Evidence for a teratogenic risk in the offspring of health personnel exposed to ionizing radiation?!

2016

Background The evidence concerning safety of occupational exposure to ionizing radiation on teratogenic effects mainly relies on animal models, disaster epidemiology and experience in cancer etiology. Following an explorative result on maternal exposure in medical occupations we conducted a feasibility study, addressing congenital anomalies (CA) in the offspring of health workers potentially exposed to radiation. Methods In a prospective follow-up study, we enrolled women, identified by mandatory registration at the office of radiation protection as wearing a dosimeter. The participating women answered a questionnaire and if pregnant agreed to an examination of their infant. CA were diagnos…

Sonographic Prognostic Factors in Prenatal Diagnosis of SCT

2003

<i>Objective:</i> A subset of fetuses with sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCT) develops hydrops caused by high-output heart failure. Identification of fetuses at risk for hydrops is important because surgical intervention may reverse the pathophysiology of the disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate sonographic prognostic factors regarding tumor morphology and vascularity associated with the development of hydrops in utero. <i>Methods:</i> Over a 10-year period, we identified 7 fetuses with SCT diagnosed antenatally and managed at the University of Mainz. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of mothers and infants and recorded data on prenatal diagnosis, tumor si…

Fetal Urogenital Sinus with Consecutive Hydrometrocolpos because of Labial Fusion: Prenatal Diagnostic Difficulties and Postpartal Therapeutic Manage…

2006

<i>Objective:</i> To elucidate the differential diagnoses of tumorous dilations in the fetal pelvic region detected by prenatal ultrasound and the postnatal management demonstrated on a fetus with 29 weeks of gestation with a retrovesical located bottle-like cystic structure measuring 54 × 31 × 27 mm within the pelvis. Postnatal findings were a labial fusion and a consecutive hydrometrocolpos due to a urethrovaginal fistula. <i>Method:</i> Case report of a fetus affected by an intricate cloacal anomaly. <i>Results:</i> The long-term prognosis for this nonsyndromic form of hydrometrocolpos without any other structural defects or organic failures after oper…

Adolescents' experiences of parental employment and parenting: connections to adolescents' well-being.

2004

This paper examines whether the relationship between parental work and adolescents' well-being would be mediated through parenting behaviour. The primary focus was on the experiences of adolescents. Questionnaire-based data from families (both parents and one children, n = 77) and adolescents (n = 126) were collected in Finland in 2000 and 2001, respectively. The adolescents were on average 14 years old. Results showed that the relationships between parents' negative work experiences and adolescents' depression (all perceived by adolescents) were partially mediated by adolescents' experience of lessened autonomy granting in parenting and increased conflicts between parents and adolescents. …

Congresos de la Asociación Española de Pediatría: debate a partir de su análisis bibliométrico

2004

Antecedentes: Los congresos son reuniones periódicas necesarias para divulgar y discutir los avances en los distintos campos de la medicina. Los indicadores bibliométricos son herramientas importantes utilizadas para conocer la calidad de las publicaciones científicas, pero este tipo de estudio es infrecuente en el análisis de las comunicaciones a congresos Material y métodos: Se ha realizado un estudio bibliométrico de todas las comunicaciones publicadas en los congresos de la Asociación Española de Pediatría (AEP) durante 4 años, dividido en dos bienios (1996–1997 y 2000–2001) (n = 2.677). Los indicadores bibliométricos se han clasificado en cuantitativos (productividad), cualitativos (ac…

Increased Exposure to Violence and Risk of Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Children

2021

Exposure of children and adolescents to violence has significant short and long-term consequences in terms of academic, social, physical, and psychological functioning.1,2 The relationship of exposure to traumatic events, including various forms of violence, with depression, anger, anxiety, dissociation, posttraumatic stress, and total trauma symptoms has been widely debated.1-3 It is largely accepted that adverse early life experiences and abusive events suffered during childhood can cause profound effects on the development and function of the nervous system and increase the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders.4 Studies investigating the relationship between various types of neurodevelop…

The Role of Parenting Styles in Children's Problem Behavior

2005

This study investigated the combination of mothers' and fathers' parenting styles (affection, behavioral control, and psychological control) that would be most influential in predicting their children's internal and external problem behaviors. A total of 196 children (aged 5-6 years) were followed up six times from kindergarten to the second grade to measure their problem behaviors. Mothers and fathers filled in a questionnaire measuring their parenting styles once every year. The results showed that a high level of psychological control exercised by mothers combined with high affection predicted increases in the levels of both internal and external problem behaviors among children. Behavio…

What are the risk and protective factors for the well-being of adolescents with CF?

2021

La fibrosis quística (FQ) es una enfermedad crónica y hereditaria que compromete la vida de quienes la padecen, y se hace especialmente importante su impacto en la adolescencia. El afrontamiento que estos pacientes y sus familiares hagan de estas circunstancias que les han tocado vivir, puede mejorar o empeorar el curso y desenlace de la enfermedad. El objetivo es conocer los factores de riesgo y protectores que influyen en el bienestar de los adolescentes con FQ. Para ello se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica de la literatura científica siguiendo la guía PRISMA en las siguientes bases de datos: Web of Science, ProQuest y Scopus. Se incluyeron artículos centrados en factores psicológicos d…

Neumonía adquirida en la comunidad: tratamiento de los casos complicados y en situaciones especiales. Documento de consenso de la Sociedad Española d…

2015

Resumen: Desde hace más de una década, los casos complicados de neumonía adquirida en la comunidad, fundamentalmente con empiema pleural o formas necrosantes, comenzaron a ser más frecuentes en niños, según la amplia documentación procedente de numerosos países. El abordaje terapéutico óptimo de estos casos, tanto desde el punto de vista médico (antibióticos, fibrinolíticos) como técnico-quirúrgico, (drenaje pleural, videotoracoscopia) continúa siendo controvertido. En este documento, la Sociedad Española de Infectología Pediátrica y la Sociedad Española de Neumología Pediátrica revisan la evidencia científica y proponen unas pautas consensuadas de tratamiento de estos casos, fundamentalmen…
