This study examined outcomes after internal sphincter myectomy in patients with Internal Anal Sphincter Achalasia
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Internal anal sphincter achalasia (IASA), also referred to as ultrashort segment Hirschsprung's disease (HD), is a clinical condition with presentation similar to HD, but with the presence of ganglion cells on rectal biopsy. The diagnosis of IASA is made on anorectal manometry, which shows the absence of rectosphincteric reflex on rectal balloon inflation. Altered more...

This study examined experiences with septorhinoplasty in children over the last two decades in an academic setting.
Abstract:
Nasal septal surgery and rhinoplasty are controversial in children. Traditionally, an attitude of restraint has been employed by most surgeons till an empirical age of 16 to 18 years. This is to avoid the possible adverse effects that the growth spurts may have on the nose and midface region. Some authors, however, have claimed a paucity of evidence that such untoward effects of surgery more...

This case report discusses a diagnostically challenging case of a 14-year-old boy presenting with an atraumatic painful limp and pyrexia
Abstract:
The child who presents with fever, limp and hip pain will often undergo multiple diagnostic procedures before a definitive diagnosis is made. We describe a diagnostically challenging case of a 14-year-old boy presenting with an atraumatic painful limp and pyrexia. Eventually the diagnosis of obturator internus muscle abscess with associated ischial osteomyelitis was made. Of the 19 more...

Abstract:
Hashimoto's encephalopathy (HE) is a steroid responsive, relapsing encephalopathy associated with thyroid autoantibodies. Paediatric literature mainly consists of case reports of the disease. A questionnaire survey of 68 consultant paediatric neurologists was undertaken through the British Paediatric Neurology Association in 2002 to gather preliminary data about this condition. The more...

This study described 10 cases of pre-transplant bilateral native nephrectomy for medically refractory hypertension
Abstract:
Hypertension arising from retained native kidneys can compromise both the patient and graft survival. Bilateral nephrectomy should be considered in a select group of patients, whom have refractory hypertension, prior to renal transplantation. Between January 1991 and July 1998 we performed 10 bilateral nephrectomies where hypertension was the indication. The mean age was 23 yrs (range more...

The aim of this study was to describe prophylactic thyroidectomy in the treatment of thyroid medullary carcinoma
Abstract:
Since the association of RET proto-oncogene mutations and medullary thyroid carcinoma in children there has been much discussion regarding timing of surgery. Our study group was formed from a brother and sister (8 and 5) and 3 brothers (9, 13, 16) selected on the basis of a positive family history for thyroid medullary carcinoma. Histological examinations of the thyroidectomy specimens more...

The aim of the study was to compare the potential protective effect for the decrease in platelet count associated with RATG therapy against pediatric renal transplant graft vascular thrombosis
Abstract:
Graft thrombosis is a serious complication in pediatric renal transplantation. We assess a potential protective effect for the decrease in platelet count associated with RATG therapy against pediatric renal transplant graft vascular thrombosis. Between January 1986 and December 1998, 120 kidney transplants were performed in 95 pediatric recipients. Patients were divided into two groups. more...

This study evaluated the incidence of renal damage in a large series of male infants with high grade vesicoureteral reflux diagnosed after the first urinary tract infection
Abstract:
PURPOSE: Vesicoureteral reflux during infancy is found mainly in males, and it is of high grade and often bilateral. The higher predominance of male infants is reported in series when the reflux is diagnosed prenatally and when it is detected after urinary tract infection. Renal parenchymal damage may already be present at birth before any episode of urinary tract infection or acquired more...

This study reviewed the sequelae of otitis media with effusion among children with cleft lip and/or cleft palate
Abstract:
Otitis media with effusion (OME) is common among children with cleft palate, and may lead to such long-term consequences as hearing loss, tympanic membrane retraction, and chronic otitis media (COM). In total, 104 children with cleft lip and/or palate treated for OME at our institution were reviewed. Mean duration of follow-up was 6.9 years, and mean age at latest follow-up was 9.6 more...

This study examined slipped upper femoral epiphysis fixation with a single screw
Abstract:
We conducted a retrospective, clinical and radiological study of fixation with a single screw in slipped upper femoral epiphysis. Forty children (53 hips) who had a slipped upper femoral epiphysis were managed by in-situ pinning with a single cannulated screw. The average age of these patients was 12.7 years and their average weight was above the 50th centile at the time of diagnosis. more...
