy in combination

  This case report discusses the perioperative management of anesthesia and analgesia in a child with sickle cell disease and a congenital myopathy, presenting for corrective orthopedic surgery

  

  Abstract:

  We report on the perioperative management of anesthesia and analgesia in a child with sickle cell disease and a congenital myopathy, presenting for corrective orthopedic surgery. The case illustrates two valuable points of interest: the many benefits of regional anesthesia in complex medical cases and the successful use of tourniquets in children with sickle cell disease. more...

• 2.   Bacterial colonization of the prepuce in boys with vesicoureteral reflux who receive antibiotic prophylaxis

  The aim of the study was to examine the bacterial colonization of the prepuce in boys with vesicoureteral reflux who receive antibiotic prophylaxis

  

  Abstract:

  Culture swabs were taken from the periurethral area of 59 consecutive uncircumcised boys with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and 36 boys undergoing circumcision. A pure growth of a uropathogen was isolated in 22 (37%) boys with VUR who were receiving antibiotic prophylaxis and in 10 (28%) boys who underwent circumcision. Antibiotic prophylaxis in patients with VUR was not effective in more...

• 3.   Efficacy and safety of caudal injection of levobupivacaine, 0.25%, in children under 2 years of age undergoing inguinal hernia repair, circumcision or orchidopexy

  The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of 0.25% levobupivacaine administered as a caudal injection to paediatric patients aged less than 2 years old undergoing circumcision (group 1), or hernia repair or orchidopexy (group 2)

  

  Abstract:

  BACKGROUND: Levobupivacaine is the S(-)-enantiomer of racemic bupivacaine. Evidence suggests that it is less cardiotoxic than racemic bupivacaine and the R(+)-enantiomer, dexbupivacaine, while retaining similar local anaesthetic properties and potency to racemic bupivacaine. METHODS: This was an open study designed to assess the efficacy and safety of 0.25% levobupivacaine administered more...

• 4.   Megaprepuce associated with vesicoureteric reflux

  These case reports discuss 4 patients in whom megaprepuce was associated with vesicoureteric reflux

  

  Abstract:

  OBJECTIVE: To describe 4 patients in whom megaprepuce was associated with vesicoureteric reflux (VUR). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Four boys aged 6, 4, 5 and 7 months, respectively, presented with dribbling of urine, gross penile swelling and inability to void spontaneously. The first 3 patients had a history of documented urinary tract infection. Micturating cystourethrogram (MCUG) revealed more...
