ASAH1 Variants Causing Spinal Muscular Atrophy Phenotype
AbstractSpinal muscular atrophy with progressive myoclonic epilepsy (SMA-PME) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder due to mutations in theASAH1 gene. SMA-PME is characterized by progressive muscle weakness from three to seven years of age, drug refractory epilepsy, and variable degree of cognitive decline. Nearly 50 cases have been reported worldwide so far. Here the authors present a case of 9-y-old boy affected by SMA-PME characterized by progressive proximal weakness, and lower motor neuron disease, as proven by muscle biopsy, electro diagnostic studies and whole exome sequencing (WES). WES revealed compound heterozyg...

Protocolized Sedation Utilizing COMFORT-B Scale versus Non-protocol-directed Sedation in Mechanically Ventilated Children — An Open-label, Randomized Controlled Trial
This study aimed to determine the effect of protocolized sedation using the COMFORT-B scale on the duration of mechanical ventilation (DMV). Eighty children with anticipated Duration of mechanical ventilation (DMV) >24 h admitted to the Pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) were randomized into one group that received protocolized sedation (PS) using the COMFORT behavioural (COMFORT-B) scale, and another group that received non-protocolized sedation (NPS). The primary outcome was the impact on the DMV. The DMV wa s significantly lower in PS (PS: 3.5 [3–7] vs. NPS group: 8.5 [4.25–13.75] d;p = 0.008). The cum...

Other Causes of Chronic Diarrhea in Children
AbstractChronic diarrhea is still an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children. There are several causes of chronic diarrhea which may be due to intestinal, extra-intestinal or underlying systemic diseases. The etiology varies depending on the age of onset and may include both common and uncommon disorders. In this article some of the uncommon disorders such as immune deficiencies, intestinal lymphangiectasias, drug induced diarrhea, eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders, endocrinopathies, neuroendocrine secretory tumors, malignancy and factitious diarrhea have been included. Though these disorders are uncom...
