685 Food Allergy - Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease Association in Infants

2012

Background Cow’s milk allergy is considered to be the first and most common type of allergy during early infancy. Gastro-esophageal reflux disease and cow’s milk allergy are two different diseases with common clinical features. The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical data in relation with gastroesophageal reflux and cow’s milk allergy in infants. Material and Methods The prospective study includes 36 infants aged between 2–6 months who attended at Pediatric Clinic during the year 2011 for the clinical evocative manifestations of gastroesophageal reflux. Study protocol includes: clinical criteria, familial/personal atopic features, mother diet, duration of breastfeeding, infant for…

Nasal Cellularity in 183 Unselected Schoolchildren Aged 9 to 11 Years

2002

Objective. Although rhinitis is extremely frequent in children, methods for assessing the severity of nasal inflammation produce results with wide variability and hence weak clinical significance. We designed this epidemiologic investigation to define the clinical usefulness of assessing nasal cellularity in children. Methods. We studied 183 of 203 eligible unselected schoolchildren who were aged 9 to 11 years and whose parents gave informed consent and completed a questionnaire on the history of atopic and respiratory symptoms. In all children, nasal swabs were obtained from both nostrils and eluted in saline and slides were prepared from cytospin preparations for staining and white cell c…

Cribado de alteraciones visuales (parte 2)

2015

En el presente trabajo se revisan y actualizan las recomendaciones de PrevInfad sobre el cribado de alteraciones visuales en la infancia. Se analizan los beneficios en salud de la deteccion precoz, la validez y seguridad de las pruebas de cribado, la efectividad del tratamiento y los posibles riesgos de la deteccion precoz y el tratamiento de los problemas detectados. PrevInfad recomienda incluir la inspeccion ocular y la prueba del reflejo rojo en las visitas de salud de los primeros seis meses de vida, asi como la deteccion de alteraciones visuales (ambliopia, estrabismo y errores de refraccion) a la edad de 3-5 anos. La evidencia para evaluar el balance entre los beneficios y los riesgos…

Contribución de Anales de Pediatría a la visibilidad internacional de la investigación pediátrica española en la Web of Science (2010-2014)

2016

Resumen: Objetivo: Describir el papel de Anales de Pediatría en la difusión de la investigación pediátrica española e identificar las revistas con las que compite internacionalmente. Material y método: Se identificó la producción pediátrica española y la de Anales de Pediatría recogida en la categoría Pediatrics del Science Citation Index de la WoS (2010-2014) analizando su volumen y tipo documental. De los artículos originales y revisiones (artículos) se estudiaron el año, la citación y el tipo de revista de publicación (revistas generales y especializadas). De las generales, se analizó su productividad de acuerdo con su idioma, posición que ocupa en los JCR de 2012 y accesibilidad a sus c…

Developmental trends in children's pretend play.

1991

The developmental trends in pretend play were investigated in children 2-6 years of age (18 in each of five age groups) by examining changes in pretend action and speech separately. Play behaviour was assessed by using a selected set of Duplo Lego toys. Interest focused on occurrence of decentration, decontextualization and integration at different age levels. The proportions of decentred and decontextualized acts, action integrations and play themes, increased linearly with age. Changes in substitutive and inventive actions were, however, more minor than expected. Single-scheme combinations did not reveal any essential aspect of the development of children's symbolic competence. In this se…

Flow cytometric immunophenotyping: principles and pitfalls

1992

Within the last decade flow cytometry (FCM) has become an integral part of basic immunological research. Elaboration of this technology has been intensively stimulated by a rapidly growing sophistication in monoclonal antibody technology and vice versa. At present numerous applications are established that allow an increasingly detailed insight into the immune system, however, automation still must be considered the "cinderella of the arts". Thus, transition of this powerful approach from a basic to a routine clinical procedure is much more difficult than expected. Sufficient usage of flow cytometers still requires some knowledge of physics and its technical applications. Moreover, several …

Lipids, Lipoproteins and Apolipoproteins A<sub>I</sub> A<sub>II</sub>, B, C<sub>II</sub>, C<sub>III</sub…

1991

In this study lipid and apolipoprotein patterns were investigated at birth and compared with those of adults. In cord sera, cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol were 38.2, 46.2, 50.5, and 31.9%, respectively, of adult values. Apolipoprotein A<sub>II</sub>, B and C<sub>III</sub> were 48.6, 30.6 and 44.5% of adult values, while apo A<sub>I</sub>, apo C<sub>II</sub> and apo E showed values approaching those of adults (63.4, 73.3 and 89.7%, respectively). Also cholesterol/HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratios were lower in newborns. In cord sera, l…
