Feasibility and results of an intraarterial chemotherapy program for the conservative treatment of retinoblastoma in Argentina.

Background: The feasibility and results of intraarterial chemotherapy, also termed ophthalmic artery chemosurgery (OAC), for retinoblastoma in less developed countries have seldom been reported.

Procedure: A retrospective evaluation of a program of OAC in Argentina from 2010 to 2015.

Results: Ninety-seven eyes from 81 patients (61 bilateral) were analyzed.

[A comparison of two systems for hydration of children with diabetic ketoacidosis. a randomized controlled trial].

Background: Treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) requires hourly controls of blood glucose, which define changes in the intravenous glucose and insulin administration. Every change requires preparing a new solution, wasting time and allowing errors. The two bag system (same electrolytes composition, but one with and the other without glucose) allows immediate changes in glucose administration rate, just by changing the solutions drip.
