487 The Influence of Inhaled Corticotherapy on the Growth and Development in Asthmatic Children

2012

Background Inhaled corticotherapy is the main anti-inflammatory controller type therapy in asthmatic children. Impaired growth as a result of long-term corticotherapy remains a disputed issue of topical interest for both endocrinologists, pneumologists and pediatricians. Objective The study evaluates the influence of long term small dose inhaled corticotherapy on growth and somatic development in asthmatic children. Methods Observational analytical study on 2 samples of subjects. The study group: 100 asthmatic children with small dose inhaled corticotherapy (beclomethasone dipropionate Becotide 200–400 µg/day or fluticasone propionate Flixotide 100–300 µg/day), for 24 months therapy. The co…

966 The Nonthyroidal Illness Syndrome in Septic Children

2012

Backgroud The interpretation of thyroid function tests in the PICU patients can be difficult because thyroid hormone concentrations are affected by nonthyroidial stresses. Most patients fall into sick euthyroid syndrome or nonthyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS). The TH therapy during critical illness remains controversial. Aim To evaluate the NTIS in septic children. Method The prospective study conducted on 65 patients admitted in PICU during 12 months period. Inclusion criteria: age > 1 month, admission for critical illness, treatment with corticosteroids, no (documented) history of thyroid pathology. The patients were divided into 2 groups: sepsis and non-sepsis group (dehydration, poisoni…

756 The Effectiveness of RDW-CV in Differentiating Microcytic Anemia

2012

Backround: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and thalassemia are the most common microcytic anemia in children. Sometimes, expensive or invasive investigations are necessary for their distinction. Red cell distribution - coefficient variation (RDW-CV) is a new generation marker more often used in differentiating IDA from thalassemia. A number of hematological indices are also useful (Mentzer, Shine&Lal, Green&King, Ricerca). Aim To demonstrate the effectiveness RDW - CV in differentiating microcytic anemia. Method Retrospective study conducted on a total of 215 patients with microcytic anemia. Criteria for study group selection: MCV and Hb below the minimum age reference (mild anemia, Hb between…
