European Journal of Pediatrics > 1997 > 156 > 5 > 384-388

Abstract Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) applied shortly after birth is said to be an effective treatment of respiratory distress in very low birth weight infants (VLBW). We tested the hypothesis that the use of early nasal CPAP (applied as soon as signs of respiratory distress occurred, usually within 15 min after birth) reduces the need for intubation, the duration of intermittent...

European Journal of Pediatrics > 1997 > 156 > 5 > 394-396

Abstract Steroid therapy has been widely used in neonates for its beneficial effects. Adverse side-effects have been described, also affecting the cardiovascular system. We report two cases of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in two preterm newborns secondary to dexamethasone treatment. Full recovery occurred after discontinuing steroids. Risk/benefit ratios must be carefully considered before using steroids...

Antenatal ambroxol treatment does not prevent the respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants

C. Dani, P. V. Grella, L. Lazzarin, F. F. Rubaltelli

European Journal of Pediatrics > 1997 > 156 > 5 > 392-393

Abstract The effectiveness of ambroxol in the prevention of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome and in reducing the need for intermittent mandatory ventilation and oxygen therapy was studied in 88 mothers whose infants was born between 24 and 34 weeks of gestation and who were randomized either for treatment with ambroxol (group A=42) or served as control (group B=46). There were no significant...

European Journal of Pediatrics > 1997 > 156 > 5 > 382-383

Abstract A new case of mitochondrial malonyl coenzyme A decarboxylase deficiency is described. The patient presented with an initial episode of metabolic acidosis, seizures, hypoglycemia, and cardiac failure at 2 months of age which slowly resolved. Subsequent evaluations at 4 years of age for developmental delay revealed a prominent elevation of malonic acid in urine. Malonyl carnitine was also elevated...

The effect of obesity, age, puberty and gender on resting metabolic rate in children and adolescents

D. Molnr, Y. Schutz

European Journal of Pediatrics > 1997 > 156 > 5 > 376-381

Abstract During puberty fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) change quickly and these changes are influenced by sex and obesity. Since it is not completely known how these changes affect resting metabolic rate (RMR), the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of body composition, age, sex and pubertal development of postabsorptive RMR in 9.5- to 16.5-year-old obese and non-obese children...

Sudden infant death and prevalence of whooping cough in the Swedish and Norwegian communities

C. Lindgren, J. Milerad, H. Lagercrantz

European Journal of Pediatrics > 1997 > 156 > 5 > 405-409

Abstract Whooping cough (WC) has been suggested to be a trigger factor for sudden infant death (SID), the proposed mechanism being unrecognised hypoxaemic episodes. In contrast to Norway, Sweden ceased its immunisation programme against Bordetella pertussis (BP) in 1979. We investigated the relation between SID mortality and the prevalence of BP during 1983 to 1988, by month, in the two ethnically...

Pseudohypo-aldosteronism and cholelithiasis: coincidence or pathogenetic correlation?

I. Akkurt, U. Kuhnle, C. Ringenberg

European Journal of Pediatrics > 1997 > 156 > 5 > 363-366

AbstractCholelithiasis is being documented with increasing frequency in the paediatric age group. Causes of gallstone formation in infants and neonates seem to differ from those in older children and adolescents. Two infants with pseudohypo-aldosteronism and cholelithiasis are reported. Salt-wasting and dehydration in pseudohypo-aldosteronism are suggested to be the pathogenetic mechanisms leading...

Abnormal insulin response to glucose following treatment for Wilms tumor in childhood

A. Cicognani, E. Cacciari, A. F. Mancini, A. Pasini, więcej

European Journal of Pediatrics > 1997 > 156 > 5 > 371-375

Abstract To determine whether -cell function could be impaired by the treatment for Wilms tumour (WT) in childhood, we investigated the insulin secretion of 44 survivors of WT (22 males) with a median off-treatment follow up of 8.3 years (range 119.8). All patients had an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) (0.5 gm/kg, max 25 g) to determine the first-phase insulin response (FPIR) (sum of the...

Plasma lipid and apolipoprotein concentrations in full term infants fed formula supplemented with long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol

European Journal of Pediatrics > 1997 > 156 > 5 > 397-400

Abstract Recent data indicate that supplementation of infant formula with -3 and -6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids might offer developmental benefits for full term infants. We investigated biochemical consequences of feeding formula supplemented with egg lipids to provide long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and compared triglyceride, cholesterol, lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL2-cholesterol,...

Cerebral haemorrhage in long-term survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia

T. Humpl, K. Brhl, J. Bohl, M. Schwarz, więcej

European Journal of Pediatrics > 1997 > 156 > 5 > 367-370

Abstract Modern treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) has dramatically improved the prognosis for children with this disease. Therapeutic approaches consist of multimodal chemotherapy and radiotherapy with significant long-term side-effects. We report on 4 children out of a group of 120 newly diagnosed patients with ALL, who survived the disease for more than 2 years and developed...

Neonatal morbidity and mortality associated with maternal haemolysis elevated liver enzymes and low platelets syndrome

European Journal of Pediatrics > 1997 > 156 > 5 > 389-391

Abstract To compare the impact of maternal haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets (HELLP) syndrome, uncomplicated hypertension in pregnancy (HIP), and no hypertension (controls) on neonatal morbidity and mortality, 108 infants were matched with respect to gestational age, date of birth, and gender. The HELLP group infants had more grade 3 and 4 respiratory distress syndromes (36%) than...

A comparison of intratracheal and intravenous administration of gentamicin during liquid ventilation

M. A. Zelinka, M. R. Wolfson, I. Calligaro, S. D. Rubenstein, więcej

European Journal of Pediatrics > 1997 > 156 > 5 > 401-404

Abstract Pulmonary absorption of aminoglycosides is poor with intravenous administration, but may be enhanced by direct intratracheal administration of these drugs using perfluorochemical liquid ventilation (LV). To test this hypothesis, gentamicin sulfate was administered to two groups of newborn lambs during LV. Serum and lung tissue levels of gentamicin were compared after either pulmonary intratracheal...

Final height outcome in girls with Turner syndrome treated with a combination of low dose oestrogen and oxandrolone

P. Bareille, A. A. Massarano, R. Stanhope

European Journal of Pediatrics > 1997 > 156 > 5 > 358-362

Abstract Final stature in girls with Turner syndrome treated with combination of low dose oestrogen and oxandrolone. Nineteen prepubertal girls with Turner syndrome (mean age 10.9 years, range, 8.914.2 years) were randomly assigned to receive either oxandrolone (0.05 mg/kg/day) or ethinyloestradiol (40 ng/kg/day) for 1 year. Subsequently the alternate therapy was added and the combination given until...

A retrospective analysis of ingestion of caustic substances by children. Ten-year statistics in Galicia

European Journal of Pediatrics > 1997 > 156 > 5 > 410-414

Abstract We reviewed the case histories of 743 children seen at our hospital from 1981 to 1990 for suspected ingestion of caustic substances. Mean patient age was 27 months; 85% of patients were less than 3 years old. The male-to-female ratio was about 2:1. About 53% of patients were from urban environments. All ingestions appear to have been accidental. Of the 743 children, 20% presented oesophageal...

A critical appraisal of current management practices for infant regurgitation recommendations of a working party

Y. Vandenplas, D. Belli, P. Benhamou, S. Cadranel, więcej

European Journal of Pediatrics > 1997 > 156 > 5 > 343-357

Abstract Regurgitation is a common manifestation in infants below the age of 1 year and a frequent reason of counselling of general practitioners and paediatricians. Current management starts with postural and dietary measures, followed by antacids and prokinetics. Recent issues such as an increased risk of sudden infant death in the prone sleeping position and persistent occult gastro-oesophageal...
