The aim of this study was to compare conventional and tissue Doppler echocardiography parameters between transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) and healthy control infants. This cross sectional pilot observational study was conducted in a level 3 neonatal care unit of India. Consecutively born late preterm and term infants (LPTI) with TTN were eligible for enrollment. Control group was selected from healthy LPTI. Conventional and tissue Doppler (myocardial velocities, myocardial performance index (MPI)) echocardiography was done within first 12 h (D1) and 48-72 h (D3) of life...

The present study explores the concurrent contribution to sleep problems of individual-related, family-related, and school-related factors in adolescence. Gathering from the Italian 2018 Health Behavior in School-Aged Children (HBSC) data collection, we used hierarchical logistic regression on a sample of 3397 adolescents (51% females, Mage = 13.99, SD = 1.62) to explore the contribution to sleep problems of the individual (Model 1: alcohol use, smoking, screen time, physical activity), familial (Model 2: parental communication, parental support), and school-related (Model 3: peer support, schoolmates/students support, teacher support and school pressure) variables...

UNLABELLED: Influenza virus is generally characterized by fever, myalgia, and respiratory symptoms. Neurological entities have already been described, such as acute necrotizing encephalitis (ANE). We aimed to highlight the non-exceptional nature and explore the clinical spectrum and evolution of neurological features related to influenza virus in children. This monocentric observational study included patients under 18 years old, positive for influenza virus, between January 2017 and April 2019 in a pediatric university hospital...

UNLABELLED: Genetic syndromes often show facial features that provide clues for the diagnosis. However, memorizing these features is a challenging task for clinicians. In the last years, the app Face2Gene proved to be a helpful support for the diagnosis of genetic diseases by analyzing features detected in one or more facial images of affected individuals. Our aim was to evaluate the performance of the app in patients with Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) and Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS)...

UNLABELLED: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of 0.01% atropine eye drops in preventing myopia shift and myopia onset in premyopic children. A prospective, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, and crossover trial was conducted over 13 months. Sixty premyopic children aged 6-12 years with cycloplegic spherical equivalent refraction (SER) >  - 0.75 D and ≤  + 0.50 D in both eyes were assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive one drop of 0...

Diaphragmatic thickness (Tdi) and diaphragm thickening fraction (dTF) are widely used parameters in ultrasound studies of the diaphragm in mechanically ventilated children, but normal values for healthy children are scarce. We determined reference values of Tdi and dTF using ultrasound in healthy children aged 0-8 years old and assessed their reproducibility. In a prospective, observational cohort, Tdi and dTF were measured on ultrasound images across four age groups comprising at least 30 children per group: group 1 (0-6 months), group 2 (7 months-1 year), group 3 (2-4 years) and group 4 (5-8 years)...

UNLABELLED: A significant increase in pornography use has been reported in the adolescent population worldwide over the past few years, with intensification of the phenomenon during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the present review is to provide data on the frequency of pornography consumption among adolescents during the pandemic and raise awareness about its potential impact on personal beliefs and sexual attitudes in the long term.

Ingestion of caustic agents by children is a serious health issue that can affect the patient for the rest of his life. The role of sucralfate in preventing stricture caused by caustic agents is controversial, and limited studies have been conducted in this field. We aimed to investigate the effect of sucralfate on preventing esophageal stricture in children. Sixty children with mean age of 36.69 ± 20.50 months and grade II B esophageal burns due to ingestion of caustic agents were enrolled in the study...

In children with congenital heart disease (CHD), pulmonary blood flow (Qp) contributes to alterations of pulmonary mechanics and gas exchange, while cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induces lung edema. We aimed to determine the effect of hemodynamics on lung function and lung epithelial lining fluid (ELF) biomarkers in biventricular CHD children undergoing CPB. CHD children were classified as high Qp (n = 43) and low Qp (n = 17), according to preoperative cardiac morphology and arterial oxygen saturation...

Prescribing errors represent a safety risk for hospitalized patients, especially in pediatrics. Computerized physician order entry (CPOE) might reduce prescribing errors, although its effect has not yet been thoroughly studied on pediatric general wards. This study investigated the impact of a CPOE on prescribing errors in children on general wards at the University Children's Hospital Zurich. We performed medication reviews on a total of 1000 patients before and after the implementation of a CPOE. The CPOE included limited clinical decision support (CDS) such as drug-drug interaction check and checks for duplicates...

Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency is a rare inherited neurometabolic disorder that can lead to severe physical and developmental impairment. This report includes 16 patients from the Middle East and is the largest series of patients with confirmed AADC deficiency from this region reported to date. The patients displayed a range of signs and symptoms at presentation and almost all failed to reach major motor milestones. Missed and delayed diagnoses were common leading to the late introduction of targeted treatments...

The associations between digital media use and mental well-being among children and adolescents have been inconclusive. We examined (i) the associations between digital media use and mental health outcomes, anxiety, depression, and ADHD, (ii) whether family resilience and neighborhood factors attenuate the associations, and (iii) whether sleep mediates these associations. We used the National Survey of Children's Health data from 2019 to 2020. A total of 45,989 children's (6-17 years) data were analyzed in this study...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a known independent risk factor for morbidity/mortality but there is scarcity of robust data on it among childhood nephrotic syndrome (NS). We assessed the incidence of AKI among hospitalized children with NS as well as looked for any significant risk factors. Prospective observational study conducted across two tertiary pediatric hospitals in Eastern India from September 2020 to August 2021. Children aged 1-18 years admitted with NS and without any nephritic features or pre-existing chronic kidney disease (CKD) were included...

Although several studies have shown that undernutrition is frequent in children with cerebral palsy (CP), studies determining predictors of undernutrition and its impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are scarce. This study aimed to assess the prevalence, severity, and predictors of malnutrition in children with CP and its impact on quality of life. This prospective study was performed between August 2019 and December 2021 in children with a clinical diagnosis of CP aged 2-18 years. We also intended to determine the socio-demographic and clinical predictors of undernutrition in these children and its impact on HRQoL, measured by the cerebral palsy quality of life (CPQoL)-Primary Caregiver reported version...

Several health-related quality of life (HRQOL) questionnaires for adults with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have been developed so far. However, an adolescent-specific HRQOL questionnaire for PCOS patients is still lacking. Hence, this study aimed to develop and validate a questionnaire to assess HRQOL in adolescents with PCOS. This mixed-method study was conducted in Tehran, Iran, from 2018 to 2020. The qualitative phase was conducted on 18 target participants, and in the quantitative phase, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed on 200 adolescents with PCOS and confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) on the other 200 ones...
