This article describes the difficulties frequently encountered in managing glycaemic control in the transition periods from childhood through adolescence to adulthood, with a description of four cases illustrating these points
Abstract:
The transition from childhood through adolescence to adulthood is a difficult stage, particularly for patients with type 1 diabetes. The yearning for autonomy and independence, as well as the hormonal changes around the time of puberty, can manifest in poor glycaemic control. The focus on diet and weight increases the prevalence of eating disorders, compounding the difficulties in more...

This case report discusses bronchoscopically administered recombinant human DNase for lobar atelectasis in cystic fibrosis
Abstract:
Lobar atelectasis is a common complication of cystic fibrosis. The majority of cases respond to intravenous antibiotics and chest physiotherapy. In a subgroup of patients, atelectasis is resistant to medical therapy, and its persistence in the pediatric population is associated with a poor prognosis. Bronchoscopic instillation of human recombinant DNase expanded atelectatic lobes in more...

These case reports discuss the occurrence of giant inflammatory polyposis in 2 boys attending a tertiary care hospital, with an established diagnosis of cystic fibrosis who subsequently developed Crohn's disease
Abstract:
Crohn's disease (CD) arising in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) is well recognized. Indeed, reports suggest that CD is significantly more common in patients with CF than in the general population. Giant inflammatory polyposis is a rare manifestation of idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease and may complicate both ulcerative colitis and CD. Giant inflammatory polyposis has not been more...

This case report discusses a case of hypopituitarism and executive dysfunction which developed two years after cerebral oedema complicating diabetic ketoacidosis in a 12 year old with type 1 diabetes.
Abstract:
Clinical evidence of cerebral oedema occurs in approximately 1% of diabetic ketoacidosis episodes. Mortality from this serious complication is falling, but little is known of long term outcome. We describe hypopituitarism and executive dysfunction developing two years after cerebral oedema complicating diabetic ketoacidosis in a 12 year old with type 1 diabetes. more...

This case report discusses a 5-year-old girl with Langerhans' cell histiocytosis of the clivus.
Abstract:
This report describes a 5-year-old girl with Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (LCH) of the clivus. To date only five patients, including our patient, have been described with LCH at this site. Our patient differs from those previously reported by her atypical clinical presentation with torticollis, but without a sixth nerve palsy. In addition, she is the first patient to present with more...

This case report discusses a 8 year old girl with cystic fibrosis presented with a pulmonary exacerbation from which Burkholderia cepacia was cultured
Abstract:
An 8 year old girl with cystic fibrosis presented with a pulmonary exacerbation from which Burkholderia cepacia was cultured. Subsequent polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the recA gene suggested the presence of B cepacia Genomovar V (Burkholderia vietnamiensis); however, on subsequent sequence typing, this isolate was confirmed as B cepacia more...

This case report discusses a 2-year-old child presenting with Multifocal Langerhans' cell histiocytosis and review the literature concerning this rare disease
Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disorder of unknown aetiology, characterised by the proliferation of histiocytic cells in various tissues and organs. The role of the otolaryngologist is important in the early and accurate evaluation, staging and diagnosis of LCH, as it may mimic more common otological disorders. METHOD: We report the case of a 2-year-old child more...

This case report discusses a case of peeling paint' dermatitis as a presenting sign of cystic fibrosis
Abstract:
Presentation of cystic fibrosis with a rash is rare, with only 19 previously reported cases. This unusual presentation is associated with false negative sweat tests, delays in diagnosis and considerable mortality. Multiple nutritional deficiencies, the aberrant production of prostaglandins and free-radical mediated damage have been implicated in the pathogenesis of this kwashiorkor-like more...

Abstract:
We report a 7-day-old boy referred to our institution with tachypnea and cardiomegaly who was discovered to have an intrapericardial extra-lobar pulmonary sequestration containing a cystic pulmonary adenomatoid malformation type II. He underwent successful surgical resection of the intrapericardial mass, which we believe represents the first reported case of this rare entity. more...

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Acute Intermittent Porphyria (AIP) is a rare autosomal dominant metabolic disorder resulting from partial deficiency of porphobobilinogen deaminase, the third enzyme of the haem synthetic pathway. Patients with AIP may be vulnerable to acute neurovisceral attacks if exposed to certain drugs, including some drugs used in dental practice. CASE REPORTS: This article outlines more...
