This study examined "Dorgan's" percutaneous lateral cross-wiring of supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children
Abstract:
The preferred treatment of displaced supracondylar humeral fractures in children is closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. Cross-wiring techniques are biomechanically superior to parallel lateral wiring techniques. The purpose of this study was to review the authors' experience with a novel cross-wiring technique performed entirely from the lateral side. Twenty children with more...

This study reviewed central venous access devices in children with congenital coagulation disorders to assess complications and long-term outcomes
Abstract:
Reliable venous access is essential to facilitate the administration of prophylactic factor concentrate or blood products in children with congenital coagulation disorders and immune tolerance therapy (ITT) regimens in those who develop high responding inhibitors. Poor venous access is even more problematic in very young children, the vast majority of whom will require the insertion of more...

This study undertook a review of femoral hernias in children during the past 21 years
Abstract:
Femoral hernia is a rare surgical entity in the paediatric age group. The diagnosis is still a challenging issue. The aim of our study was to review our experience with femoral hernias in children during the past 21 years. We reviewed retrospectively the medical records of all patients who underwent femoral hernia repair in our institution between 1980 and 2000. Thirty-eight children more...

This study examined the relationship between occurrences of childhood trauma and self-reported experiences of hallucinations using data from the the National Comorbidity Survey
Abstract:
Data from the National Comorbidity Survey were used to estimate the relationship between occurrences of childhood trauma and self-reported experiences of hallucinations. Variables representing (1) childhood neglect, (2) childhood physical abuse, (3) rape under the age of 16, and (4) molestation under the age of 16 were used to predict experiences of visual, auditory and tactile more...

This study compared the long-term outcome of cholecystectomy versus cholecystolithotomy for symptomatic gallbladder disease in children
Abstract:
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE:The presence of cholelithiasis is being reported with increased frequency in childhood. Little is known about the natural history of the disease, and only a few studies have been published regarding long-term results of treated patients. Controversy still exists regarding optimal treatment. Both cholecystectomy and cholecystolithotomy with gallbladder preservation more...

This study classified cases of the spectrum of Coats' disease as subtypes of idiopathic retinal telangiectasis with exudation
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An increasing variety of eponymous terms have been used to describe atypical cases of Coats' disease. A group of typical cases of Coats' disease and other cases of differing severity were classified as one of four subtypes of idiopathic retinal telangiectasis with exudation and compared with regard to clinical outcome. METHODS: In a retrospective clinical review patients with more...

This study examined a generic adenovirus nested polymerase chain amplification assay designed to be capable of detecting all respiratory adenoviruses.
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: respiratory adenoviruses are common, often resulting in serious sporadic and epidemic infections and impaired immunity can dramatically increase their severity. They are now thought capable of establishing latency. Diagnosis by culture is slow while direct antigen detection by immunofluorescence lacks sensitivity. Molecular diagnosis can be both rapid and sensitive but the more...

The aim of this study was to examine the incidence of late diagnosed developmental dysplasia of the hip requiring surgery in Northern Ireland
Abstract:
PROBLEM: The incidence of late diagnosed developmental dysplasia of the hip requiring surgery in Northern Ireland is high. The reported incidence was 1.14 per 1000 children born during 1983-7. DESIGN: Comparative retrospective study. BACKGROUND AND SETTING: Clinical screening programme in Northern Ireland. Key measure for improvement: Reduced rate of operative intervention in children more...

The aim of this study was to examine the hypothesis that speech intelligibility in children after cochlear implantation may depend on their deafness cause, including connexin 26 (GJB2) gene-related deafness
Abstract:
HYPOTHESIS: Speech intelligibility in children after cochlear implantation may depend on their deafness cause, including connexin 26 (GJB2) gene-related deafness. BACKGROUND: There is significant variability in the degree of intelligibility, or clarity, of children's speech after cochlear implantation. GJB2 gene-related deafness may be a factor, as preliminary data suggest that more...

This study examined the incidence of contralateral inguinal hernia following unilateral inguinal herniotomy in infants aged less than one year.
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Contralateral groin exploration in children with unilateral inguinal hernia is still controversial, particularly in infants. The patency rate of processus vaginalis is highest in infants but there are few data on the subsequent risk of contralateral hernia development in infants. In this retrospective study, we aimed to find out the incidence of contralateral inguinal hernia more...
