Article Synopsis
- Hereditary fructose intolerance is a rare genetic disorder that leads to severe health issues, including liver failure and growth problems, when someone is exposed to fructose.
- A 2-month-old boy with pyloric stenosis developed serious complications, including abnormal blood clotting and liver failure, prompting genetic testing.
- The tests identified specific gene mutations linked to hereditary fructose intolerance, and after starting a fructose-free diet, the patient's health improved significantly.
Background: Nasal high-flow therapy is an alternative to nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) as a means of respiratory support for newborn infants. The efficacy of high-flow therapy in nontertiary special care nurseries is unknown.
Methods: We performed a multicenter, randomized, noninferiority trial involving newborn infants (<24 hours of age; gestational age, ≥31 weeks) in special care nurseries in Australia.
Aim: There are minimal data to guide the continuing medical education (CME) of general paediatricians working in non-tertiary hospitals. The aim of this study was to determine the procedural and resuscitation skills required by non-tertiary paediatricians and the frequency with which these skills are utilised.
Methods: Over a 12-month period (December 2012 to December 2013), each of the 11 paediatricians involved in acute inpatient care at University Hospital Geelong (UHG) completed a weekly online survey regarding their inpatient clinical experience.
Aim: Data regarding temporal trends in per capita paediatric hospital presentations and admissions are required to inform health system and workforce planning.
Methods: Emergency Department (ED) presentations and admissions to the University Hospital Geelong among patients aged 0 to 16 years over a 12-month period (2012-2013) were determined by review of hospital records and then compared with similar data collected during 1996/1997. During each period, the Geelong region was serviced by a single ED, enabling us to estimate per capita presentation and admission rates.
