Hypercalciuria and kidney calcifications in terminal 4q deletion syndrome: further evidence for a putative gene on 4q.

We report a newborn girl with a de novo terminal 4q deletion (q31.3 --> qter) and a characteristic phenotype of minor facial anomalies, cleft palate, congenital heart defect, abnormalities of hands and feet, and postnatal onset of growth deficiency. Laboratory studies showed excessive urinary calcium excretion on standard milk formula and on oral calcium load. Blood measurements of parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, bicarbonate, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, chlorine, potassium, and urinary measurements of phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, chlorine, potassium were normal for age. At 2 months of life, ultrasonography showed kidney calcifications. Clinical and laboratory data support the…

Atypical bartonella henselae neuroretinitis in an immunocompetent patient

We report a case of a 57-year-old immunocompetent male, admitted to our Department due to the loss of visual acuity to the right eye, occurred during the two weeks before the hospitalization, and hyperglycaemia. Our patient suffered from metabolic syndrome, characterized by visceral obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, arterial hypertension, complicated by proteinuria, and moderate grade hypertensive retinopathy. Surprisingly, and despite its many comorbidities, the final diagnosis was neuroretinitis by Bartonella henselae, without any other symptoms/signs of cat-scratch disease. The patient denied any kind of contact with cats. He was cured by specific antibiotic therapy, restoring status …

LONG GAP ESOPHAGEAL ATRESIA AND ASSOCIATED ANOMALIES ATRESIA ESOFAGEA “LONG GAP” ED ANOMALIE ASSOCIATE

Patients with long gap esophageal atresia are often managed with gastrostomy and tube drainage of the proximal pouch, despite the high risk of aspiration and nosocomial infections. Long gap esophageal atresia has been reported in the presence of congenital anomalies, most often within the spectrum of the VACTERL association. We report on three preterm newborns in whom the association of long gap esophageal atresia, prematurity and congenital anomalies led to a significant reduction of the patients' life span, amplifying many clinical problems. Patients with long gap esophageal atresia are often managed with gastrostomy and tube drainage of the proximal pouch, despite the high risk of aspira…

Primary repair in esophageal atresia: The results of long term follow-up

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of postoperative morbidity during a long-term follow-up (6-12 years) in children with esophageal atresia treated at birth by primary anastomosis.Fifteen children with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula were surgically treated at birth and their follow-up was extended to at least 6 up to 12 years. Data included clinical examination, evaluation of nutritional habit, continuous video recording of barium esophagogram, esophageal manometry, 24-h esophageal pH-monitoring and esophageal endoscopy.All the 15 patients completed the clinical evaluation and the set of tests. In the first 6 years, mild dysphagia and gastroesophageal reflux (G…

FAVARA FUTURES. Research workshop, Start conference. Dynamics of periphery

The book collects a result of the project between the University of Palermo and Leibniz Universität Hannover, “Dynamics of Periphery” funded in the University Dialogue Programme Southern Europe of DAAD. The conceptual approaches collected in the book are combined with a project report of a workshop in Favara with master students of both universities; in collaboration with the municipality of Favara and with FARM Cultural Park Favara. The trans-versal research between architecture, urban design, arts, local and regional development highlights the need and the potential of new ways to integrate “Dynamics of Periphery” in debates and policies about futures of habitat in Europe.
