Filter by:The dilation of perivascular spaces can be the result of various etiopathogenetic processes. White matter atrophy can cause enlargement of these perivascular spaces (PVS) but also obstruction of fluid drainage systems (interstitial fluid, ISF) and metabolites, as evidenced by some recent studies. Focal stagnation of liquids and deposition of toxic material induce tissue hypoxia and neuroglial dysfunction. Dilation of PVS can be associated with changes in white matter and microhemorrhages. We want to study these etiopathogenetic phenomena by implementing specific MRI methods.
The aim of this study is to investigate attitudes on decisions to withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatments in critically ill children in Swedish intensive care units. This is a survey among pediatric critical care physicians.
Urinary incontinence is defined by the International Children's Continence Society as involuntary urinary leakage that can be continuous or intermittent in children aged five and over. Urinary incontinence is divided into subgroups of daytime incontinence, nocturnal enuresis and combined daytime incontinence and nocturnal enuresis. Different pelvic floor rehabilitation programs appear to be effective in children with daytime incontinence and nocturnal enuresis but mostly focus on the pelvic floor muscle training component. However, pelvic floor rehabilitation includes many components such as education, lifestyle changes, manual techniques, pelvic floor muscle training, functional exercises, biofeedback therapy, electrical stimulation and home program. However, there is no study examining the effectiveness of a multimodal pelvic floor rehabilitation program in the treatment of children with urinary incontinence. It is also unclear for which urinary incontinence type the multimodal pelvic floor rehabilitation program will be more effective. Therefore, investigators aim to compare the effects of a multimodal pelvic floor rehabilitation program on lower urinary tract symptoms, pelvic floor muscles and other related muscle functions in children with different urinary incontinence types. Children between the ages of 5 and 18 who were diagnosed with urinary incontinence by applying to Ege University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pediatric Urology will be included in the study. Participants will be divided into three groups: daytime incontinence, nocturnal enuresis, and combined daytime incontinence and nocturnal enuresis. A multimodal pelvic floor rehabilitation program will be performed on all children for 10 weeks, two days a week and approximately 45 minutes. A multimodal pelvic floor rehabilitation program will include education, bladder and bowel training, manual techniques, exercise training (diaphragmatic breathing exercise, pelvic floor muscle training, trunk stabilization exercises based on developmental kinesiology) and a home program. Children's lower urinary symptoms will be assessed with the Dysfunctional Voiding and Incontinence Scoring System, Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction Questionnaire, Childhood Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction Questionnaire, bladder and bowel diary, and the functions of the pelvic floor muscles and other related muscles will be assessed with superficial electromyography and ultrasonography.
The most commonly used anesthetic for general anesthesia in pediatric patients is sevoflurane, an inhalation anesthetic. However, the incidence of emergence agitation after sevoflurane anesthesia in pediatric patients is high, with reports of up to 67%. Remimazolam (Byfavo Inj., Hana Pharm Col, Ltd., Seoul, Korea) has a short context-sensitive half-life of 7.5 minutes, and the time it takes from the end of anesthesia until the patient wakes up is predictable. According to a study by Yang X et al., administering a small amount of remimazolam (0.2 mg/kg) intravenously at the end of general anesthesia using sevoflurane reduced the incidence of emergence agitation. However, very few studies have evaluated the use of remimazolam in general anesthesia in pediatric patients.
The purpose of this research study is to test a new device called the PUMA-G Pediatric System. The research will measure if the device works well to safely aid doctors placing gastrostomy feeding tubes in children. The PUMA-G Pediatric System is an investigational device that uses ultrasound and magnets to guide insertion of a feeding tube.
This study is designed to evaluate if pediatric patients who are undergoing a bowel preparation in anticipation of a colonoscopy may be able to take in a low fiber diet instead of a standard, clear liquid diet, while still accomplishing an adequate bowel prep.
This study will be a pilot test of using telehealth with an interpreter as an additional option for parents with limited English proficiency to join family-centered rounds in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Infantile umbilical hernia is common in children. It has a regressive course in most cases. Conservative management is the standard in most cases before the age of 3 years unless there are complications such as incarceration, rupture with evisceration which are extremely rare and warrants emergency surgery. We present a rare case of a 6-month-old child with sudden spontaneous evisceration of infantile umbilical hernia.
In this study, musculoskeletal-related pain, posture, spine function, the condition of the low back and neck regions, musculoskeletal system disorders, fatigue, and quality of life will be examined in caregivers of rehabilitation patients.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of virtual family-centered rounds in the neonatal intensive care unit on parental and neonatal outcomes.
