Article Synopsis
- Prenatally diagnosed large fetal neck masses require a comprehensive approach involving multiple specialists to evaluate treatment options and assess risks for both mother and infant.
- A case study revealed the effectiveness of using a 3D anatomical model created from fetal MRI data to better visualize the complex clinical situation of a large neck mass, aiding in family education and intervention planning.
- Ultimately, the use of 3D modeling not only improved assessment of perinatal airway needs but also enhanced the overall delivery and postnatal management process for the infant.
Comprehensive management of chronic ear disease: Consecutive patient analysis at a tertiary children's hospital.
Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol
November 2024
Objective: To characterize medical complexity and advanced interventions necessary to treat pediatric patients with chronic ear disease.
Methods: A retrospective case review of children who received surgery for chronic otitis media, cholesteatoma, or tympanic membrane perforation at a tertiary children's hospital from 2020 to 2024 was performed. The frequency and type of medical complexities as well as distribution and success of advanced otologic interventions were recorded.
Objective: To characterize incidence of mandibular anomalies (MAs) and compare gestational age, airway interventions, and complications among individuals with MA phenotypes (isolated retrognathia, isolated micrognathia, syndromic micrognathia, micrognathia plus cleft palate/cleft lip and palate, agnathia/micrognathia plus cervical auricle/otocephaly, and agnathia/micrognathia plus microstomia) and unaffected individuals.
Methods: The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Kids' Inpatient Database was used to collect data over a 20-year period beginning in 2000. Interventions were classified as perinatal when performed on day of life (DOL) 0 or 1 and subsequent when performed during the birth hospitalization after DOL 1.
Background: Although enteropathy due to angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) has been known for over 10 years, clinicians' awareness of this condition is still low.
Aims: To systematically review the literature about clinical phenotypes, distribution of mucosal changes throughout the gastrointestinal tract and prognosis of enteropathy due to ARBs.
Methods: According to PRISMA guidelines, we searched PubMed and Embase for relevant articles up to November 6, 2023.
Introduction: Fetal goiter is a rare congenital disorder that can present with life-threatening neonatal airway obstruction. Lifesaving and function-preserving airway management strategies are available, but routine delivery affords a limited window for intervention. Accordingly, fetal goiter is reported among the most common indications for ex-utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT).
