Introduction: The vertical talus is a rare congenital deformity of the foot. It is an isolated idiopathic deformity in about half of all cases. In the others, it is associated with abnormalities such as arthrogryposis, myelodysplasia, DDH.
Material And Methods: The surgical correction may be carried out at 10 to 12 months of age by literature, but our cohort of patients involved older children too. We use one stage procedure sec Crawford with some additional procedures such as opening dorsal osteotomy, subtalar Grice procedure and muscle transfers.
Results And Conclusion: Our procedures show excellent and good results (89.5% resp. 88.8%) in the treatment of this congenital deformity of the foot. We recommend this one stage procedure in the treatment of older patients too.

Perinatal dysfunction of innate immunity in cystic fibrosis.

In patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), repeated cycles of infection and inflammation eventually lead to fatal lung damage. Although diminished mucus clearance can be restored by highly effective CFTR modulator therapy, inflammation and infection often persist. To elucidate the role of the innate immune system in CF etiology, we investigated a CF pig model and compared these results with those for preschool children with CF.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze if the healthcare organization of perinatal care and availability of referral neonatal intensive care units (NICU) impacted congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) neonatal mortality in the period 2004-2020. This study analyzed the spatial distribution of neonatal deaths of live births with CDH in São Paulo State, Brazil, and its association with NICU beds' availability.
Methods: Population-based study of all live births in São Paulo State from mothers residing in the same State, from 2004 to 2020.
Home-Based Intervention Tool for Cardiac Telerehabilitation: Protocol for a Controlled Trial.

Background: Among cardiovascular diseases, adult patients with congenital heart disease represent a population that has been continuously increasing, which is mainly due to improvement of the pathophysiological framing, including the development of surgical and reanimation techniques. However, approximately 20% of these patients will require surgery in adulthood and 40% of these cases will necessitate reintervention for residual defects or sequelae of childhood surgery. In this field, cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in the postsurgical phase has an important impact on the patient by improving psychophysical and clinical recovery in reducing fatigue and dyspnea to ultimately increase survival.

Purpose: To determine the prevalence of scoliosis in patients who have undergone surgical repair of CDH and attempt to assess the aetiology of scoliosis in affected cases.
Methods: A prospectively collected database of patients with CDH treated in a single centre between 1997 and 2023 was reviewed. Cases with adequate records who continued to reside locally having survived beyond age 2 and > 2 years following CDH repair were included.

Patients with secundum atrial septal defects preferentially undergo device closure; however, this procedure is not always feasible. Instead, patients can safely undergo surgical closure. At a time when minimally invasive surgery can now be utilized with improved cosmetic results and the same excellent outcomes as a conventional sternotomy for an atrial septal defect closure, we propose the partial lower ministernotomy as the new standard for surgical atrial septal defect closure.
