Filter by:Breaking bad news, especially a death notice, is an essential part of the medical profes-sional communication. Being inadequately trained in those skills this may result in un-pleasant psychosocial consequences for everyone involved. This prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial evaluated the delivery of a death notice to simulation parents out of the perspective of these parents (professional actors), the participants (students) and by video analysis. The simulation patient has prior unexpectedly died during a simulated resuscitation. The intervention group broke the bad news after receiving a short communication
The goal of this observational study is to conducted a comprehensive analysis of the factors contributing to redo- Pull-through surgery for constipation recurrence in Children who are suffering from Hirschsprun' s disease (HSCR) and its allied disorders (ADHD) . The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1. Our study focused on the treatment and prognosis of these conditions, drawing upon 16 years of patient data and clinical experiences" 2. What are the key risk factors affecting the prognosis of recurrent constipation patients undergoing repeat PT?
An informational video about joining a Research Notification Registry is being compared with a version of the video tailored to African/ African American parents, reminding them about the importance of their being included in clinical trials. African/African American parents and caregivers of children under 13 years of age are targeted.
Vitiligo is a auto immune that impact 2% of the global population, regardless from the phototype. Even though it affects patients in a physical way through loss of pigmentation, it is also impacting them on a mental/emotional way.11-12 Current treatments offer a symptomatic solution to patients, however the response rate can be low and results can be slow. Pediatric patients in vitiligo deserves special care as frequently (50%), the disease onset is before 20 years of age and, in 25% of the cases, it starts before the age of 10 years.13 Also, the current treatments for children are limited since it can involve pain and claustrophobia. The combination therapy of the study could offer a painless and easy treatment to follow. If the combination of those two therapies can fasten and improve the response rate, this could be a good option to treat this condition not only in children, but also for adults patients.
This prospective interventional study aimed at the preoperative sonographic estimation of the testicular volume of the normal side in case of contralateral impalpable maldescended testis in order to predict the condition of the diseased side and hence the need for diagnostic laparoscopy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test if the use of virtual reality glasses reduces the pain and anxiety that children feel when they perform a blood test. Children between 7 and 12 years old from 5 health centers and 2 hospitals will participate, and the children will be divided into two groups. In the control group, the analysis will be done in the usual way (for example, distracting with questions) and in the intervention group, the analysis will be done while the children use virtual reality. The satisfaction of parents and nursing will also be analyzed.
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), also known as "exercise capacity", is the capacity of respiratory and circulatory systems to supply oxygen to skeletal muscle during exercise for the generation of energy. Determinants of CRF include lung capacity, capillary density, cardiac output, hemoglobin concentration, and mitochondrial function. The research group studies how CRF is related to fuel utilization, yielding a mechanistic understanding of the association between lower CRF and worsening metabolic health via mitochondrial function. The objective of this study is to measure fuel utilization in response to habitual diet for one week in adolescents and young adults, ages 14-22 years (n=30). Fuel utilization will be estimated by glucose measures using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). Habitual dietary intake will be collected via a mobile phone application (BiteAI, Inc) that uses artificial intelligence to extract nutrient information from food photographs. Participants will undergo two standard of care (SOC) meal tolerance tests at home - a glucose tolerance test and a Ensure® mixed meal tolerance test. CRF will be estimated by measuring maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max) during a graded treadmill test. The hypothesis is that a higher VO2 max will be associated with increased fuel utilization, measured by lower glucose response to the SOC meal tolerance tests. The proposed study is described in the following aims: SPECIFIC AIM 1. Test for feasibility of completion of self-report dietary food records, completion of two at home meal tolerance tests that are standard of care for metabolic health screening, and completion of a seven-day continuous glucose monitor. SPECIFIC AIM 2. Identify nutrients and foods that are associated with an elevated glucose response. SPECIFIC AIM 3. Assess the influence of VO2 max on the glucose response to the SOC glucose tolerance test and Ensure® mixed meal tolerance test.
A retrospective cohort study to explore the impact of the FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar on paediatric emergency department attendance at two tertiary centres during unprecedent winter viral epidemics.
Pre-procedural fasting is routinely conducted to prevent pulmonary aspiration regarding sedation or anesthesia. However, prolonged fasting cause hypoglycemia, dehydration, nausea, and patient discomfort. Moreover, because children have small reserved energy, prolonged fasting need to be prohibited. Therefore, this study is designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of new fasting policy allowing water until 1 hour before sedation compared to the standard fasting time (4 hours of fasting including water).
Objectives: The International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) provides a specific terminology for adult ovarian masses, while, currently, there is no systematic classification for preoperative assessment of adnexal lesions in childhood and adolescence. This study aims to survey Italian pediatric surgeons to evaluate ovarian masses' management (from diagnosis to treatment) in patients aged 1-18. Methods: A 27-question survey was distributed. It consisted of questions regarding the management and use of ultrasound and IOTA terminology in diagnosing ovarian masses in childhood and adolescence, in emergency regimes and in planned surgeries.
