Positional plagiocephaly from structure to function: Clinical experience of t...Braglia
Objective: Aim of the study is to evaluate disorders related to positional plagiocephaly and introduce a new model of early intervention based on the osteopathic
integrated approach.
Methods: We review clinical experience of the “Program for Neurodevelopmental Follow-up and Pediatric Osteopathy”, a service dedicated to newborns at risk for
developmental disorders.
Results: We present clinical data of 310 newborns followed during first years of life. Data analysis examines perinatal history, general features and disorders that
could be related to plagiocephaly.
Conclusions: The experience confirms that plagiocephaly is not only a problem regarding the shape of the head, it involves the functions. In our Service most babies
(81%) with positional plagiocephaly showed isolated or associated disorders that had an impact on growth, behavior and development. The early intervention based
on the osteopathic integrated approach is addressed not only to the cranial shape but consider the baby as a whole, and the environment where he lives.

Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is a narrowing of the pylorus, the opening between the stomach and small intestine, caused by thickening of the pyloric muscles. It most commonly affects male infants between 2-8 weeks of age. Symptoms include projectile vomiting after feeding. Diagnosis is confirmed through imaging studies and physical exam finding an olive-sized mass. Surgical pyloromyotomy is the standard treatment, where the thickened pyloric muscles are cut to widen the opening. Post-operative nursing care focuses on pain management, resuming feeding and monitoring for complications. With early diagnosis and treatment, prognosis is excellent.

This Volume of Progress in Clinical Neurosciences brings to you a synthesized overview of clinically relevant topics in an easy-to-read format. It would enable both the practicing Clinician and the student in training to update their knowledge and apply it in day-to-day practice. The most significant advances in traumatic brain injury, pituitary adenomas, myasthenia gravis, epilepsy source localization, and poststroke rehabilitation have been addressed. The controversies regarding the management of low grade gliomas, solitary brain metastasis and optimal surgical approach to colloid cysts are discussed cogently. A systematic diagnostic approach to myelopathy and encephalopathy is illustrated. The future of neurosurgical education is simulation and there is a detailed explanation of this strategy. The importance and relevance of clinical examination in today's era of highly advanced diagnostic imaging cannot be understated and this has been put forth emphatically.

Prehospital Care of the Pediatric Trauma Patient dpark419
An evidence based review of prehospital care of the pediatric trauma patient. This lecture was given to EMS personnel at the Medical University of South Carolina on 12/3/14.
This study aimed to assess the accuracy of prenatal ultrasound measurements of the interventricular septum (IVS) thickness, right myocardial wall thickness (RMWT), and left myocardial wall thickness (LMWT) in predicting postnatal outcomes in infants of diabetic mothers. 120 diabetic pregnant women underwent ultrasounds late in pregnancy to measure IVS, RMWT, and LMWT. Postnatal echocardiograms on infants found thicker values in those with uncontrolled diabetes. A prenatal IVS thickness of ≥4.5mm or IVS/LMWT ratio of ≤1.18 predicted hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and higher risks of fetal death or neonatal mortality.

This document discusses the early stages of human embryonic development. It describes how the embryo progresses from a blastocyst to a trilaminar embryo with three germ layers - ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. It explains the process of gastrulation and neurulation, where the neural plate forms and folds to become the neural tube. The early formation of the optic sulci that will become the eyes is also covered. The embryology of early eye development and differentiation of the germ layers is essential for understanding many pediatric neuro-ophthalmic conditions.
This editorial discusses advances and future directions in research on congenital heart disease (CHD). It notes that survival after surgery for CHD has dramatically improved over the past few decades, from near universal fatality to over 96% expected survival today. However, outcomes are now measured not just by survival but also long-term quality of life. Future areas of focus include tissue engineering to create biological implants that grow with the patient, understanding and preventing neurological impacts of in utero blood flow abnormalities, and identifying causes and potential treatments for CHD at the molecular level before birth. Continued multidisciplinary research holds promise to further improve lives of those born with CHD.

Perinatal magnesium administration and the prevention of periventricular leuk...Ross Finesmith M.D.
This study examined the effect of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) on the development of cystic periventricular leukomalacia (cPVL) in preterm infants. The researchers conducted a retrospective case-control study of 492 preterm infants born between 1992-1994 weighing less than 1750g who survived at least 7 days. They found infants exposed to MgSO4 in utero were less likely to develop cPVL. Specifically, 2 of 18 infants with cPVL were exposed to MgSO4 compared to 14 of 36 controls, indicating MgSO4 exposure is associated with a reduced risk of cPVL. Further analysis confirmed the groups were similar in other variables and preeclampsia alone did
Core clinical cases in paediatrics a problem solving approach (2005) copyKatie Roberts
The likely differential diagnoses are:
- Constitutional delay of growth and puberty (most common)
- Growth hormone deficiency
- Hypothyroidism
- Malnutrition/chronic illness
- Chromosomal abnormalities e.g. Turner syndrome
Q2: What issues in the given history support the diagnosis?
A2:
The history that the child is the shortest in his class and cannot reach the coat pegs supports a diagnosis of short stature. The fact that he is on the 3rd centile for height also supports this.
Q3: What additional features in the history would you seek to support a particular diagnosis?
A3: Additional history that would help support specific diagnoses:

A statewide quality improvement project found opportunities to improve protocols and management of seizures. The document provides information on assessing and managing different types of pediatric seizures encountered in pre-hospital and emergency department settings, including febrile seizures, first unprovoked seizures, and status epilepticus. It emphasizes history taking, vital sign monitoring, seizure and airway precautions, and guidelines for diagnostic testing.
