Diagnosis and Management of Mixed Transcortical Aphasia Due to Multiple Predisposing Factors, including Postpartum and Severe Inherited Thrombophilia, Affecting Multiple Cerebral Venous and Dural Sinus Thrombosis: Case Report and Literature Review.

Cerebral venous and dural sinus thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon disease in the general population, although it is a significant stroke type throughout pregnancy and the puerperium. Studies describing this subtype of CVT are limited. Most pregnancy-associated CVT happen in late pregnancy, or more commonly in the first postpartum weeks, being associated with venous thrombosis outside the nervous system.

Burnei's procedure in the treatment of long bone pseudarthrosis in patients having osteogenesis imperfecta or congenital pseudarthrosis of tibia - preliminary report.

Rationale: given the recalcitrant behaviour of pseudarthrosis in osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT), there is no ideal solution to treat such challenging deformities. The reconsideration of the already known principles, by using the modern technology, may generate new treatment methods.

Aim: the present paper presents the preliminary results of an original reconstruction procedure used to treat large bone defects in paediatric orthopaedics.

The electromagnetic bio-field: clinical experiments and interferences.

Introduction: One of the most important factors is the technical and scientifically rapid development that is continually modifying the world we live in and polluting it with electromagnetic radiations. A functional and structural influence of magnetic and electromagnetic field on living organisms is presented in the literature by many performed experiments.

Material And Methods: The notion of bio-field represents the electromagnetic field generated by the bio-structures, not only in their normal physiological activities but also in their pathological states.

Upper and lower limb length equalization: diagnosis, limb lengthening and curtailment, epiphysiodesis.

Introduction: This article contains notions and guidelines derived from the current therapeutic approach used in the Pediatric Orthopedics Clinic of "M.S. Curie" Hospital, Bucharest.

The therapeutic attitude in distal radial Salter and Harris type I and II fractures in children.

Introduction: Salter Harris Fractures type, especially type I and II are treated by orthopedic reduction in the emergency room or operating room, under general anesthesia, followed by plaster immobilization. Neglected or incorrectly treated fractures, leading to malunion and radiocarpal subluxations which require surgical procedure.

Purpose: This paper proposes to evaluate the correctly applied orthopedic treatment and the expose of an original surgical technique in case of neglected and incorrectly treated fractures, leading to mal-unions and impediments in the radiocarpal mobility and aesthetics.

Diagnosis and complications of renovascular hypertension in children: literature data and clinical observations.

Introduction: Renovascular hypertension in children is a very rare illness. It occurs as a result of the imbalance between hypotensive and hypertensive systems. Renal ischaemia (95% of the cases) and the shortening of hipotensive factors (5% of the cases) are responsible for the production mechanism of renovascular hypertension in children.

Malignant bone tumors: therapeutical strategies related to localization.

Modular concept of reconstruction in malignant bone tumors in children and adolescents is trying to solve a complex problem in order to replace a certain bone segment of various sizes or joint, fully adjustable and fully aware ofmorpho-functional features related to the child's age. Given the high frequency of malignant bone tumors in children, occupying the third place in osteoarticular pathology, after injuries and malformations, due to the progress made in terms of knowledge and identifying certain factors (genetical, biological, immunological, etc.) and the increasing life expectancy of these sick children, paediatric orthopedics should offer the possibility of reconstruction of the resected segment.

Acute osteomyelitis--special cases with particularities related to specific locations.

In the clinical practice of paediatric orthopaedic surgery, there are a few cases of acute osteomyelitis which are not characterized by general and local infectious syndrome, making the diagnosis difficult and leading to severe complications. The specific locations, seldom affected, are the spine, pubis, ilium, ischium, sacrum and coccyx. Comparing with other regions, spinal osteomyelitis is less frequent (1:80).

[Renovascular hypertension: symptoms and signs. Clinical study on 20 patients].

Objectives: symptoms in renovascular hypertension can be wrong interpreted, which leads to a late diagnostic, after discover the determination disease.

Materials And Methods: the study on the renovascular hypertension was made on 20 patients, aged between 2 and 36 years old, diagnosed with reno-ureteral malformations, pyelonephritis, reno-ureteral reflux and renal trauma as a determination disease, leads to manifestation types that guide the diagnostic: neuro-psychiatric signs, weight loss, renal signs and digestive signs. Beginning from these signs the arterial hypertension was diagnosed and the investigations determined the causes.

Osteoarticular reconstructive surgery in malignant bone tumors: the importance of external fixators.

This paper is a retrospective study on 8 patients admitted and treated in Paediatric Surgery and Orthopaedics Clinic of "M. S. Curie" Hospital Bucharest between 1997 and 2007.

Discal hernia in children and teenagers: medical, surgical and recovery treatment.

Lumbar disc hernia represents a rare situation for the physician. The first intervention in disc hernia was performed during the '40. The rate of surgery needing lumbar hernia is about 1-2%.

Renovascular hypertension in children: symptoms and manifestations. A 19 patients clinical study.

Unlabelled: The symptomatology in renovascular hypertension in children may be sometimes misunderstood, leading to the establishment of a late diagnosis, even after the inducing disease is diagnozed.

Methods: The main types of manifestations on which the diagonsis was established: neuropsychiatric, weight loss, renal and digestive manifestations were studied in 19 patients, age ranged 2 to 15 years old in which the main causes diagnosed were reno-ureteral malformations, pyelonephritis, reno-ureteral reflux and renal trauma. Starting from these observations the diagnosis of arterial hypertension was established and the further investigations have shown the real causes of arterial hypertension noticed.

Reno-ureteral diseases inducing hypertension in children.

Unlabelled: Revealing the cause of renal hypertension is a major objective in medical practice. A series of investigations are required in order to elucidate the primary disease and then the treatment surgical and/or medical. The transitory hypertension of adolescent is not discussed in this paper.
