[Cholelithiasis in children].

Khirurgiia (Mosk)

Published: November 1996

The article contains the data about the examination and surgical treatment of 21 children with cholelithiasis, most of them girls (6:1). There were 7 children at the age between 4 and 10 and 14 children at the age between 11 and 14 years. 15 patients had accompanying diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Cholelithiasis in children generally may be caused by abnormalities of biliary tract formation. The ultrasonography is the most informative method of the diagnosis of the biliary tract diseases. This method enables early surgery and preventing involvement of other organs into pathological process to aroid complications. 18 patients had cholecystectomy and 3 patients had the additional lithotomy with papillosphincteroplasty. The remote results within 1 to 4 years were very good in 19 patients. Two patients were reoperated because of major duodenal papilla stenosis and cholelithiasis relapse.

Background: In a world confronted with new and connected challenges, novel strategies are needed to help children and adults achieve their full potential, to predict, prevent and treat disease, and to achieve equity in services and outcomes. Australia's Generation Victoria (GenV) cohorts are designed for multi-pronged discovery (what could improve outcomes?) and intervention research (what actually works, how much and for whom?). Here, we describe the key features of its protocol.

Background: Awareness of the characteristics of glial fibrillary acidic protein autoantibody (GFAP-IgG) associated myelitis facilitates early diagnosis and treatment. We explored features in GFAP-IgG myelitis and compared them with those in myelitis associated with aquaporin-4 IgG (AQP4-IgG) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein IgG (MOG-IgG).

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data from patients with GFAP-IgG myelitis at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and Henan Children's Hospital from May 2018 to May 2023.

A consistent and debilitating phenotype of FXS is auditory hypersensitivity that may lead to delayed language and high anxiety. Consistent with findings in FXS human studies, the mouse model of FXS, the Fmr1 knock out (KO) mouse, shows auditory hypersensitivity and temporal processing deficits.
