Currently there are some scientific publications in Russia on isolated cases of the disease and none of a kind dedicated to the long-term observation of patients with assessment of the clinical picture. The purpose of this research was to analyze the dynamics of clinical manifestations in children with BS. Materials and methods used: a cohort study included observation of 9 boys with BS in 2015-2022. Results: all patients with genetically confirmed BS were diagnosed with cardiomyopathy with non-compact myocardium, while a dilated remodeling phenotype was noted in 78% of cases. In 67% of children, against the background of complex drug therapy, a decrease in the size of the left ventricle with an increase in ejection fraction was recorded. Neutropenia was detected in 89% of patients, requiring the use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in two cases. Frequent detection of prolongation of the QT interval (78%) and ECG patterns simulating the phenomenon of pre-excitation against the background of intraventricular conduction disturbances, acceleration of AV conduction, secondary disturbances of repolarization processes (44%) without fixation of ventricular arrhythmias were noted. The severity of the condition was determined by a combination of severe heart failure, conduction disturbances and clinically significant neutropenia. Fatal outcomes were recorded in 2 children (22%) at the age of 8 months old and 3.5 years old against the background of progressive heart failure and sudden death, respectively. Conclusion: a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach and early diagnosis of BS have an impact on the outcome of the disease.","PeriodicalId":503254,"journal":{"name":"Pediatria.

The first mention of them appeared in the early XX century when cases in children were initially described as conditions accompanied by painful twitching in the muscles, weakness and heart rhythm disturbances, the reasons for which remained unknown for a long time. The scientific research in recent decades has only made it possible to decipher the diseases’ pathogenesis mechanisms. Primary hypomagnesaemias are hereditary monogenic diseases in which, as a result of a violation of magnesium metabolism in the body, its concentration decreases and the main clinical manifestations of the disease develop. The clinical picture of hypomagnesemia in children can be diverse and nonspecific. Early symptoms are manifested in the form of short-term involuntary painful contractions of muscles or muscle groups, weakness, cardiac arrhythmia and fatigue. As the disease progresses, more rather serious symptoms such as stunted growth, psychomotor development and epileptic seizures may occur. The severity of clinical manifestations of hereditary hypomagnesaemias correlates with the degree and duration of magnesium deficiency: from general weakness and crumpy syndrome to the development of depression of consciousness and in some cases of an unfavorable outcome. The main methods for confirmatory diagnosis of genetically determined hypomagnesaemias are molecular genetic methods. Authors represent bibliographical review and recent updates on known primary hypomagnesaemias in terms of mechanisms of pathogenesis and clinical presentation as well as their own familial case description of hypomagnesaemia in children.","PeriodicalId":503254,"journal":{"name":"Pediatria.

In addition to the pretty well-studied microvascular complications of the disease, scientific sources also describe the brain damage that is manifested by cognitive impairment. Despite the problem being studied actively by researchers Worldwide, they have reported mixed and sometimes contractionary results. Thus, as of now there are disputes about the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and factors affecting the development of the abovementioned complications. Changes in the brain are registered at all age periods with special attention being fairly paid in childhood and adolescence because such disorders of carbohydrate metabolism during active growth can lead not only to functional, but also to structural changes in the brain. This is manifested by memory impairment and decreased attention concentration, which in its turn negatively affects the academic performance of schoolchildren and therefore reduces the quality of life of patients. Further study of this problem would help developing an algorithm for early diagnosis of cognitive impairment among children and adolescents with DM1 in order to increase compliance among patients, reduce the risk of microvascular complications and possible disability in older age. A promising direction in the diagnosis of cognitive disorders are neuroimaging methods, which, as opposed to neuropsychological tests, are helping to identify morphofunctional changes in the brain. This bibliographical review describes the etiology of cognitive disorders in children and adolescents with DM1, the main variants of cognitive dysfunction, the effect of the disease on schooling performance and neuroimaging disorders of the brain.","PeriodicalId":503254,"journal":{"name":"Pediatria.

About 10% of all cases of aHUS in children are aHUS associated with antibodies to complement factor H (CFH-Ab-aHUS). In 90% of cases CFH-Ab-aHUS is represented by DEAP-HUS (Deficiency of Complement Factor H Related (CFHR) plasma proteins and Autoantibody Positive Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome) with a predominant deficiency of CFHR1, most often due to a homozygous deletion of CFHR3/CFHR1. CFH-Ab-aHUS is characterized by the age of onset of the disease of 4 to 12 years old; the presence of a prodrome, more often associated with gastrointestinal disorders such as vomiting and abdominal pain, less often diarrhea; relapsing course with a high risk in the first 6 months from the onset of the disease, a high proportion of adverse outcomes: death of the patient or development of end stage chronic kidney disease (CKD). Determination of the CFH-Ab titer should be performed in all children with HUS, and in case of their increase, regularly monitored during treatment. Treatment begins with eculizumab or its biosimilar until a CFH-Ab titer is obtained and, if CFH-Ab-aHUS is confirmed, it is necessary to switch to intensive plasma exchanges in combination with immunosuppressive therapy. If there are contraindications to immunosuppressive therapy or if there is no effect from it, if plasma exchanges are impossible or ineffective, if significant mutations in complement regulator genes are detected, it is necessary to continue or return to complement blocking therapy. After achieving remission of the disease, long-term monitoring of patients is required to control residual effects on the kidneys (hematuria, proteinuria, CKD) and the cardiovascular system (arterial hypertension, left ventricular myocardial hypertrophy). In patients who have reached the end stage of CKD, it is mandatory to determine the anti-CFH titer and conduct a molecular genetic research in order to determine the risks of the disease returning to the kidney graft and the need for prophylactic therapy with eculizumab or its biosimilar before and after the surgical intervention.","PeriodicalId":503254,"journal":{"name":"Pediatria.
