The aim of this study was to examine s ocular toxocariasis and the resultant damage it causes to vision
Abstract:
Ocular toxocariasis damages vision and may cause blindness. It is a relatively 'new' disease, the histological changes having been described in 1950 and the causative organism identified in 1956. Many aspects of the epidemiology of toxocariasis are unclear. It is generally accepted that the usual route of entry to the eye is via the blood stream. Once the eye is invaded characteristic more...

This study examined systemic lupus erythematosus patients attending a specialist connective tissue disease clinic to assess the occurrence of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APLAs) and to audit the effectiveness of screening for APLAs
Abstract:
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterised by excess autoantibody production. It typically affects women of childbearing age. Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APLAs) is associated with serious co-morbidity to mother and child characterized by recurrent vascular thrombosis and/or pregnancy associated morbidity. We reviewed SLE patients attending a more...

The aim of the study was to compare the prevalence of dental fluorosis in relation to water or salt fluoridation and reported use of fluoride toothpaste in school-age children from different geographical regions
Abstract:
AIM: To compare prevalence of dental fluorosis (DF) in permanent teeth in children whose domestic water supply was fluoridated since birth with that in a community where fluoridated salt was available. A second aim was to analyse the relationship between DF prevalence and reported use of fluoride toothpaste in early childhood. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. METHODS: A more...

The aim of this study was to examine the incidence of Down syndrome and the effects of changing demographics on incidence rates
Abstract:
This is a retrospective survey of all cases of Down syndrome recorded between 1981 and 2000 to mothers resident in Co. Galway. The study compares the incidence of Down syndrome in both decades and examines the effects of changing demographics on incidence rates. The overall prevalence rate was 26.8/10,000 live births for the full period. Although there were 5119 fewer births in the more...

The aim of this study was to examine prevalence and forms of congenital cardiac malformations in six children with Kabuki syndrome
Abstract:
We investigated the prevalence and forms of congenital cardiac malformations in six children with Kabuki syndrome. There were three girls and three boys, diagnosed at a median age of 1.7 years, with a range from 0.7 to 11.1 years. Cardiac lesions were present in five children (83%), specifically complete transposition, tetralogy of Fallot, coarctation of the aorta, ventricular septal more...

The aim of this study was to describe tinea capitis in a paediatric population
Abstract:
Tinea capitis is an increasing problem in Europe. The pattern of infection is changing with an increase in pathogenic anthropophilic dermatophytes particularly Trichophyton tonsurans. We aimed to determine the frequency of tinea capitis in a paediatric population attending dermatology outpatients and examine the clinical spectrum of disease. A retrospective analysis was performed of all more...

The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of hypospadias from 1980 to 1999 in 20 regions of Europe with EUROCAT (European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies)
Abstract:
Concern about apparent increases in the prevalence of hypospadias--a congenital male reproductive-tract abnormality--in the 1960s to 1980s and the possible connection to increasing exposures to endocrine-disrupting chemicals have underlined the importance of effective surveillance of hypospadias prevalence in the population. We report here the prevalence of hypospadias from 1980 to 1999 more...

The aim of this study was to assess a risk factor-based screening programme with a universally based one - for gestational diabetes mellitus
Abstract:
AIMS: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcome. Screening for GDM is therefore recommended but the best screening method remains controversial. This prospective, randomized study compared a risk factor-based screening programme with a universally based one. METHODS: Subjects were randomized at booking to one of two groups: the risk factor more...

The aim of this study was to examine a profile of visual impairment in childhood with a view to informing future services and to raise awareness of the need for comprehensive assessment including developmental remediation and educational advice
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The concept of visual impairment (VI) in childhood has changed over the last 30 years. There has been a decrease in the number of children with an isolated visual problem and an increase in the numbers with VI and coexisting neurological disability.
