The aim of this study was to examine how aspects of cord blood T-cell biology that Interleukin 10, produced in abundance by human newborn T cells, may be the regulator of increased tolerance associated with cord blood stem cell transplantation.
Abstract:
The use of human umbilical cord blood as an alternative source of stem cells to bone marrow for the reconstitution of the immune system is associated with less frequent and less severe incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). This study focuses on aspects of cord blood T-cell biology that may contribute to a perceived increased tolerance associated with the neonatal immune more...

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...

The aim of this review was to assess efficacy and safety of interventions, designed for prevention of hypothermia in preterm and/or low birthweight infants, applied within 10 minutes after birth in the delivery suite compared with routine thermal care
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Hypothermia incurred during routine postnatal resuscitation is a world-wide issue (across all climates), with associated morbidity and mortality. Keeping vulnerable preterm infants warm is problematic even when recommended routine thermal care guidelines are followed in the delivery suite.

This article discusses intestinal neuronal dysplasia
Abstract:
Intestinal neuronal dysplasia (IND) is a clinical condition that resembles Hirschsprung's disease. In the past many years investigators have raised doubts about the existence of IND as a distinct histopathologic entity. One strong piece of evidence that IND is a real entity stems from animal models. Recently, two different HOX11L1 knockout mouse models and a heterozygous endothelin B more...

Infective endocarditis is emerging as a significant cause of morbidity in the neonatal intensive care with an incidence ranging from 0.07 to 4.3%. The rise in incidence may be explained by the increasing availability of echocardiography facilities in the neonatal unit. The diagnosis of infective endocarditis has major therapeutic implications as the neonate is treated with potentially more...

The aim of this study was to examine Irish lung cancer mortality data for the years 1954-2000 to predict European age standardized mortality rates (EASMRs) and numbers of deaths for the period 2001-2015.
Abstract:
PURPOSE AND METHODOLOGY: Poisson regression models of Irish lung cancer mortality data for the years 1954-2000 were used to predict European age standardized mortality rates (EASMRs) and numbers of deaths for the period 2001-2015. Predictions for the whole population and for the age group 0-64 years were the main focus of this analysis. The models employed in this analysis were written more...

The aim of this study was to describe the risk of malignancy and mortality in patients with a positive endomysial or anti-gliadin antibody test in Northern Ireland
Abstract:
AIM: To determine the risk of malignancy and mortality in patients with a positive endomysial or anti-gliadin antibody test in Northern Ireland. METHODS: A population-based retrospective cohort study design was used. Laboratory test results used in the diagnosis of coeliac disease were obtained from the Regional Immunology Laboratory, cancer statistics from the Northern Ireland Cancer more...

This study aimed to obtain an overview of current practice of management of anticoagulation and its reversal from paediatric cardiac surgical units of Great Britain and Ireland
Abstract:
Protocols for management of heparin and protamine administration in patients undergoing open-heart surgery have been developed from experience gained mainly in adult practice. However, it has been demonstrated that there are marked differences between paediatric and adult patients in their response to systemic anticoagulation and its reversal. The aim of this study was to obtain an more...

This article discusses the management, and outcome from same, of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a common cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm neonates
Abstract:
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm neonates and at present its management is unclear. Over the past three decades there has been a growing use of corticosteroids in the postnatal period; first for the treatment and then, more recently, for the prevention of BPD. The first published use of corticosteroids to treat neonatal lung more...

This article discusses issues of management of hepatitis B in children
Abstract:
Children with hepatitis B infection require management by physicians knowledgeable about the natural history of this disorder and experienced in the treatment of children. Selection of appropriate pediatric patients for treatment will prevent some cases of advanced liver disease later in life. New treatments under development for adults may benefit children as well, once they have been more...

This study examined management of vascular birth marks
Abstract:
Vascular birthmarks comprise a diverse group of congenital lesions and represent a significant cosmetic and functional burden for patients. They remain a diagnostic and management challenge for physicians due to their extremely variable clinical presentation and often complex anatomical associations. As each type of vascular lesion has a treatment program individual to it, optimal more...

The aim of this study was to investigate neurone density and morphology of the myenteric plexus in premature infants
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The gastrointestinal tract appears morphologically prepared for oral feeding by the end of the second trimester, but many of the physiological processes required for efficient enteral nutrition are not developed fully until 33 to 34 weeks' gestation. Myenteric plexus is well recognized as an important regulator of peristaltic activity. Whole-mount preparation technique more...

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesize that exposure to antenatal risk factors for sepsis alters the perinatal neutrophil phenotype
Abstract:
The diagnosis of neonatal sepsis is difficult, resulting in unnecessary treatment to minimize morbidity and mortality. We hypothesized that exposure to antenatal risk factors for sepsis alters the perinatal neutrophil phenotype. The study setting was a tertiary referral university-affiliated maternity and neonatal hospital. Neutrophils from adults, normal neonates, neonates with more...

The aim of this study was to examine the Millennium Cohort Study to determine whether a mother's employment status and employment characteristics are related to breast-feeding initiation.
Abstract:
Maternal employment rates have increased rapidly in recent years and little is known about how this influences whether women start breast feeding. We examined data from the Millennium Cohort Study to determine whether a mother's employment status (full-time, part-time, self-employed, on leave, not employed/student) and employment characteristics are related to breast-feeding initiation. more...

OBJECTIVE: Clear amniotic fluid is frequently considered a reassuring sign during labor. Our aim was to examine the incidence of meconium that can only have been passed intrapartum and to determine its neonatal associations and whether its absence is a useful sign. METHODS: This was a prospective cohort study of 8394 "low risk" laboring women at term with clear amniotic fluid more...
