Introduction: Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome is a rare immune disorder due to mutations in seven different genes that encode proteins called TREX1, ribonuclease H2 complex, SAMHD1, ADAR and IDIH1 (MDA5), which are involved in acid nucleic metabolism. Two cases are described in detail below caused by RNASEH2B gene mutation, one of which displays a mutation no described to date.
Case Reports: Case 1: male consulting because from 5-month-old shows loss of maturity items acquired until then, coming with several fever episodes.
Objective: Extracorporal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an alternative to cases of respiratory or cardiopulmonary insufficiency when conventional therapy has failed. We present the first 22 patients treated with ECMO at the neonatology unit of the "Gregorio Marañon" Hospital.
Patients And Methods: From October 1997 until September 1999, 22 patients were treated with ECMO.
Objective: The purpose of our study was to determine the incidence, pathological features, clinical relevance and treatment of diaphragmatic paralysis (DP) after pediatric cardiac surgery.
Patients And Methods: Five hundred fifty-six children who had undergone cardiac surgery between 1990 and 1994 were retrospectively analyzed. Persistent raising of one or both hemidiaphragms on chest x-ray films lead to the diagnosis in all cases.
