Sporting Activities and Quality of Life in Children With Hemophilia: An Observational Study.

2016

Sports activities are part of multidisciplinary treatments in people with hemophilia. Aim: The objective of this study was to assess the incidence of sports activities in the quality of life as perceived by children with hemophilia. Methods: A total of 53 children with hemophilia aged 7 to 13 years and 51 children without hemophilia were evaluated. The perception of quality of life, clinical variables, and the frequency of sports activities were registered. The joint condition of patients with hemophilia was measured with the Spanish version of the Haemophilia Joint Health Score. Results: There were no significant differences in the perception of quality of life between children with hemoph…

Estudio del desarrollo del macizo craneaofacial y del globo ocular en un modelo de hipotiroidismo congénito-neonatal 2en la rata

2000

RESUMEN Nuestro objetivo es identificar factores que regulen procesos de diferenciación y proliferación celular en el globo ocular y tejidos anexos, cuya alteración estuviera relacionada con la aparición de dismorfogénesis ocular. Basándonos en publicaciones que demuestran que la hormona tiroidea (HT) modula la expresión génica en el cerebro, hemos estudiado si el hipotiroidismo congénito-neonatal (HPCN) inducido experimentalmente en la rata gestante (G) interfiere en el desarrollo embrionario de estructuras del macizo craneofacial y esbozo ocular y particularmente en la ontogénesis de la retina. El HPCN se logró mediante administración ininterrumpida a las ratas en el agua de bebida, desde…

2020

espanolRESUMEN Objetivo: Determinar el aposito con mayor efectividad (hidrocoloide o espuma de poliuretano) en neonatos ingresados en las unidades de cuidados intensivos neonatal y pediatrica del Hospital Clinico Universitario de Valencia, sometidos a ventilacion mecanica no invasiva para la prevencion de ulceras por presion nasales y/o faciales. Material y metodos: Proyecto de investigacion de tipo observacional, prospectivo y analitico cuya muestra estaba formada por 13 neonatos con ventilacion mecanica no invasiva, hospitalizados en la unidad de cuidados intensivos neonatales y pediatrica. Los neonatos fueron divididos en dos grupos: en el grupo A (7 pacientes) se empleo el aposito de es…

Observatoire francophone des néoplasies endocriniennes multiples de type 1. Un outil du Groupe d'étude des Tumeurs Endocrines (GTE)

2007

Wermer's syndrome or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type-1 (MEN1) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease, related to mutations in MEN1, an approximately 10-kb gene encoding menin, localized on chromosome 11q13. The Endocrine Tumor Group (GTE) has set up a MEN1 observatory of 1001 regularly followed MEN1 cases. This observatory aims at registering and evaluating MEN1 cases in a large cohort. Any new study on a particular unexplored aspect of the disease may be proposed by a physician to the GTE. This article describes the way to diagnose a new MEN1 case and to register it. Procedures for participating in a new study are presented. Some original results are quoted.

Spatules de Thierry ou forceps : comparaison des morbidités materno-fœtales

2016

Resume Objectif Comparer la morbidite materno-fœtale immediate lors d’une l’extraction par forceps ou par spatules de Thierry. Methodes Etude retrospective, descriptive, monocentrique de 2006 a 2012. Les extractions etaient realisees par spatules ou forceps pour defaut de progression du mobile fœtale, sur singleton, en presentation cephalique, a terme, sans anomalies du rythme cardiaque fœtal et sans pathologie gravidique associee. Resultats Notre serie comprenait 65 extractions par spatules contre 77 par forceps. Nos populations etaient comparables.

Studies of malformation syndromes of man XIB: the cerebro-hepato-renal syndrome of zellweger: Comparative pathology

1976

A study of 11 autopsied cases of the cerebro-hepato-renal syndrome of Zellweger (ZS) is reported. All cases had severe, persistent congenital hypotonia, hepatic lobular disarray, renal cortical cysts and pulmonary hypoplasia. Many had cardiovascular malformations, hepatomegaly, cerebral cortical gyral maldevelopment and pancreatic islet hyperplasia. Additional, less frequent findings are delineated. Results of iron content studies of hepatic and renal tissues are related to age of survival and possible development of fibrosis.

Esophageal atresia in newborns: a wide spectrum from the isolated forms to a full VACTERL phenotype?

2013

Background: VATER association was first described in 1972 by Quan and Smith as an acronym which identifies a non-random co-occurrence of Vertebral anomalies, Anal atresia, Tracheoesophageal fistula and/or Esophageal atresia, Radial dysplasia. It is even possible to find out Cardiovascular, Renal and Limb anomalies and the acronym VACTERL was adopted, also, embodying Vascular, as single umbilical artery, and external genitalia anomalies. Methods: Data on patients with esophageal atresia (EA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) admitted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) between January 2003 and January 2013 were evaluated for the contingent occurrence of typical VACTERL a…

Genetic syndrome suspicion: examples of clinical approach in the neonatal unit.

2010

Overgrowth syndromes: the practical clinical approach. Excessive growth can be present in a variety of medical conditions as result of abnormal fetal metabolism (i.e., maternal gestational diabetes) or of an overgrowth syndrome. Within this latter group of diseases, a LGA newborn requires a complex differential diagnosis encompassing several syndromes, such as Beckwith-Wiedemman, Sotos, Weaver, Simpson-Golabi-Behmel, Perlman, and Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba. Partial or global overgrowth, other dysmorphisms, abdominal organs anomalies, as well as benign and malignant tumors are the common issues to examine for the diagnosis and the monitoring of all these disorders. The molecular bases of these…

The diagnostic significance of cholescintigraphy and ultrasound examination in cholestatic syndromes in infancy

1988

Thirty-three neonates and infants with cholestatic syndromes of various etiologies were evaluated by cholescintigraphy and ultrasound examinations. The results of these two diagnostic procedures were compared with the final diagnosis as confirmed by liver biopsy and/or laparotomy and the clinica follow-up of the infants. Fourteen patients had an obstructive cholangiopathy (11 biliary atresia, 2 choledochal cysts, 1 congenital choledochal stenosis), 13 had neonatal hepatitis, and 6 had cholestasis of another etiology. Typical ultrasonic and/or scintigraphic findings confirmed or excluded the need for surgical exploration in 28 patients. Thus, for must infants with cholestatic syndromes it is…
