A systematic review of the topic was carried out through research articles published in peer-reviewed journals from January 1998 to June 2017 and indexed in seven international databases (Cochrane Library, EBSCO, PubMed, Science Direct, Springer, Web of Science and Scielo). The articles were selected based on predefined criteria, using limiters and manual screening. Twenty articles published between 1999 and 2017 were selected. The screening of adverse childhood experiences is performed through opportunistic recruitment in a professional context aimed at caregivers and children, which integrates training actions, application of screening tools, and reception of identified cases. Screening tools differ between interviews and questionnaires. In addition, we report the periodicity of the screening, the behaviors, and beliefs of the professionals against it and the barriers to its implementation. This review confirms that the screening of adverse childhood experiences is an emerging topic in the research field. We emphasize the need to systematize and evaluate the strategies and tools for screening adverse childhood experiences, as well as to develop local approaches to respond to the needs of children exposed to adversity.","PeriodicalId":100195,"journal":{"name":"Boletín Médico Del Hospital Infantil de México (English Edition)","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84667283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To know the situations that origi-nate them and their consequences are key issues to consider in order to design strategies to improve the quality of health-services. This study analyzes the cases submitted to the National Medical Arbitration Commission with a final arbitration decision during the period 2011-2015, related to health service users younger than 15 years old. Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study. We analyzed information extracted from the reports with a final arbitration decision in the past 5 years, selecting those where the affected users were younger than 15 years old. Results : A total of 40 case arbitral awards were found, most of them involving pediatric services with a similar number of male and female users and a similar proportion in the extreme age groups, <1 year (32%) and 10-14 years (30%). The main cause of the complaint was related to diagnostic procedures (45%). An average of 8.7 adverse events per case was identified, most of them associated with procedures. Among the damages, there were 12 deaths and 9 permanent disabilities. There was evidence of malpractice in 65% of the cases and the sentence was condemnatory in 60% of the cases.

Some of them have a common origin, which allows the identification of combined lesions. Its diagnosis can be made prenatally by ultrasound, with the limitation that this study is performed in specialized centers and depends on the expertise of the operator. The association of pulmonary sequestration and congenital malformation of the airway has been described in approximately 40-60 cases since its first description in 1949. Many lesions are not perceptible in intrauterine life, and in the neonatal period, there are recurrent respiratory symptoms that in some cases are associated with a congenital pulmonary malformation. case report: We report the case of a young infant, who was diagnosed with pulmonary sequestration at 24 weeks of gestational age, undergoing intrauterine surgical treatment with a report of complete resolution of the malformation in posterior ultrasounds. She was valued by pediatric pneumology at four months of age, where angiotomography was performed, and the presence of pulmonary sequestration was confirmed by lobectomy. The histopathological study reported extralobar pulmonary sequestration with congenital malformation of the pulmonary airway type 2. The histopathological study identified these combined lesions. The treatment of choice was surgical. conclusions: Upon the confirmation of a malformation, we emphasize the importance of performing screening to search for other that could be associated.","PeriodicalId":100195,"journal":{"name":"Boletín Médico Del Hospital Infantil de México (English Edition)","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76092397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many groups have tried to create tools that facilitate its early identification, as the shock index (SI), defined as the ratio between cardiac frequency and systolic blood pressure. The objective of this study was to determine the utility of SI to predict mortality in pediatric patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. Methods: A retrospective cohort study with 165 pediatric patients with severe sepsis or septic shock in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. SI was calculated at diagnosis and at 2, 4, and 6 h after (SI2, SI4, and SI6). We divided the population into two groups depending on their outcome: survivors and non-survivors. The statistical analysis was performed with Mann–Whitney U-test and Chi-squared tests. The risk factors were compared between the survivors and the dead, and we calculated the odds ratio (OR). Results: The median value of SI was compared between groups; in the group of septic shock, SI showed a tendency to remain high in SI4 and SI6 (p = 0.010 and p = 0.005, respectively). Among the survivors and the non-survivors, we found that in the latter, SI was progressively increased in SI4 and SI6 (p < 0.05). High values of SI4 and SI6 increased the risk of death in patients (SI4: OR = 442.1 confidence interval [CI] 95% 54.2-3601.7, p < 0.001 and SI6: OR = 81951.3 CI 95% 427.1-15700000, p < 0.001). conclusions: High values of SI are associated with increased mortality. The IS6 value is the most useful to predict mortality.","PeriodicalId":100195,"journal":{"name":"Boletín Médico Del Hospital Infantil de México (English Edition)","volume":"316 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91314185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evaluation, among other definitions, means to “collect and systematically analyze information to determine the value or merit of what is done”. To evaluate all human activity is inherent to the very nature of man. Governments, health, education, arts, institutions, organizations, companies are evaluated, and of course, the scientific activity of researchers, their projects, their papers, their “productivity” and even the journals where they publish their results. Why? What? How? On November 7, 2017, an email to the Boletín Médico del Hospital Infantil de México (BMHIM) arrived, with an attached letter from the Associate Director of Operations of the National Library of Medicine of the United States with the subject BMHIM, in which the first paragraph said: “The National Library of Medicine (NLM) uses an NIH-chartered advisory committee, the Literature Selection Technical Review Committee (LSTRC), to recommend journals to be indexed for MEDLINE®. At the recent LSTRC meeting, the committee recommended your journal for MEDLINE®. MEDLINE® citations are indexed with NLM Medical Subject Headings (MeSH®) and other metadata, and are searchable as a subset of PubMed®.” First, joy. Great joy! The gap opened in December 1993, the last time that BMHIM appeared in MEDLINE, was finally closed. Next, great news to the authorities of our institute, and to the personnel of the Medical Editions Department ...Immediately after, acknowledgement; later, reflection... Acknowledgements to the authors who, since July 2014, and before, have sent their research to our journal. To the reviewers, who made possible one the main pillars of academic journals with their voluntary and professional work: the evaluation of the scientific content by external colleagues and peers of the field in question. To the members of the board and editorial committee that have collaborated with the BMHIM. To the authorities of the Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez, who have unconditionally supported the development of BMHIM. To the translators. To the editors. To the publishers that have believed in our work. Reflections ...It is worth mentioning the following: what did the LSTRC evaluate from our journal? Strict compliance with the periodicity of the publication of the Spanish electronic version (ISSN 1665-1146), also available in English; the quality of the content of the articles including authors and institutions; the quality of the external peer review. Furthermore, that all ethical policies were met: declaration of conflicts of interest, animal and human rights, and informed consent when appropriate.","PeriodicalId":100195,"journal":{"name":"Boletín Médico Del Hospital Infantil de México (English Edition)","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79850224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
