Infants with a history of mechanical ventilation might show difficulty in coordinating pharyngeal muscles resulting in dysphagia. Objectives: The present study aimed to show the prevalence of swallowing disorders and associated symptoms among high-risk infants with a history of prolonged mechanical ventilation. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted at the Breastfeeding Research Center, Tehran, Iran. All the neonates with a history of prolonged mechanical ventilation entered the study. Parents were asked to respond to a provided questionnaire regarding their infants’ swallowing disorders. Accordingly, the infants with any symptoms were considered candidates for intervention. The parents also received simple training to perform oral sensorimotor stimulation protocol for their children. Through a follow-up visit, the questionnaire was filled up for every infant. Finally, all the data related to the responses before and after interventions were compared to show the possible effects of the interventions. Results: A total of 25 infants entered the study. The mean mechanical ventilation period was 15.95 ± 6.644 days. Concerning the frequency of swallowing complications, 24 infants (96%) had different degrees of dysphagia. After 3 - 6 months of interventions, the number of cases with symptoms of coughing (P = 0.016), spitting food out by mouth (P = 0.0001), choking (P = 0.016), humid breath (P = 0.031), poor weight gain (P = 0.002), and the need to cut food into small pieces (P = 0.004) was significantly lower than the number of cases suffering from such complications before the intervention. The results also showed that after 3 - 6 months of interventions, dysphagia symptoms in 10 out of 24 infants (41.66%) entirely and in others (38.44%) partially improved. Conclusions: The results of the present study delineated that infants with a history of prolonged mechanical ventilation were at greater risk of swallowing complications. The early diagnosis and implementation of oral sensorimotor interventions could improve different symptoms of dysphagia.","PeriodicalId":14593,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Pediatrics","volume":"119 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77942913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the efficacy of this method for treating empyema remains a topic of debate among experts, several studies have shown that the results of this technique are almost equivalent to surgical operations in the lower stages of the disease. However, in more advanced stages of empyema, surgery may be required. Despite the worldwide use of fibrinolytic agents instead of surgical procedures, the benefits of using these agents postoperatively still need to be defined. Objectives: In this prospective study, we aimed to compare the effects of streptokinase and alteplase in managing empyema in patients who underwent any surgical operations. Methods: We prospectively compared the outcomes of using alteplase and streptokinase in children who underwent surgical operations for empyema between 2015 and 2022. Following the surgery, fibrinolytic agents were instilled through thoracostomy tubes according to a specific protocol. The length of stay, frequency of complications, need for another surgery, and mortality were measured in each group. Results: Among 53 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 31 (58.5%) patients received streptokinase postoperatively, while the others were treated using alteplase. The length of stay after the surgery, wound infection, and mortality rate did not differ significantly between the groups (P-value = 0.394, 0.080, 0.767, respectively). However, the need for another surgery due to unexpanded lungs was significantly lower in the alteplase group (0% vs. 19.4%, P = 0.028). Conclusions: Alteplase as an intrapleural fibrinolytic is more effective than streptokinase in patients who underwent surgical operations due to empyema. The need for another surgery following the instillation of alteplase through chest tubes postoperatively may be decreased.","PeriodicalId":14593,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Pediatrics","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77220883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives: In this study, we compared the effects of in-person and virtual electroencephalography (EEG) training on the knowledge of pediatric and adult neurology residents. Methods: The study participants consisted of 30 pediatric and adult neurology residents who were recruited nationwide via a virtual network. They were randomly divided into two groups for in-person and virtual education, respectively. Prior to the first workshop session, participants completed a pre-test comprising 19 knowledge-related questions. Two interactive training sessions focusing on benign variants in EEG were conducted, including two in-person workshops for eight residents and two online workshops for 22 residents. Each session lasted one hour, with one held every two weeks. After the second session, participants were asked to complete a post-test consisting of 24 questions (identical to the pre-test) and five workshop satisfaction-related questions. Results: Overall, the mean exam score after both the in-person and virtual workshops was significantly higher than the pretest score across all educational levels. The mean score differences in knowledge between the in-person and virtual groups after the workshop were similar, with no statistically significant difference. Approximately 90% of the participants believed that the workshop would be beneficial for their daily practice. Conclusions: Given the absence of a significant difference between in-person and virtual training methods in improving participants' knowledge and satisfaction with both approaches, we recommend integrating virtual EEG training into the educational protocol for pediatric and adult neurology residents. Nonetheless, larger sample size studies are required to further validate these findings.","PeriodicalId":14593,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Pediatrics","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81510788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study compared Jujube paste and polyethylene glycol (PEG) as laxative drugs in children with FC. Ziziphus Jujuba Mill (Jujube) was selected according to traditional Iranian medicine because it is native to Iran and a large extent of Asia, is safe and easy to access, with acceptable taste to children. Methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial was performed on 128 children aged 2 to 12 with FC according to Rome IV criteria. Patients were randomly divided into two groups of Jujube paste and PEG and underwent four weeks of treatment. The efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the Jujube oral product were compared with PEG. Results: Following four weeks of therapy, all clinical symptoms of constipation according to Rome IV criteria were improved significantly in both groups (P < 0.05). In all the seven criteria of Rome IV, Jujube paste was as effective as PEG and even stronger in reducing stool stiffness (P < 0.0001). No hazardous side effect was reported in the two groups. Moreover, the medication acceptance rate was higher in the group receiving Jujube paste than in the group receiving PEG. Conclusions: Jujube paste is as effective as PEG in pediatric FC. This product has high nutritional value and antioxidant properties, so it can be a safe substitute for PEG in pediatric FC.","PeriodicalId":14593,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Pediatrics","volume":"137 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80519286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives: This study aimed to determine how to prioritize pediatric fever patients to limit the time they had to wait for a consultation and, therefore, the potential of worsening and crises under the burden of COVID-19. Methods: The triage and emergency care process of children in the Fever Clinic of Children’s Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Zhejiang, China, within 2019 - 2020 included flow charts, guidance signs, publicity materials, noon and night articulation, and emergency calls. To enhance the management of pre-consultation and triage, the incidence of adverse event injuries was tallied, and satisfaction surveys were conducted. The prevalence of infectious diseases was characterized by demographic and seasonal factors, and the chi-square test was employed to test for differences between groups. Results: From January 2019 to December 2020, four peak periods were observed in each year, namely February, July, September, and December in 2019 and March, June, September, and December in 2020. The peak of common respiratory virus infection was seasonal; however, a significant increase (χ2 = 52.17; P < 0.001) in the case of patients who needed emergency care was observed secondary to fever. The patients within the age range of 1 - 3 years were more in need of emergency care than any other age group (54.70%; 99/181). The most common disease requiring emergency care was febrile convulsions (55.2%). No infectious diseases were missed or underreported during the study period, and no medical personnel was infected.

Independent studies have revealed a strong upregulation of leptin expression in the mesenteric fat of CD patients. Objectives: This study assessed the relationship between leptin gene polymorphisms and CD susceptibility in a Chinese pediatric population. Methods: A total of 86 patients with CD and 142 healthy controls were recruited for this case-control study. The genotypes of 4 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs2071045, rs41457646, rs11761556, and rs2167270) in the leptin gene were determined by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with next-generation sequencing. Results: We found that leptin rs2167270 had a significantly different distribution of alleles and genotypes between CD patients and healthy controls (G is a risk allele: 83.7% of cases vs 72.5% of controls; odds ratio [OR] 1.947; 95% CI, 1.203-3.151; P = 0.006; GG is a risk genotype: 72.1% of cases vs 53.5% of controls; P = 0.021). Patients with the CC genotype (rs2071045) had a significantly increased risk of early onset of CD (58.3% in A1a vs 31.1% in A1b; P = 0.003). Similarly, patients carrying the G allele (100% in A1a vs 84.1% in A1b; P = 0.015) and GG genotype (100% in A1a vs 71.0% in A1b; P = 0.048) of rs41457646, A allele (93.3% in A1a vs 71.8% in A1b; P = 0.013) and AA genotype (93.3% in A1a vs 47.9% in A1b; P = 0.003) in rs11761556 had a higher risk of early onset of CD. However, there was no significant difference in any of these 4 SNPs between patients with and without perianal lesions, as well as in low and normal body mass index (BMI) patients.

The enzymatic impairments can result in the accumulation of atypical and hepatotoxic bile acid intermediates, which clinically lead to cholestasis and progress to cirrhosis and hepatic failure. Herein, we describe a case of bile acid synthesis disorder diagnosed using molecular genetic assessment. Case Presentation: A 7-year-old girl is presented with failure to thrive since early in life. She had a history of urinary tract infection at four years of age. The sonography was performed at that time and revealed renal microcalculi. She also had a history of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. She underwent upper endoscopies three times to rule out celiac disease; nevertheless, duodenal biopsies were all reported as normal. Muscle weakness was detected at five years of age and electromyography and muscle biopsy findings were non-specific. She underwent a whole-genome study and was diagnosed with bile acid synthesis disorder (BASD). After six months, she was treated with ursodeoxycholic acid, 250 mg, which led to growth compensation and liver enzyme reduction. No adverse effect was reported during the treatment. Conclusions: Bile acid synthesis disorder is a rare disorder with non-specific features and several organ involvements. It may take several years to achieve the correct diagnosis.

Migration of the shunt to the scrotum is rare. Its clinical presentation may be silent if the shunt keeps patent. We describe such a case following the implantation of a V-P shunt with scrotal migration, with the tip still kept in the peritoneal cavity with patent function. We will discuss this rare complication and review the literature. Case Presentation: A 28-week-old boy presented preterm-related spontaneous intraventricular hemorrhage and hydrocephalus. The patient underwent surgery via V-P shunt implantation. One month after the operation, V-P shunt migration with the right hydrocele was diagnosed while the tip was still in the peritoneal cavity with a patent function. We adopted a watch-and-wait approach in which outpatient follow-up would be continued until the patient was 1.5 years old, when we would decide whether to perform hydrocele repair and correct the drainage tube malposition or continue follow-up. The patient was alert with good activity and close follow-up. Conclusions: Ventriculoperitoneal shunt migration with hydrocele in young children is a rare complication after the surgery. Regular follow-up up to 1.5 years old is recommended for patients with the tip in the peritoneal cavity and patent shunt function. Surgical intervention is suggested for cases with tip in the scrotum, shunt kinking, remarkable hydrocele, or hydrocephalus progression. Although V-P shunt migration is uncommon, we should take care of it to find out and solve the problem.","PeriodicalId":14593,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Pediatrics","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82474824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
