Evaluación de los signos precoces de aterosclerosis en niños con Diabetes Mellitus tipo 1
2015
INTRODUCCIÓN La Diabetes Mellitus tipo 1 (DM1) representa un importante factor de riesgo de enfermedad cardiovascular. La ecografía de la arteria carótida común derecha se ha establecido como una técnica útil y fiable para valorar la presencia de cambios ateroscleróticos subclínicos. Estos signos precoces se manifiestan con el aumento del índice grosor íntima-media carotídeo (GIMc). Previamente a esta alteración estructural, se afecta la función endotelial, que se valora mediante la estimación de los parámetros de rigidez arterial. OBJETIVOS Evaluar el GIMc y los índices de rigidez arterial, en una población de niños con DM1, en comparación con una población de niños sanos, de similares eda…
Utilidad de la tomografía computarizada en el diagnóstico de la tuberculosis en niños
2015
Tras la primoinfección, la mayoría de los pacientes desarrollan una infección tuberculosa latente (ITL), pero un porcentaje evoluciona a enfermedad tuberculosa (ET). Es importante diferenciar estas entidades dado que requieren pautas de tratamiento diferentes. El diagnóstico de la tuberculosis (TB) depende, con frecuencia, de la detección de anomalías en la radiografía de tórax. Las adenopatías son el hallazgo radiológico más frecuente. Sin embargo diferentes autores han demostrado que la radiografía de tórax tiene poca sensibilidad y especificidad para su detección. La tomografía coputarizada (TC) se considera la modalidad radiológica de elección para la detección de las adenopatías, pero …
Invasive pneumococcal diseases in children aged 1-59 months in sicily, Italy: Importance of active family paediatrician surveillance and vaccination …
2014
Purpose: Aim of this study was to analyze pediatric invasive pneumococcal disease rates several years after the implementation of infant pneumococcal vaccination. Methods: The study was carried out in Sicily and involved about 30,000 children, aged 1-59 months, actively monitored by 100 family pediatricians during 2010 and 2011. All children who met the inclusion criteria were considered eligible, recorded using a stan-dardized case report form and investigated for the presence of S. pneumoniae in speci-mens from sterile sites. Results: None of the 40 eligible children was confirmed as a case of invasive pneumococ-cal disease. The incidence rate of invasive pneumococcal disease cases was 0.…
Promozione e valutazione del benessere psicologico del soggetto in età scolare, affetto da patologia renale cronica ed invalidante ad alto tasso di o…
2008
Nell'articolo si descrive un progetto di "ricerca-intervento" avente per oggetto il supporto e la promozione del benessere psicologico di pazienti di età scolare (5-13 anni) affetti da patologia renale cronica e le loro famiglie, mediante il recupero e l'utilizzo di competenze e risorse cognitivo-emotive. Si descrivono le attività progettate sia come colloqui con singoli pazienti e sistemi familiari, sia come laboratori creativi socio-educativi finalizzati alla promozione delle capacità di problem solving nel bambino ospedalizzato, sia nel momento di degenza, sia di day hospital. La descrizione del progetto attivato si sviluppa attraverso: descrizione di precedenti conoscenze disponibili su…
An Overview of Asthma and COVID-19: Protective Factors Against SARS-COV-2 in Pediatric Patients.
2021
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus SARS-COV-2. Aberrant innate immunity response and cytokine storm are responsible for the syndrome. Apparently, in asthmatic patients, the inadequate antiviral immune response and the tendency for asthma exacerbation evoked by common respiratory viruses could explain increased susceptibility to SARS-COV-2 infection. However, asthma has not been suggested to be a risk factor in COVID-19 patients. Therefore, in asthmatic patients some potential protective mechanisms against SARS-COV-2 have been hypothesized, like type 2 immune response, number of eosinophils, overproduct…

Effects of E-Cigarette Exposure on Prenatal Life and Childhood Respiratory Health: A Review of Current Evidence
2021
In the last decade, widespread use of E-cigarettes (EC) has occurred all over the world. Whereas, a large amount of evidence on harm to children from conventional cigarette exposure is available, data on health effects in this population throughout different vulnerability windows are still a matter of concern. Exposure to EC during pregnancy may compromise placental function, resulting in fetal structural abnormalities. Specifically, this may cause physio-pathologic changes in the developing lung, which in turn may impair respiratory health later in life. Furthermore, there is evidence that using EC can cause both short- and long-term respiratory problems in the pediatric population and the…
