Epilepsy is associated with ventricular alterations following convulsive status epilepticus in children.

Objective: Convulsive status epilepticus can exert profound cardiovascular effects in adults including ventricular depolarization-repolarization abnormalities. Whether status epilepticus adversely affects ventricular electrical properties in children is less understood. Therefore, we sought to characterize ventricular alterations and the associated clinical factors in children following convulsive status epilepticus.

Linear growth and circulating insulin-like growth factor I in children with tufting enteropathy receiving long-term TPN.

We analyzed the growth of 12 children with tufting enteropathy for 2 years receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). At diagnosis, the length standard deviation score (SDS) (-2.15 ± 1.
