Abstract:
Thirty three patients with phaeochromocytomas had surgery in St. Vincent's Hospital between 1950 and 1997. 32 patients had hypertension, 32 had palpitations and 30 had excessive sweating. All patients had at least one of these cardinal symptoms. Diagnostic tests changed over this period. In the early cases the phentolamine test was used, later diagnosis was confirmed by measurement of more...

This study examined the conservative management of appendix mass in children
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The management of an appendix mass in children is controversial. An experience of conservative management of appendix masses in a paediatric population over the last 19 years is reviewed. METHODS: The medical records of all children who presented with an appendix mass to one of three children's hospitals between 1982 and 2000 were reviewed. In that interval 427 children with more...

The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of the traditional freeze and a sustained 10-s freeze in the treatment of common viral warts with liquid nitrogen
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Cryotherapy is a standard treatment for viral warts. Although textbooks recommend treating until there is a halo of ice around the wart (traditional freeze), many authors advocate more aggressive cryotherapy. There are no previously published studies assessing the efficacy of longer freezing times. OBJECTIVES: To compare the efficacy of the traditional freeze and a sustained more...

This study examined displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children
Abstract:
We performed an outcome study of completely displaced supracondylar fractures in children in order to assess the outcome of primary open reduction and internal fixation for these injuries. A total of 16 patients (mean age of 5.9 years) were included in the study. The mean follow-up was 2.6 years and patients were assessed after fracture healing using the criteria of Flynn et al. and more...

The aim of this study was to examine children with hemiplegia who underwent gait analysis and musculoskeletal modelling using specially designed software
Abstract:
Eighteen children with hemiplegia, mean age 8 years 5 months, underwent gait analysis and musculoskeletal modelling using specially designed software. The maximum lengths of the hamstrings were determined for each child walking in and out of an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO). The muscles were deemed to be short if shorter than the normal average -1SD. In bare feet 8 participants had short more...

The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulin in the management of haemolytic disease of the newborn
Abstract:
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is indicated for use in Rhesus and ABO hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) to reduce the need for exchange transfusion, to decrease hospital stay and the duration of phototherapy. 11 infants received IVIG and the effect of IVIG on the total serum bilirubin (TSB) level, and its effect on the rate of rise of TSB was quantified. There was a more...

The aim of this study was to audit pulsed-dye laser surgery as a treatment of viral warts
Abstract:
Pulsed-dye laser (PDL) surgery is a recognized treatment of viral warts. Initial studies in 1993 by Tan et al achieved a 72% cure rate for 39 patients after a mean of 1.68 treatments. Since then, conflicting response rates ranging from 47-95% have been reported. The records of 44 patients, who attended the Laser Unit at St. James's Hospital between January 1999 to June 2000, were more...

This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer for high grade vesicoureteral reflux in infants
Abstract:
PURPOSE: Renal parenchymal injury in vesicoureteral reflux occurs early, in most patients before age 3 years. It is generally believed that early prevention of urinary tract infections may decrease the amount of renal parenchymal damage. Endoscopic treatment for vesicoureteral reflux has become an established alternative to long-term antibiotic prophylaxis and ureteral reimplantation. more...

The aim of this study was to examine children attending a routine asthma clinic and evaluate the relationship between exhaled nitric oxide levels and clinical parameters including decision making.
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Exhaled nitric oxide (ENO) has been shown to be a noninvasive marker of eosinophilic inflammation in asthmatic children. Few studies have evaluated the relationship between ENO levels and the clinical features of children with asthma. The aim of this study was to examine children attending a routine asthma clinic and evaluate the relationship between ENO levels and clinical more...

The aim of this study was to examine the timing of the onset of resorption following replanted teeth
Abstract:
Resorption is the main reason for loss of replanted teeth. The outcome examined in this study is the timing of the onset of resorption. The effect of dichotomised dry and wet time intervals as well as the presence of additional crown damage and of contamination were determined. Of 84 replanted teeth, 67.5% developed resorptions. Twenty-eight had detectable additional crown damage with a more...
