This study describes features associated with the presentation of posterior fossa tumours in childhood
Abstract:
A retrospective review was performed of the age profile and clinical features at presentation of 79 children with posterior fossa tumours. The mean age at presentation in this series (6.6 years) is consistent with a decreasing trend over the past 70 years. Headaches, ataxia and torticollis emerge as significant symptoms worthy of further investigation whilst abdominal pain and more...

This paper discusses postnatal corticosteroids given early after birth reduce the risk of chronic lung disease in preterm infants but are associated with an approximate doubling of the risk of adverse neurosensory outcomes
Abstract:
Postnatal corticosteroids given early after birth reduce the risk of chronic lung disease in preterm infants but are associated with an approximate doubling of the risk of adverse neurosensory outcomes. Corticosteroids given after 7-10 d of age appear not to have these increased risks of neurosensory sequelae and reduce time on the ventilator. CONCLUSION: Further research is needed to more...

This article discusse systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials of postnatal steroids (either systemic or inhaled) for CLD in the Cochrane Library were evaluated as a guide to clinical practice
Abstract:
INTRODUCTION: Chronic lung disease (CLD) represents a condition of persistent inflammation within the airways which may have its origin either in utero or after birth. Corticosteroids, because of their anti- inflammatory actions, have been used to modify the course of CLD. There have been almost 40 randomised controlled trials of postnatal dexamethasone and 12 of inhaled steroids. more...

The aim of this study was to examine if predictive values of high risk markers Apgar, acidosis and others - would be increased if early continuous electroencephalographic monitoring allowed accurate identification of all neonatal seizures
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: After perinatal asphyxia, predicting which infants will develop significant hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and neonatal seizures remains a difficult task. High-risk markers (Apgar score, acidosis, nucleated red blood cells, and resuscitation) have been used to predict neonatal seizures with varying success. The "3 strikes" of Apgar score of <5 at 5 minutes, pH more...

The aim of this study was to examine health outcomes in women infected with Hep C type 1b during pregnancy with a matched control group
Abstract:
A large cohort of rhesus-negative women in Ireland were inadvertently infected with hepatitis C virus following exposure to contaminated anti-D immunoglobulin in 1977-8. This major iatrogenic episode was discovered in 1994. We studied 36 women who had been infected after their first pregnancy, and compared them to an age- and parity-matched control group of rhesus-positive women. The more...

Abstract:
Preterm delivery and its short-term and long-term sequelae constitute a serious problem in terms of mortality, disability, and cost to society. The incidence of preterm delivery, which has increased in recent years, is associated with various epidemiological and clinical risk factors. Results of randomised controlled trials suggest that attempts to reduce these risk factors by use of more...

BACKGROUND: Determining the significance of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) remains difficult in preterm neonates and current echocardiographic markers give little information about ductal steal. We hypothesized that the relationship between celiac artery flow (CAF) and left ventricular output (LVO) in the presence of a PDA may determine haemodynamic significance. OBJECTIVES: To more...

Incarcerated inguinal hernias in infants are commonly encountered. Reduction with intravenous sedation using morphine and related drugs carries risks of apnoea and/or respiratory arrest, especially in small, ex-premature babies who have an increased incidence of incarceration and thus opiate use is best avoided. Caudal epidural anaesthesia is widely used as pre- and post-operative more...

The aim of this study was to estimate the probability that a second infant death is natural versus unnatural
Abstract:

We aimed to estimate the probability that a second infant death is natural versus unnatural. METHODS: The Care of Next Infant programme (CONI) supports parents who have previously had an unexpected and apparently more...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of age, CD4 percentage (CD4%) and plasma HIV-1 RNA on response to highly active antiretroviral therapy in previously untreated children
Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of age, CD4 percentage (CD4%) and plasma HIV-1 RNA on response to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in previously untreated children. DESIGN: Cohort study. METHODS: We examined the association between age at HAART initiation, and CD4 and HIV-1 RNA response using logistic and Cox regression, adjusting for sex, route of infection and pre-HAART more...

Based largely on studies of acutely asphyxiated term animal models, clinical assessment and positive pressure ventilation have become the cornerstones of neonatal resuscitation over the last 40 years. Over the last 25 years, care more...
