What Genetics are Associated with Multiple Sclerosis?
Discussion Multiple sclerosis (MS) is “a chronic degenerative, often episodic disease of the central nervous system marked by patchy destruction of the myelin that surrounds and insulates nerve fibers, usually appearing in young adulthood and manifested by one or more mild to severe neural and muscular impairments, as spastic weakness in one or more limbs, local sensory losses, bladder dysfunction, or visual disturbances.” It is a chronic disease and therefore symptoms must occur more than once. The first episode is called an acute demyelinating attack. Fifteen to forty-five percent of children with their first...

Hemodynamic, Hematological, and Hormonal Responses to Submaximal Exercise in Normobaric Hypoxia in Pubescent Girls.
CONCLUSION: Our simulated hypoxic environment provided a mild environmental stressor that did not impose a heavy burden on the cardiovascular, hematological, or immunological functions during submaximal exercise in pubescent girls. PMID: 27045322 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Monitoring of newborns at high risk for brain injury
Abstract Due to the increasing number of surviving preterm newborns and to the recognition of therapeutic hypothermia as the current gold standard in newborns with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy, there has been a growing interest in the implementation of brain monitoring tools in newborns at high risk for neurological disorders. Among the most frequent neurological conditions and presentations in the neonatal period, neonatal seizures and neonatal status epilepticus, paroxysmal non-epileptic motor phenomena, hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy, white matter injury of prematurity and stroke require specif...

Breast Milk Consumption in Preterm Neonates and Cardiac Shape in Adulthood
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides the first evidence of a beneficial association between breast milk and cardiac morphology and function in adult life in those born preterm and supports promotion of human milk for the care of preterm infants to reduce long-term cardiovascular risk.

A conceptual and practical approach to haemostasis in paediatric liver disease
Conclusion: we propose a model regarding haemostasis in paediatric liver disease, taking into account a number of specific variables and mechanisms, as well as the type of liver disease, which will provide a framework for clinical decision-making in these complex patients.

Progress in pediatrics in 2015: choices in allergy, endocrinology, gastroenterology, genetics, haematology, infectious diseases, neonatology, nephrology, neurology, nutrition, oncology and pulmonology
AbstractThis review focuses key advances in different pediatric fields that were published in Italian Journal of Pediatrics and in international journals in 2015. Weaning studies continue to show promise for preventing food allergy. New diagnostic tools are available for identifying the allergic origin of allergic-like symptoms. Advances have been reported in obesity, short stature and autoimmune endocrine disorders. New molecules are offered to reduce weight gain and insulin-resistance in obese children. Regional investigations may provide suggestions for preventing short stature. Epidemiological studies have evidenced th...

Using animal models to improve care of neonatal encephalopathy
Introduction Neonatal encephalopathy (NE) is responsible for a significant burden of disability and death worldwide.1 The use of animal models in the study of perinatal hypoxia-ischaemia (HI) has a history of over 200 years; studies initially showed that the premature animal is more tolerant of asphyxia than a term animal, which is in turn more resistant to asphyxia than an adult.2 3 In the 1950s to the 1970s, studies in the primate model showed that the pattern of brain injury was clearly influenced by the severity and type of HI; these studies led to a description of two patterns of injury, namely acute total asphyx...

A thicker intima ‐media carotid wall was found in a cohort of children with recent onset migraine
ConclusionWe observed a significantly thicker cIMT in children with migraine compared with the controls. The brief time interval between the onset of the disease and the time of the study makes it unlikely that repetitive migraine attacks could be responsible for the thickening of the cIMT. Thus it may be speculated that primitive vascular function abnormalities were wholly or partly responsible for the development of migraine in this paediatric cohort.This article is protected by copyright.

Pediatric Sickle Cell Disease - Past Successes and Future Challenges.
Abstract Once a fatal disease of childhood, more than 95% of patients born today with sickle cell disease (SCD) in developed countries are expected to survive into adulthood, largely because of improvements in supportive and preventive care (newborn screening, penicillin prophylaxis, transcranial Doppler (TCD) screening). Hydroxyurea (HU) therapy, the only oral medication currently available to prevent SCD complications, has become more widespread over the past 20 years. The NHLBI recommends that HU be offered to all patients with HbSS beginning at nine months of age, and the recently published Abnormal TCD with T...

International Survey of Critically Ill Children With Acute Neurologic Insults: The Prevalence of Acute Critical Neurological Disease in Children: A Global Epidemiological Assessment Study*
Conclusions: Neurologic insults are a significant pediatric international health issue. They are frequent and contribute substantial morbidity and mortality. These data suggest a need for an increased focus on acute critical neurologic diseases in infants and children including additional research, enhanced availability of clinical resources, and the development of new therapies.

Question 2 Is levosimendan better than milrinone in preventing post operative low cardiac output syndrome and improving cardiac function in children with congenital heart disease?
Scenario You work in a paediatric cardiac intensive care unit (ICU), the unit protocol is to start prophylactic milrinone intraoperatively to prevent low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS). You receive a patient for whom levosimendan was started intraoperatively instead of milrinone, and you wonder whether levosimendan is superior to milrinone. Structured clinical question In postoperative congenital heart disease children (population), is levosimendan (intervention) better than milrinone (comparison) in improving cardiac function and prevention of LCOS (outcome), shown by heart rate, cardiac output/stroke volume, lactate clea...

Brain Injury and Neurodevelopmental Outcome in Congenital Heart Disease: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSIONS: Prenatal and postnatal preoperative abnormal cerebral findings might play an important role in neurodevelopmental impairment in infants with CHD. Increased awareness of the vulnerability of the young developing brain of an infant with CHD among caregivers is essential.
