The Perceived Impact of a Child Maltreatment Report From the Perspective of the Domestic Violence Shelter Worker

Discuss or comment on this article.
The purpose of this study is to examine domestic violence shelter workers’ perceptions of child maltreatment reporting. A sample of 82 professionals from domestic violence shelters across the United States participated in a survey focusing on a variety of different types of reports and the frequency of both positive and negative outcomes arising from these reports. Possible outcomes included in the study are damage to the relationship between the worker and the battered woman, disempowerment of the battered woman, discouragement from seeking further help, protection of the child, further traumatization of the child, ...

This study examines the association between trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among 157 help-seeking children (aged 8-17). Structured clinical interviews are carried out, and linear and logistic regression analyses are conducted to examine the relationship between PTSD and type of trauma exposure controlling for age, gender, and ethnicity. Confrontation with traumatic news, witnessing domestic violence, physical abuse, and sexual abuse are each significantly associated with PTSD. Witnessing a crime, being the victim of a crime, and exposure to accidents, fire, or disaster are not associated with PTSD...

The dilated bowel: a liability and an assetEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
The gastrointestinal tract responds to significant mechanical or functional obstruction by dilatation and hypertrophy of the segment proximal to the obstruction. Excessive dilatation compromises motility, and absorption and is associated with considerable morbidity (intraluminal stasis, sepsis) such that bowel dilatation represents a major liability that predisposes the patient to intestinal failure. The dilated bowel proximal to an obstruction provides valuable autologous material for reconstruction with “tissue appropriate to the part.” Bowel elongation and dilatation are integral to the natural intestinal adaptation...

Intestinal transplantation (ITx) has now become an accepted form of replacement therapy for intestinal failure (IF) and its complications. Disorders of bowel motility may represent up to 25% of patients on waiting lists for ITx. Some patients with short bowel as a cause for IF may also have dysmotile bowel. Underlying pathology of the intestine is heterogenous and may be due to abnormalities in the nerve supply, intestinal smooth muscle, or may be regarded as idiopathic (chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction). Outcome after ITx for dysmotility has previously been guarded, but providing the appropriate graft is used and tak...

Gut motility disorders represent a significant challenge in clinical management with current palliative approaches failing to overcome disease and treatment-related morbidity. The recent progress with stem cells to restore missing or defective elements of the gut neuromusculature offers new hope for potential cure. Focusing on enteric neuropathies such as Hirschsprung's disease, the review discusses the progress that has been made in the sourcing of putative stem cells and the studies into their biology and therapeutic potential. It also explores the practical challenges that must be overcome before stem cell-based therapi...

Gastrointestinal motility disorders can develop in neurologically impaired children and those with congenital malformations of the gut. It is characterized by moderate to severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and failure to thrive. Antral dysmotility after fundoplication and increased sympathetic over activity are 2 factors associated with this condition that make it difficult to treat. This paper proposes a management strategy using metoclopramide, celiac plexus blockade, and thoracic splanchnectomy. It reviews our experience with 11 patients.

Two years ago, I corresponded with Professor Jay Grosfeld about the lack of evidence-based medicine concerning gastrointestinal motility disorders. In a prompt reply, he described it as one of the “black box” areas in surgery and how little is known about this spectrum of disorders. A lot of experimental work has unravelled the mysteries of the “enteric nervous system (ENS),” and there is a growing interest in the management of these disorders by pediatricians, gastroenterologists, and neurogastroenterologists that seems very far removed from the realms of the general pediatric surgeon.

Development of the enteric nervous system and its role in intestinal motility during fetal and early postnatal stagesEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Motility patterns in the mature intestine require the coordinated interaction of enteric neurons, gastrointestinal smooth muscle, and interstitial cells of Cajal. In Hirschsprung's disease, the aganglionic segment causes functional obstruction, and thus the enteric nervous system (ENS) is essential for gastrointestinal motility after birth. Here we review the development of the ENS. We then focus on motility patterns in the small intestine and colon of fetal mice and larval zebrafish, where recent studies have shown that the first intestinal motility patterns are not neurally mediated. Finally, we review the development of...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Gastrointestinal motility disorders and chronic constipation are common pediatric problems. Symptoms of abdominal discomfort are frequently encountered in the daily practice of pediatricians and pediatric surgeons. Normal peristalsis depends on the interaction between muscles, nerve cells, and tendinous connective tissue of muscularis propria. Malfunction of any of these components results in a motility disorder. Aganglionosis, typically of the left distal colon, is the cause of Hirschsprung disease. Hypoganglionosis constitutes another gastrointestinal motility disorder. In hypoplastic hypoganglionosis, the number of nerv...

Diagnosis and management of Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) requires understanding of the malformation's anatomic features and multigenic nature. Rectal biopsies, intraoperative frozen sections, and resection specimens provide invaluable information. Extraction of these data requires thoughtful biopsy technique, adequate histologic sections, histochemistry, and collaboration of surgeon and pathologist. Critical consideration of transition zone anatomy and published studies of “transition zone pull through” indicate that more research is needed to determine how much ganglionic bowel should be resected from HSCR patients. ...

Intestinal failure associated liver disease (IFALD) is one of the most common and devastating complications in infants with intestinal failure. Although multifactorial, its pathophysiology is clearly related to the administration of parenteral nutrition (PN), with a recent focus on the role of PN lipid emulsions. This paper will review the evidence for the use of omega-3 fatty acid PN lipid emulsions, which are proposed to have efficacy in the treatment of IFALD. Mechanisms explaining their effects will be considered as will future research directions.
