: The angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) enalapril is often administered to infants and young children with heart failure (HF) in various dosing regimens and formulations not adapted for their age. : This prospective, two-center, open-label 8-week study evaluated an age-appropriate formulation of orodispersible minitablets (ODMTs) of enalapril (0.25 mg and 1 mg) in children aged 0 to 6 years with HF due to congenital heart disease.

Methods: We retrospectively studied patients with congenital aortic valve stenosis who underwent balloon valvuloplasty during 2004-2018.
Background: It is unclear whether the heart is affected in pediatric patients with milder forms of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Therefore, we aimed to determine the presence of any cardiac abnormalities in these patients.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of children and adolescents with SMA types 2 and 3 between July 2018 and July 2019.
Article Synopsis
- Ileostomy is a surgical procedure often performed on children that can lead to chronic dehydration and undernutrition due to fluid loss.
- This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of oral rehydration solutions (ORS) in replenishing water and electrolytes in infants with ileostomy.
- Results showed that using ORS with a specific sodium concentration successfully maintained water and electrolyte balance, ultimately improving the nutritional status of the infants involved.
