PURPOSE: To investigate the clinical value of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols for children with neuroblastoma (NB). METHODS: This retrospective review was conducted by using the electronic medical records of 48 children with retroperitoneal localized NB who underwent tumor resection (surgery for treatment, not diagnosis) between October 2016 and September 2021. The ERAS protocols for NB excision were implemented in 28 children (ERAS group), while 20 children received traditional care (TRAD group)...

Purpose: Discharging infants from the NICU is complex, requiring the coordination of multiple aspects of care. Patient follow-up includes transferring medical care to primary care providers (PCP) who initially may have to rely on parents/caregivers for details about the child's history and current needs. Improving communication between the NICU and primary care offices within this pediatric health system was a goal of the organization, especially as value-based care was launched. Design: A pilot program was introduced in which families, PCP, and NICU providers for medically complex infants were offered the opportunity to participate in video conference calls...

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The intensive conditioning regimens administered during bone marrow transplant (BMT) frequently cause mucositis, gastrointestinal toxicity and reduced oral intake. Children are consequently at risk of malnutrition. First-line nutrition support is recommended as enteral nutrition (EN). Nasogastric tube (NGT) is the mainstay for administration. Gastrostomies provide an alternative, but there is limited evidence of their efficacy and safety in paediatric BMT. This study aimed to compare enteral tube complications and nutritional and clinical outcomes between children with a gastrostomy versus NGT throughout BMT...

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a gastrointestinal condition usually found in premature neonates. Our case involves a full-term, 3-month-old male who was found to have pneumatosis after surgical repair of congenital cardiac defects. After cessation of enteral feeds, nasogastric tube decompression, and broad-spectrum antibiotics, breast milk was reintroduced 8 days after his procedure. Hematochezia developed, but repeat abdominal X-rays were normal with benign abdominal examinations, stable vital signs, and improved laboratory findings...

Esophageal thermal injury (ETI) is an uncommon occurrence in both children and adults. Therefore, little is known about the diagnosis and clinical course of patients suffering from these injuries. We present the case of an 11-year-old female with macrocephaly capillary malformation syndrome and developmental delay suffering from ETI after ingestion of a piece of hot butternut squash. Endoscopy revealed linear, white plaques consistent with thermal burns. Management involved respiratory support, local and systemic analgesia, antibiotics, and nasogastric tube feedings...

BACKGROUND: Various flexible and semi-rigid catheter techniques have been reported for surfactant delivery during less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) in preterm infants. Data on the effect of catheter selection on procedural success rates and adverse events are limited. Our objective was to compare the rates of success and adverse events of LISA performed with nasogastric tube and semi-rigid catheter. METHODS: This was a post-hoc analysis of data from a quality improvement project...

BACKGROUND: cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome is a rare genetic disorder affecting less than 900 people in the world. It is mainly characterized by craniofacial, dermatologic and cardiac defects, but also gastroenterological symptoms may be present, ranging from feeding difficulties to gastroesophageal reflux and constipation.In this report we describe a case of this syndrome characterized by severe feeding and growth difficulties, with a particular focus on the management of gastroenterological complications...

BACKGROUND: Nasal cytology at birth and in the pediatric age is barely investigated regarding its association with the onset of common pediatric diseases. METHODS: We enrolled 241 newborns within their first 24 h of life, studying their nasal cellular composition and repeating this at 1 and 3 years of life. We collected anamneses of perinatal factors and external factors (parental smoking, passive smoking, breastfeeding), and the prevalence of otitis, rhinosinusitis, bronchitis, asthma, and allergy at all timepoints...

The management of the esophageal strictures that may result from caustic ingestion has evolved over time, from surgical to endoscopic management. Dilation with nasogastric tubes may be a valuable alternative in places with limited resources.

Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) is a prolonged refractory status epilepticus (SE) that develops among healthy individuals after a febrile infection. FIRES treatment is challenging due to its poor response to antiseizure medications (ASMs) and anesthetic drugs. The use of cannabidiol (CBD) as an adjunctive treatment has been suggested, albeit data about its role in the acute phase is lacking. This report describes the use of purified CBD in the acute phase of two pediatric cases of FIRES and their long-term outcome...

INTRODUCTION: Both respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza-associated lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) cause serious respiratory infections in infants and toddlers. We aimed to assess the frequency of complex hospital courses among patients admitted with influenza versus RSV LRTI.

During a 2-year period, eight cases of a distinct illness were seen among 1,424 neonates admitted to a newly established neonatal care unit in southern Haiti. The newborns presented with a picture of sepsis with shock, vomiting, hypotonia, lethargy, and abdominal distention. Five cases proved fatal and another case left the hospital against advice in extremis with little chance of survival. In each case, the illness was associated with a history of ingestion of teas that included castor oil, known as lok in Haitian Creole...

PURPOSE: Evaluation of the results of sutureless amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) using a pediatric nasogastric tube (NGT) for patients with acute Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) was aimed. METHODS: Twenty-six eyes of 13 patients with SJS/TEN with ocular involvement at a single tertiary care hospital between May 2020 and January 2022 were included in the study. An amniotic membrane was implanted to the ocular surface and conjunctival fornix using a modified symblepharon ring (MR) created by inserting NGT end-to-end...

BACKGROUND: Anastomotic leakage is a life-threatening complication. Improvement of the anastomosis technique is needed, especially in patients with an inflamed edematous intestine. The aim of our study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an asymmetric figure-of-eight single-layer suture technique for intestinal anastomosis in pediatric patients. METHODS: A total of 23 patients underwent intestinal anastomosis at the Department of Pediatric Surgery of Binzhou Medical University Hospital...

OBJECTIVES: Many protocols and preparations are used for bowel cleansing before paediatric colonoscopy but few are based on scientific evidence. We evaluated efficacy, safety, tolerability, and patient preference of Oral Sulphate Solution (OSS) at 75% of the adult dose versus polyethylene glycol (PEG)-electrolyte solution in adolescents presenting for diagnostic colonoscopy. METHODS: Phase III, randomised, evaluator-blinded, non-inferiority study of OSS and PEG in adolescents aged 12-17 years...

Guidelines recommend initiating supplemental enteral feeding through a nasogastric (NG) or gastrostomy tube (G-tube) in patients with chronic kidney disease who have inadequate oral intake despite repeated nutritional counseling. While G-tube placement is shown to improve both nutritional status and anthropometric indices of children with CKD in developed regions, information from developing countries is lacking. This retrospective report reviewed the impact of G-tube feeding on nutritional intakes and anthropometric parameters over a 1-y follow-up in 5 children with CKD-5D managed at one tertiary care center in India...

BACKGROUND: Children with medical complexity need complex assistance, that considerably affects caregivers' quality of life. They often need multiple medications, with a consequent relevant risk of errors or poor compliance. Galenic (or compounded) drugs are blended in the pharmacy's laboratory worldwide according to different rules and tailoring the patient's needs. While their use may sometimes simplify these therapies, little is known about parents' attitude about this issue. AIM: This study aimed at investigating the complexity of the daily therapy management and exploring the parents' opinions about galenic compounds...
