This article discusses a technique in which an internal fixation suture is placed to prevent dislodgement or migration of Broviac catheters
Abstract:
Broviac catheters are in common use for administration of parenteral nutrition, cancer chemotherapy, and antibiotic therapy within the paediatric population. Inadvertent dislodgement of these catheters is common during the initial weeks before the Dacron cuff is anchored by the ingrowth of fibrous tissue. The authors describe a technique in which an internal fixation suture is placed to more...

The aim of this study was to examine the nitrergic innervation of (a) inflamed appendices (b) appendices classified as histologically normal from patients with a clinical diagnosis of appendicitis (c) normal control appendix specimens
Abstract:
CONTEXT: The pathogenesis of appendicitis remains poorly understood. Despite new diagnostic techniques, appendices removed from patients with suspected appendicitis often appear histologically normal on conventional examination. There is increasing evidence of involvement of the enteric nervous system in immune regulation and in inflammatory responses in the gastrointestinal system. more...

This article discusses blood lutein and zeaxanthin - believed to play a role in protecting the eye against oxidative and light damage - levels in neonates
Abstract:
Approximately 5-7% of all infants are born prematurely, and birth before 37 weeks is the most common cause of neonatal mortality, morbidity and long-term disability. Premature infants are poorly equipped for life outside the womb, and oxidant stress has been implicated in the aetiology of visual impairment in these infants, who are often exposed to increased O2 concentrations and high more...

This case report discusses use of an Amplatzer Ductal Occluder Device to occlude a residual Sano shunt in an infant with a variant of hypoplastic left heart syndrome
Abstract:
The presence of a residual systemic-to-pulmonary shunt following a bidirectional Glenn operation may be necessary in patients with an elevated pulmonary vascular resistance. It is often possible to perform percutaneous occlusion of these shunts once the resistance has fallen. We report on the use of an Amplatzer Ductal Occluder Device to occlude a residual Sano shunt in an infant with a more...

This case report discusses a case of a twin pregnancy which was complicated by a twin-twin transfusion in which the recipient twin was noted to have an intra-abdominal echogenic mass
Abstract:
We report a case of a twin pregnancy which was complicated by a twin-twin transfusion in which the recipient twin was noted to have an intra-abdominal echogenic mass. This twin died at two days of age of hepatic infarction. The donor twin was healthy at birth, at thirty weeks' gestation, and did not have any subsequent problems. Fetal intra-abdominal echogenicity may be a marker of more...

This review aims to present and interpret data from recent clinical and experimental studies relating to hypercapnia and its role in protective ventilatory strategies.
Abstract:
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Hypercapnia is a central component of current protective ventilatory strategies. This review aims to present and interpret data from recent clinical and experimental studies relating to hypercapnia and its role in protective ventilatory strategies. RECENT FINDINGS: Increasing clinical evidence supports the use of permissive hypercapnia, particularly in acute lung more...

This study examined whether lactic acidosis at birth in asphyxiated neonates could predict the grade of EEG encephalopathy by examining the relationship between time taken for the normalisation of lactate, severity of encephalopathy and seizure burden
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Predicting at birth which infants with perinatal hypoxic-ischaemic injury will progress to significant encephalopathy remains a challenge. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether lactic acidosis at birth in asphyxiated neonates could predict the grade of EEG encephalopathy by examining the relationship between time taken for the normalisation of lactate, severity of encephalopathy more...

The aim of this study was to test whether extremely preterm children have more pervasive behaviour problems than classroom peers, by using parent and teacher consensus reports
Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: The goal was to test whether extremely preterm children have more pervasive behavior problems than classroom peers, by using parent and teacher consensus reports. Is there an excess number of extremely preterm boys with behavior problems? METHODS: A total-population study of all extremely preterm children in the United Kingdom and Ireland was performed. All children born at more...

The aim of this study was to whether histopathological examination of the placenta in cases of neonatal encephalopathy could identify significant antenatal processes that are not recognized by clinical assessment alone
Abstract:
Neonatal encephalopathy (NE) remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the term infant, and many cases have an antepartum, rather than an intrapartum, etiology. Chronic processes such as thrombosis result in changes in the placenta. We sought to determine whether histopathological examination of the placenta in cases of NE, focusing on these changes, could identify more...

This study aimed to compare manual methodology and automated technologies; impedance, optical density and CD61 immunoplatelet method (available on the Cell Dyn 4000) with the reference method of flow cytometric analysis in a paediatric population
Abstract:
Accurate and precise platelet counting is important for the clinical management of children with platelet disorders. Current automated technologies are often unable to discriminate platelets from non-platelet particles particularly in circumstances where platelet anisocytosis is common. This study compares manual methodology and the automated technologies; impedance, optical density and more...

The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence, clinical characteristics, management and changes in survival over time of vertically HIV-infected infants developing PCP and/or CMV infection
Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: The outcome of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in HIV-infected infants is poor, and the role of cytomegalovirus (CMV) co-infection in the course and outcome of PCP is unclear. This study describes the prevalence, clinical characteristics, management and changes in survival over time of vertically HIV-infected infants developing PCP and/or CMV infection. METHODS: Data on more...

The aim of this study was to examine whether Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids might evoke apoptosis in newborn monocytes
Abstract:
The n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential dietary constituents. They are potent modulators of the human immune response, and research has endeavoured to optimise the ratio of n-3 to n-6 fatty acids in the lipid emulsion component of total parenteral nutrition to harness their beneficial effects in the clinical setting. PUFAs modulate apoptosis of certain tumour more...
