Meropenem (in combination with amikacin) was used in the treatment of children and adolescents with mucoviscidosis and severe exacerbation of bronchopulmonary affections. The drug showed satisfactory clinical and moderate bacteriological effects (48.3%) as dependent on the severity and duration of the disease and the microbial flora. Meropenem was well tolerated: no side effects were observed during the treatment, whereas it was used in high doses (60-105 mg/kg daily).

Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common chronic lung disease in premature infants with limited treatments and poor prognosis. Damaged endothelial glycocalyx leads to vascular permeability, lung edema and inflammation. However, whether hyperoxia increases neonatal pulmonary microvascular permeability by degrading the endothelial glycocalyx remains unknown.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate intrathoracic abnormalities in children with oesophageal atresia using computed tomography (CT).
  • Researchers reviewed CT scans of 48 out of 234 patients, discovering several unexpected thoracic malformations and confirming known issues.
  • The findings suggest that these intrathoracic anomalies are common in patients with oesophageal atresia, highlighting the importance of using contrast-enhanced chest CT for those with ongoing respiratory issues.
