Non ‐invasive Measurement of Cardiac Output Using AESCULON® mini After the Fontan Operation
ConclusionsCI does not differ between patients with an SRV and those with an SLV. However, the VET of patients with an SRV is significantly shorter than that of patients with an SLV in the acute postoperative period. Conversely, the HR of patients with an SRV is higher than that of patients with an SLV, which may mean that SRV compensates for lesser VET by increasing HR.This article is protected by copyright.

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.

Genetic determinants and stroke in children with sickle cell disease.
CONCLUSION: There is a high incidence of stroke in male children and in children with SCA. Coexistence with α-thal and haplotypes of the beta globin chain cluster did not show any significant association with stroke. The heterogeneity between previously evaluated populations, the non-reproducibility between studies, and the need to identify factors associated with stroke in patients with SCA indicate the necessity of conducting further research to demonstrate the relevance of genetic factors in stroke related to SCD.

Stroke
This 18-month-old girl developed left-sided focal seizures, left arm and leg weakness 3 days after an uncomplicated appendicectomy. She had been previously well, and the surgery was uneventful. An urgent cranial MR scan was performed under general anaesthetic within 12 h of the onset of symptoms. Look at the selected images from this study and answer the following questions. Read on to confirm the answers and learn more about the use of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in this condition. Questions There is evidence of acute intracerebral haemorrhage. (True or false?) The abnormality is in the left middle cerebral...

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...

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]

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...

Adding Stress Management to Cardiac Rehab Cuts New Incidents in Half
Contact: Samiha Khanna Phone: 919-419-5069 Email: samiha.khanna@duke.edu https://www.dukehealth.org EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE until 4 p.m. (ET) on Monday, March 21, 2016 DURHAM, N.C. -- Patients recovering from heart attacks or other heart trouble could cut their risk of another heart incident by half if they incorporate stress management into their treatment, according to research from Duke Health. The findings, published March 21 in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, are the result of a randomized clinical trial of 151 outpatients with coronary heart disease who were enrolled in cardiac rehabilitation due t...

5 tips to help teens stay heart healthy
As parents, we want our kids to stay healthy throughout their lives. The teen years are an important time to build healthy cardiovascular habits. In 2010, the American Heart Association set the bold goal of improving the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent. In setting this goal, they created a paradigm shift from the treatment of cardiovascular disease to the promotion of cardiovascular health. Their recommendation was based on more than a decade of data showing adults who reach middle age without any major cardiovascular disease risk factors have a high chance of staying healthy well into old age. They do...

The effects of malnutrition on cardiac function in African children
Conclusions In this largest study to date, we found no significant difference in cardiac function between hospitalised children with and without severe acute malnutrition. Further study is needed to determine if cardiac function is diminished in unstable malnourished children.

Brain Regions of PTSD Patients Show Differences During Fear Responses

Using functional MRI, the researchers detected unusual activity in several regions of the brain when people with PTSD were shown images that were only vaguely similar to the trauma underlying t...

Low prevalence of patients with mitochondrial disease in the German/Austrian DPV diabetes registry
Conclusion: Primary mitochondrial disorders are a rare cause of juvenile diabetes and likely to be underdiagnosed. As there is clinical overlap with T1D and T2D, dyslipidemia and low body weight may help to identify further DMO cases. What is Known: • In adults diabetes of mitochondrial origin (DMO) is a rare cause of non-autoimmune diabetes, affecting about 0.8 % of diabetes cases. • Common features are a maternal family history of diabetes, hearing loss and neurological abnorma...

Paediatric arterial ischemic stroke: acute management, recent advances and remaining issues
Stroke is a rare disease in childhood with an estimated incidence of 1-6/100.000. It has an increasingly recognised impact on child mortality along with its outcomes and effects on quality of life of patients and their families. Clinical presentation and risk factors of paediatric stroke are different to those of adults therefore it can be considered as an indipendent nosological entity. The relative rarity, the age-related peculiarities and the variety of manifested symptoms makes the diagnosis of paediatric stroke extremely difficult and often delayed. History and clinical examination should investigate underlying diseas...
