Long-term survival after liver transplantation in children with metabolic disorders
(Munksgaard International PublishersBlackwell Publishing Ltd, 2002-09)
Background: Liver transplantation for inherited metabolic disorders aims to save the patient's life when the disorder is expected to progress to organ failure, and to cure the underlying metabolic defect. Methods : We ...
Tetralogy of fallot: Factors influencing the mortality rate of total correction
(Elsevier, 1968-04)
Total correction of tetralogy of Fallot was carried out in 215 patients from 1957 through mid-1967. Twenty-eight patients died during the period of hospitalization following the operation, and 5 died later. The operative ...
Oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production during liquid ventilation
(Elsevier, 1993-04)
Liquid ventilation with perfluorocarbon (PFCV) has advantages over conventional gas ventilation (GV) in premature and lung-injured newborn animals. Indirect calorimetric measurement of both oxygen consumption (VO2) and ...
Megacolon: an unusual presentation of malrotation
(Springer-Verlag, 1994-11)
This report describes a 9-year-old boy with a highly unusual variant of malrotation: massive colonic distention secondary to peritoneal bands and a localized volvulus. The presentation and treatment are presented.
Successful management of a chylothorax in infancy using a pleurectomy
(Springer-Verlag, 1996-02)
The management of chylothorax is described in three infants. Because none of them had had a direct injury to the thoracic duct, it was suspected that the chylothoraces had a significant chance of recurrence after simple ...
Gene alteration of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes in response to massive small bowel resection
(Springer-Verlag, 2003-07)
The intestinal adaptive response [increased epithelial cell (EC) proliferation and apoptosis] after massive small bowel resection (SBR) is partially controlled by intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL). To identify IEL factors ...
Evaluation of the right atrial venous oxygen saturation as a physiologic monitor in a neonatal model
(Elsevier, 1993-07)
Pulmonary artery (PA) mixed venous saturation (SO2) has become a crucial monitor in the adult intensive care unit, but is not used in neonates because of the difficulty in PA catheterization. We evaluated the possibility ...
Surgical treatment of thyrotoxicosis in children and adolescents
(Elsevier, 1977-12)
Forty-one children and adolescents had thyroidectomies for Grave's disease during an 8 yr period. Twenty patients became euthyroid within a short period after treatment with antithyroid drugs and had operations with minimal ...
The effect of hypoxia on permeability and bacterial translocation in Caco-2 adult and I-407 fetal enterocyte cell culture models
(Springer-Verlag, 2003-07)
Hypoxia has been implicated in the breakdown of the intestinal epithelial barrier in animals, leading to bacterial translocation (BT); however, the mechanism of this hypoxic insult is unknown. To determine the effects of ...
Extracellular fluid and total body water changes in neonates undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
(Elsevier, 1992-08)
After being placed on extracorporeal life support (ECLS), newborn patients typically weight 5% to 30% more than their birthweight. Recovery and eventual decannulation from ECLS is associated with a return to baseline weight ...
