Other causes included supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (TAPVD) [13], isolated right subclavian artery [14], and infants on veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation using right carotid artery for cannulation [15].

At presentation, baby was dehydrated and had matted bowel protruding from left abdominal wall defect (Figure 1). After initial resuscitation, baby was taken for emergency operation. She had multiple attempts for difficult intubation. On extending defect of gastroschisis in midline, it revealed nasogastric tube was in peritoneal cavity and there was total dissociation of stomach and oesophagus at gastro-oesophageal junction (GEJ) (Figure 2). There was no other perforation or atresia noted in bowel after warm saline wash and wrapping of matted bowel in warm saline soaked mops. A full thickness primary anastomosis was contemplated, and ventral hernia was created with skin cover as closure of rectus muscles lead to high abdominal pressure (18mmHg). Baby was shifted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and was weaned off ventilator support after two days. The post-operative period was stormy in view of Acinetobacter sepsis and prolonged naos-gastric aspirates. We were able to start slowly infusion feeds and parental nutrition was tapered. Baby was discharged from NICU at one month of age and has been in follow up for one month with present weight of 2.76kg.

Primarily, being a desert country, western scientists and physicians did not believe the existence of a high prevalence of asthma and allergic rhinitis in Saudi Arabia, considering it as a non-specific bronchial hyper reactivity rather than an IgE mediated allergic response to local/regional allergens. In the late 80’s, we started our investigation on prevalence of asthma with an internationally designed questionnaire led by Professor JD Wilson, that time Professor of Clinical Immunology at King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. At the same time, we started indoor and outdoor aeroallergens monitoring program to evaluate the presence and role of various allergens presents in the environment. Our earlier findings were published [115], followed by many other investigators in the country. We continued our investigation and compared the prevalence data from 9 cities which showed an increasing pattern of asthma and allergic rhinitis nationally (Figure 1).","PeriodicalId":153075,"journal":{"name":"Research in Pediatrics & Neonatology","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132550433","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}
