Article Synopsis
- The study assessed long-term impacts on cardiorespiratory performance, motor skills, and quality of life in patients with abdominal wall defects (AWD) compared to a matched control group.
- Results revealed that while AWD patients had comparable cardiopulmonary function to controls, they exhibited significantly lower quality of life scores and diminished motor abilities.
- The findings highlight a need for further investigation into the clinical implications of decreased motor function and quality of life among AWD patients despite similar physical fitness levels.
Article Synopsis
- Vascular anomalies (VAs) are rare conditions that significantly affect patients, requiring timely diagnosis through awareness among primary caregivers and access to specialists.
- A survey was conducted with primary care pediatricians in Austria, receiving responses from 93 out of 373 invited, highlighting their limited experience and treatment capability regarding VAs, especially vascular malformations.
- The overwhelming majority of pediatricians agreed on the necessity of creating a specialist network and registry to improve the management and understanding of pediatric VAs.
Unlabelled: To elaborate expert consensus patient pathways to guide patients and physicians toward efficient diagnostics and management of patients with venous malformations.
Methods: VASCERN-VASCA (https://vascern.eu/) is a European network of multidisciplinary centers for Vascular Anomalies.
Objectives: Subcutaneous granuloma annulare (SGA) is a rare, self-limiting granulomatous disease in children, commonly diagnosed by histopathology following biopsy or surgical excision. This study aimed to identify imaging clues for SGA that could expedite accurate diagnosis and avoid the need for biopsy in children.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed complete hospital records of all children diagnosed with SGA at our institution from January 2001 to December 2020.
Hand fractures represent commonly encountered injuries in pediatric patients. However, due to modern means of mobility and product safety, the occurrence and distribution of these fractures have changed during the last decades. Therefore, it was the aim of this study to present an update of the epidemiology, pattern, and treatment of hand fractures in a large pediatric cohort.
