Unlabelled: The insulin microinfuser with integrated system (SAPT) for patients with type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1D) is included in the national financial protection system for high-cost treatments.

Objective: To describe the initial and first-year metabolic outcomes and epidemiological and nutritional characteristics of T1D pediatric patients treated with SAPT.

Patients And Method: Retrospective, descriptive and analytical study of clinical records from 2017 to 2019, of 12 patients with T1D users of SAPT, attended in a referral hospital.

Variables: age at program entry, time of evolution of the disease, type of insulin treatment and type of glucose monitoring (capillary: sample or Continuous Glucose Monitoring [CGM]) at program entry, cause of application to the program, nutritional status, rural or urban origin, educational level of the main guardian, HbA1c at application and in the last month of each quarter after SAPT installation, over a 12-month period. HbA1c analysis was venous sample by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography and follow-up was capillary sample by Latex Particle Agglutination Inhibition.

Results: The median variables at 12 months of treatment were Total Daily Dose (TDD) 0.74, %Basal (%B) 49%, Time In Range (TIR) 39%, Time Below Range (TBR) 1%, and HbA1c 7.7%. The sensor usage time was met in all cases and only half of them achieved a correct execution of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia treatment. Inadvertent severe hypoglycemia was the main cause of application to the program.

Conclusion: TDD and %B increased, approaching physiological requirement, although without statistical significance, which could be attributed to the administra tion of adequate insulin with lower risk of hypoglycemia due to predictive suspension and CGM. TIR presented a favorable increase, although not significant, nor reaching the target range, attributable to the short observation time, difficulties in understanding and execution of our patients, and the learning process of the treating clinical team. SAPT was effective in hypoglycemia management and effective in improving HbA1c.

Rhinitis is a common comorbidity in patients with asthma. However, the frequency of underreported rhinitis in asthma is not known. In this study, we aimed to assess the characteristics of patients with self-reported asthma and no self-reported rhinitis, as well as the extent of the underreporting of rhinitis.

Knee kinematics during gait in patients with discoid lateral meniscus: a systematic review.

Minerva Pediatr (Torino)

January 2025

Transalpine Center of Pediatric Sports Medicine and Surgery, University of Milano-Bicocca, Monza, Monza-Brianza, Italy.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the difference between symptomatic discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) and healthy knees in terms of gait analysis.

Evidence Acquisition: A systematic review was conducted from the electronic databases PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE and Scopus. The review was performed on studies that reported data on kinematics, gait analysis, biomechanics in discoid lateral meniscus, before and after surgery.

Introduction: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is increasingly used for obesity and metabolic disease, with safety profiles showing it is among the safest major operations. The last 20 + years have noted significantly improved safety that has been accompanied by decreasing length of stay and select populations electing for outpatient surgery, leading to continued decreases in cost. Regardless, readmissions and complications still occur, requiring inpatient postoperative care (IP-POC).

Purpose: Determine if Sacral Alar-Iliac (SAI) screw diameter is associated with pelvic fixation failure in pediatric patients with neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) treated with posterior spinal fusion (PSF).

Methods: NMS patients from a single institution who underwent PSF with bilateral SAI screw fixation from 2010 to 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical parameters, SAI screw sizes, and radiographic outcomes were analyzed.
