Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness of open anterior subscapularis release surgery in children over 12 months with unresolved neonatal brachial plexus palsy, focusing on improving shoulder contracture.
- Results showed a significant improvement in shoulder function scores and movements such as abduction and lateral rotation, with notable enhancements in activities like bringing hands to the mouth and head.
- The findings indicate that children with more severe injuries experience greater functional recovery after surgery, although there was no significant change in medial rotation of the shoulder.
Article Synopsis
- Motorcycle accidents involving wheel spokes have become a significant cause of ankle and foot injuries in children under 16 years old in developing countries, particularly during afternoon rides as pillion passengers.
- The study analyzed 30 cases over 11 years, revealing a notable increase in injuries after 2015, with a majority suffering severe injuries such as tendon ruptures and bone fractures.
- Key findings indicate that larger wound sizes and loss of soft tissue are linked to the severity of injuries, highlighting the need for better prevention strategies for child passengers.
Introduction: Respiratory diseases are a common cause of pediatric hospitalization. This study aimed to evaluate the epidemiological profile of respiratory diseases among children at the Rabat Children's Hospital, Morocco.
Methods: We conducted an observational-cross sectional study of all children aged 3 months to 15 years hospitalized for respiratory disease at the Department of Pneumoallergology and Pediatric Infectious Diseases at the Rabat Children's Hospital, Morocco over a one-year period, from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2014.
Introduction: Perinatal mortality rates have come down in cesarean sections, but fetal morbidity is still high in comparison to vaginal delivery and the complications are more commonly seen in emergency than in elective cesarean sections. The objective of the study was to compare the fetal outcome and the indications in elective versus emergency cesarean section performed in a tertiary maternity hospital.
Methods: This comparative cross-sectional prospective study of all the cases undergoing elective and emergency cesarean section for any indication at Souissi maternity hospital of Rabat, Morocco, was carried from January 1, to February 28, 2014.
Introduction: Twin pregnancies are associated with a higher rate of perinatal morbidity and mortality than singleton pregnancies. The aim of the present study was to evaluate perinatal morbidity and mortality in twin pregnancies in a Moroccan level-3 maternity ward.
Methods: This is a comparative cross-sectional study of perinatal morbidity and mortality rates in newborn infants in twin pregnancies versus singleton pregnancies among women who gave birth at Souissi Maternity Hospital in Rabat from January 1 to February 28, 2014.
