In 2003, the Swiss guidelines to prevent vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB) were adapted. As two oral doses (2 mg, hour/day 4) of mixed micellar VK preparation had failed to abolish late VKDB, a third dose (week 4) was introduced. This report summarizes the new guidelines acceptance by Swiss pediatricians and the results of a prospective 6-year surveillance to study their influence on the incidence of VKDB. The new guidelines acceptance by Swiss pediatricians was evaluated by a questionnaire sent to all pediatricians of the Swiss Society of Paediatrics. With the help of the Swiss Paediatric Surveillance Unit, the incidence of VKDB was monitored prospectively from July 1, 2005 until June 30, 2011. Over a 6-year period (458,184 live births), there was one case of early and four cases of late VKDB. Overall incidence was 1.09/105 (95 % confidence intervals (CI) 0.4–2.6). Late VKDB incidence was 0.87/105 (95 % CI 0.24–2.24). All four infants with late VKDB had an undiagnosed cholestasis at the time of bleeding; parents of 3/4 had refused VK prophylaxis, and in 1/4, the third VK dose had been forgotten. Compared with historical control who had received only two oral doses of mixed micellar VK (18 cases for 475,372 live births), the incidence of late VKDB was significantly lower with three oral doses (Chi2,Yates correction, P?=?0.007). Conclusion VKDB prophylaxis with 3?×?2 mg oral doses of mixed micellar VK seems to prevent adequately infants from VKDB. The main risk factors for VKDB in breast-fed infants are parental VK prophylaxis refusal or an unknown cholestasis. 相似文献

Recent studies suggest a role for antioxidants in the prevention of pulmonary hypoplasia associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). We studied the effects of vitamin E in the nitrofen-rat model of CDH. After an initial fast, timed-pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were gavage-fed nitrofen at gestational day 11 (term is 22 d). On the same day, one group was given a s.c. injection of vitamin E in alcohol; a second group was given an injection of alcohol alone. A third group received no treatment (control). Fetuses were delivered on day 21, and static pressure-volume curves were measured by immersion. Lungs were analyzed for total DNA and protein content by standard methods. A total of 203 fetuses were studied. Of 151 nitrofen-exposed fetuses, 77% had CDH; 92% of these were right-sided. CDH was present in 82% of vehicle-treated fetuses and 71% of vitamin E-treated fetuses (p=0.17). Nitrofen-exposed fetuses not only were smaller than control fetuses but also had disproportionately smaller lungs and poorer lung function, even when CDH was absent; however, lung function was worse when CDH was present. Vitamin E treatment did not improve either lung growth or function, although there was a trend toward less CDH. We have shown, for the first time, that the lung hypoplasia seen in nitrofen-exposed rat fetuses is associated with a dramatic reduction in static lung function, even when CDH is not present. Finally, our findings support the notion that lung hypoplasia in the nitrofen-rat model is independent of CDH formation. 相似文献

Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) for morbid obesity carries a serious risk of nutritional deficiencies that might impair embryogenesis. Consequently, attention should be given to the potential of risk to the fetus of BPD in women of childbearing age. We present the case of a pregnant woman who had undergone BPD 8 years previously, with documented vitamin A deficiency, who gave birth to a child with bilateral microphthalmia. Infectious and genetic causes of microphthalmia were excluded. A search of the literature revealed that vitamin A deficiency may cause a disruption of ocular development. We conclude that nutritional deficiencies may cause a spectrum of fetal malformations. As the effect of BPD relies on malabsorption, fetal risk should be considered before BPD is offered to morbid obese women of childbearing age. 相似文献

Can dopamine prevent the renal side effects of indomethacin? A prospective randomized clinical study
BACKGROUND: Indomethacin therapy for closure of a patent ductus arteriosus in preterm neonates is responsible for transient renal insufficiency. Dopamine theoretically reduces the renal side effects of indomethacin therapy. PATIENTS: 33 neonates with a mean gestational age of 28.5 weeks who received indomethacin for treatment of a symptomatic PDA were included in a prospective randomized controlled clinical study. METHOD: 15 patients were treated with indomethacin alone (control group), 18 patients with indomethacin and dopamine (study group). Indomethacin was given in a dose of 0.2 mg/kg/dose intravenously, all patients received three doses with intervall of 12 hours. The dose of dopamine was in all patients 4 micrograms/kg per minute commencing 2 hours prior to the first dose of indomethacin and continuing for 12 hours after the third dose. RESULTS: Indomethacin induced a significant increase in serum creatinin (76.3 mumol/l vs 99.7 mumol/l for the control group, and 70.7 mumol/l vs 93.0 mumol/l for the study group), and weight (1259 g vs 1316 g for the control group, and 1187 g vs 1221 g for the study group). The increase systolic blood pressure (61 mmHg vs 65.7 mmHg) in the study group was significant (p < 0.05) but remained unchanged in the control group. The changes between the study group and the control group were not significant either in serum creatinin, fractional excretion of sodium, or weight gain. The failure rate of ductal closure was not different between the two groups. CONCLUSION: The additional use of dopamine does not reduce the renal side effects of indomethacin. 相似文献

AIM: Orally administered sweet solutions have a pain-relieving effect during painful procedures in newborn infants. The underlying mechanism is not fully understood, but, from the results of animal research, an opioid-like mechanism is often suggested. The aim of this study was to determine whether repeated doses of orally administered glucose would cause tolerance to glucose. METHODS: Fifty-seven healthy, full-term infants were recruited on the day of birth to receive three daily doses of either 1 ml 30% glucose or sterile water for 3-5 d, after which routine blood samples were collected by heel-lance. All infants received 1 ml 30% glucose before the heel-lance was carried out. Crying time, Premature Infant Pain Profile scores and changes in heart rate were used as pain measures. RESULTS: No differences were found between the groups, either in demographic data or in the outcome variables. CONCLUSION: No tolerance was observed under the conditions prevailing in this study. However, we cannot rule out an endogenous opioid mechanism. What is clinically important is that repeated doses of glucose do not decrease the pain-relieving effect. 相似文献

A 14-year-old girl with poorly controlled asthma attended the difficult-to-treat asthma clinic for review. Although she has eosinophilia and significantly raised immunoglobulin E levels, she is not currently a candidate for omalizumab (Xolair). She also suffers from chronic urticaria, eosinophilic eosophagitis and severe conjunctivitis. You wonder if omalizumab would be effective in treating her multiple atopic conditions, in particular her troublesome conjunctivitis. PubMed was searched using the following search terms: (Omalizumab) or (Xolair) and (conjunctivitis). Searches were conducted in November 2020. Abstracts were selected for full text review if the study population identified asthma as a comorbidity. Non-paediatric studies and those that were not written in English were excluded. The use of omalizumab has the potential to be effective in the treatment of conjunctivitis associated with asthma and other atopic conditions. However, research is needed to address the question, in the form of multicenter, double-blind randomized control trials. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: It is generally accepted that celiac disease (CD) must always be considered when dealing with growth failure in children. Therefore, it is important to develop screening tests for detecting patients that need an intestinal biopsy. The aim of the present study was to investigate the value of plasma zinc levels for the diagnosis of monosymptomatic CD in short-statured children. METHODS: Fourty-nine children with a short stature and 34 healthy controls were investigated. Plasma zinc levels were assayed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in short-statured children and controls. All patients with short stature underwent endoscopic small intestinal biopsy. RESULTS: Duodenal mucosal histopathology was normal in 25 children. Low plasma zinc values were observed in 54.2% of patients with CD, 32.0% of patients with idiopathic short stature and 14.8% of controls. The mean values of plasma zinc levels were not significantly different among the three groups. Sensitivity, specificity and the positive and negative predictive values for plasma zinc were 45.8, 76.0, 64.7 and 59.4%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that zinc deficiency is an important problem in CD children with short stature; however, plasma zinc levels are not useful as a screening test for selecting patients for jejunal biopsy. 相似文献

Our previous studies of rhesus monkeys showed that combined prenatal and postnatal n-3 fatty acid deficiency resulted in reduced visual acuity, abnormal retinal function, and low retina and brain docosahexaenoic acid content. We now report effects of n-3 fatty acid deficiency during intrauterine development only. Rhesus infants, born to mothers fed an n-3 fatty acid deficient diet throughout pregnancy, were repleted with a diet high in alpha-linolenic acid from birth to 3 y. Fatty acid composition was determined for plasma and erythrocytes at several time points, for prefrontal cerebral cortex biopsies at 15, 30, 45, and 60 wk, and for cerebral cortex and retina at 3 y. Visual acuity was determined behaviorally at 4, 8, and 12 postnatal weeks, and the electroretinogram was recorded at 3-4 mo. Total n-3 fatty acids were reduced by 70-90% in plasma, erythrocytes, and tissues at birth but recovered to control values within 4 wk in plasma, 8 wk in erythrocytes, and 15 wk in cerebral cortex. At 3 y, fatty acid composition was normal in brain phospholipids, but in the retina DHA recovery was incomplete (84% of controls). Visual acuity thresholds did not differ from those of control infants from mothers fed a high linolenic acid diet. However, the repleted group had lower amplitudes of cone and rod ERG a-waves. These data suggest that restriction of n-3 fatty acid intake during the prenatal period may have long-term effects on retinal fatty acid composition and function. 相似文献

Two doses of a varicella-containing vaccine in healthy children <12 years are suggested to induce better protection than a
single dose. Persistence of immunity against measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella as well as varicella breakthrough cases
were assessed 3 years after two-dose measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) vaccination or concomitant MMR (Priorix™)
and varicella (Varilrix™) vaccination. Four hundred ninety-four healthy children, 12–18 months old at the time of the first
dose, received either two doses of MMRV vaccine (GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals) 42–56 days apart (MMRV, N = 371) or one dose of MMR and varicella vaccines administered simultaneously at separate sites, followed by another MMR vaccination
42–56 days later (MMR + V, N = 123). Three hundred-four subjects participated in 3-year follow-up for persistence of immunity and occurrence of breakthrough
varicella (MMRV, N = 225; MMR + V, N = 79). Antibodies were measured by ELISA (measles, mumps, rubella) and immunofluorescence (varicella). Contacts with individuals
with varicella or zoster and cases of breakthrough varicella disease were recorded. Three years post-vaccination seropositivity
rates in subjects seronegative before vaccination were: MMRV-measles, 98.5% (geometric mean titer [GMT] = 3,599.6); mumps,
97.4% (GMT = 1,754.5); rubella, 100% (GMT = 51.9); varicella, 99.4% (GMT = 225.5); MMR + V-measles, 97.0% (GMT = 1,818.8);
mumps, 93.8% (GMT = 1,454.6); rubella, 100% (GMT = 53.8); and varicella, 96.8% (GMT = 105.8). Of the subjects, 15–20% reported
contact with individuals with varicella/zoster each year. After 3 years, the cumulative varicella breakthrough disease rate
was 0.7% (two cases) in the MMRV group and 5.4% (five cases) in the MMR + V group. Conclusion: Immunogenicity of the combined MMRV vaccine was sustained 3 years post-vaccination. (208136/041/NCT00406211). 相似文献

The relationship between myocardial iron load and eccentric myocardial remodeling remains an under‐investigated area; it was thought that remodeling is rather linked to fibrosis. This study aims to determine whether or not measures of remodeling can be used as predictors of myocardial iron. For this purpose, 60 patients with thalassemia were studied with 3D echocardiography and myocardial relaxometry (T2*) by Cardiac MRI. 3D derived sphericity index was significantly higher in patients with myocardial iron load. It was correlated with T2* with a 100% sensitivity and specificity (cut‐off value of 0.34) to discriminate between patients with and without myocardial iron overload. 相似文献
