Introduction: children's Hospital Vail d'Hebron in 2007 children admitted 7086, requiring isolation 440 (6.2%). The purpose of this study was to raise the overall level of adherence to the basic precautions of isolation. The nursing management by objectives allowed us to raise as a management strategy in pediatric inpatient units, improved compliance with isolation measures, multidisciplinary goal framed the need for pediatric patient safety

Objectives: to achieve compliance with the protocol of isolation described in 80-90% of patients.

Methodology: it provides all pediatric units a dossier of consultation on the types of insulation and measures to follow, informative posters in the areas of work and training sessions. It develops and implements a standardized checklist for the proper performance of isolation measures in two of the six child health.

Result: working in an MBO has focus and unify the resources for the improvement in the performance of isolates. In the units where they have implemented the checklist has found a fulfillment of isolation measures in 96% of cases.

Conclusions: this experience has allowed us to confirm that the strategies carried out by monitoring compliance contribute to a more effective isolation measures hospital and export the model of implementation of the checklist to other pediatric units.

The imbalance between Tregs and proinflammatory Th17 cells in children with biliary atresia (BA) causes immune damage to cholangiocytes. Dimethyl fumarate (DMF), an immunomodulatory drug, regulates the Treg/Th17 balance in diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS). This study explores DMF's effect on Treg/Th17 balance in BA and its potential mechanism.

Purpose: To improve the current method for MRI turbulence quantification which is the intravoxel phase dispersion (IVPD) method. Turbulence is commonly characterized by the Reynolds stress tensor (RST) which describes the velocity covariance matrix. A major source for systematic errors in MRI is the sequence's sensitivity to the variance of the derivatives of velocity, such as the acceleration variance, which can lead to a substantial measurement bias.
