Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:09:31 +0100 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5586297&cid=s_32764_33_f&fid=32764&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov%2Fentrez%2Fquery.fcgi%3Ftmpl%3DNoSidebarfile%26db%3DPubMed%26cmd%3DRetrieve%26list_uids%3D22231800%26dopt%3DAbstract CONCLUSIONS: Although the HRQoL was globally similar in both evaluations, several differences were found at individual level. Children with low preadmission HRQoL (severe disability) may benefit from pediatric intensive care, since many of these children improved their HRQoL compared to preadmission status.

The resistance to ampicillin and sulphametoxazole-trimethoprim gives cause for concern, as these drugs are widely used in practice and sulphametoxazole-trimethoprim is also recommended for treating children suspected of having shigellosis.

Its deleterious effects are not limited just to heavy passive smoking, but also occur with exposure to small amounts of smoke.

PMID: 22068699 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Jornal de Pediatria) Jornal de Pediatria journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5430481 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 05:00:00 +0100 5430481 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5385814&cid=s_32764_33_f&fid=32764&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov%2Fentrez%2Fquery.fcgi%3Ftmpl%3DNoSidebarfile%26db%3DPubMed%26cmd%3DRetrieve%26list_uids%3D22065014%26dopt%3DAbstract CONCLUSIONS: We observed an increase in the serum levels of the C3 and/or C4 components of the complement system in the majority of the patients with intermittent atopic asthma studied here, when compared with the results for children in the same age group without asthma. We conclude that the presence of elevated C3 and/or C4 complement components could represent a biomarker for diagnosis of intermittent atopic asthma.

HIV-infected individuals have specific characteristics that increase their oxidative stress, which is evidenced by increased CRP.

This reduced sensitivity at the extremes of the age range may be related to the number of motor items assessed at these ages and their difficulty. It is suggested that other screening instruments be employed for children over the age of 15 months.

PMID: 22015432 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Jornal de Pediatria) Jornal de Pediatria journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5353934 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 04:00:00 +0100 5353934 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5353933&cid=s_32764_33_f&fid=32764&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov%2Fentrez%2Fquery.fcgi%3Ftmpl%3DNoSidebarfile%26db%3DPubMed%26cmd%3DRetrieve%26list_uids%3D22016142%26dopt%3DAbstract This study was based on clinical, immunohistochemical assessment of muscle tissue and genomic analysis of dermal fibroblasts of a 7 1/2-year old boy and of the DNA of his parents. Clinical aspects and differential diagnosis with other disorders are discussed. COMMENTS: The better knowledge of congenital muscular dystrophies will improve the number of correct diagnoses and open new horizons for the treatment of such diseases. Genetic evaluation of UCMD patients has relevant implications for prognosis and genetic counseling of the family. The divulgation of this disorder in the pediatric community is advisable, because of the early onset of clinical manifestations and the fact that it is frequently misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all.

Our results show the great impact that respiratory infections have on these children and suggest that more attention must be paid to viral pathogens.

Use of RV vaccine requires implementation of post-marketing surveillance to monitor RV strain diversity and its efficacy against possible new emerging genotypes. NoVs have been increasingly identified as relevant etiological agents among hospitalized children and play an important role in the viral etiology of pediatric acute gastroenteritis in the state of São Paulo.

The prognostic factors defined for overall survival are also similar to those published in previous studies.

PMID: 21850363 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Jornal de Pediatria) Jornal de Pediatria journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5146273 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 23:00:00 +0100 5146273 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5146276&cid=s_32764_33_f&fid=32764&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov%2Fentrez%2Fquery.fcgi%3Ftmpl%3DNoSidebarfile%26db%3DPubMed%26cmd%3DRetrieve%26list_uids%3D21842114%26dopt%3DAbstract CONCLUSIONS: Most infants with sickle cell disease do not develop iron deficiency, though some have a significant deficit. This study indicates that infants with sickle cell disease, mainly those with SC hemoglobin, may receive prophylactic iron; however, supplementation should be withdrawn after the first blood transfusion.

However, there were significant differences in the prevalence of H. pylori among the diverse villages studied. Giardia was closely associated with H. pylori infection.

There is a need to improve diagnostic criteria, adapting them for the pediatric population, with the objective of making it simpler for clinicians, particularly pediatricians, to make diagnoses and initiate early intervention. Advances in the area of epigenetics may aid in the development of new preventative, diagnostic, and therapeutic approaches.

The present study demonstrated the effectiveness of HAART in significantly reducing hospitalization, death, and incidence of opportunistic infections among HIV-infected children. Starting HAART before HIV infection can have more detrimental effects on growth is associated with better outcomes among infected children.

There was a high frequency of pulmonary hypertension associated with longer periods of oxygen use and greater oxygen flow, without association with survival rate. The use of concentrators instead of cylinders may reduce costs significantly.

Differential diagnoses are discussed and the relevant literature is reviewed. Since the early 1950s, fewer than fifty cases have been described, mostly in adult patients. COMENTS: Although human toxocariasis is one of the most common zoonotic helminth infections, neurotoxocariasis is a rare condition, especially in pediatric patients. Although toxocariasis usually presents as a self-limiting disease with no CNS involvement, when it does occur, it can be devastating. Neurotoxocariasis should be added to the differential diagnosis of pediatric patients with unusual neurologic symptoms accompanied by high levels of eos...
