Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (EDC) is a malformation of the thoracic-abdominal barrier, in which the abdominal organs are transported into the chest through the natural pathological openings in the diaphragm. The frequency of occurrence in newborns is 1: 2500-1: 5000, which is 8% of all congenital anomalies. Diaphragmatic hernia is divided into three main groups: hernia proper diaphragm (false, true), hiatal hernia (true), hernia of the anterior part of the diaphragm. The article presents a clinical case of early diagnosis of congenital false hernia of the diaphragm itself.

Background: Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is a method of care of preterm and low birth weight infants. The method involves infants being carried, usually by the mother, with skin-to-skin contact. Objectives: We evaluated the hypothesis that KMC could have beneficial effects on breast milk (BM) production, neonatal neurological development and onset of ROP. We also evaluated the type of lactation during and after hospitalization and the duration of admission in the two groups. Methods: Our sample was made of 46 mothers of 46 preterm newborns (gestational age <34 weeks, birth weight <1500g) admitted at our NICU. They were divided into 2 groups: Group A, made of 23 mothers who have performed a regular extraction of BM and KMC in a dedicated space with a psychological support; group B, made of 23 mothers who have not performed a regular extraction of BM and KMC in a similar setting. Results: The average amount of BM extracted by mothers in group A was greater than group B. Moreover, the comparative analysis showed that 78% of newborns who performed an efficient KMC had a significantly better neurological outcome (p <0.05). A statistically significant difference (p <0.05) was found in the percentage of mothers who continued breastfeeding after discharge (A 52% versus B 26%). The average length of hospital stay was lower in the group A than group B (p <0.05). On the other hands there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups concerning the onset of ROP. Conclusion: KMC performed in comfortable settings with the help of psychological support figures increases the production of BM, promotes the continuation of breastfeeding at the time of discharge and improves the neurological outcome of preterm infants.

Echinococcosis is a prevalent zoonosis in endemic region in the world. Although echinococcosis can be present in all parts of the human body, renal echinococcosis is relatively uncommon compared to liver and lung localizations. Its diagnosis is sometimes problematic. There are no specific clinical symptoms or positive result in a routine laboratory analysis that will reliably confirm the diagnosis of renal echinococcus. In this study, a primary right renal hydatic cyst which was found in a 7-year-old girl has been presented. The patient was treated successfully by open surgery in combination with postoperative chemotherapy with albendazole. Physicians should be aware of its clinical presentations and complications.

The number of congenital malformations, which are the main cause of early childhood mortality and disability has grown significantly over the past ten years. Congenital anomalies resulting in serious disorders often accompany pathology of the brain. The results of clinical observation of the patient with significant malformation of the central nervous system Dandy-Walker syndrome, have been presented in this paper. Dandy-Walker syndrome occurs in one out of every 25,000 live births but is still not fully understood.

Background: Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), commonly known to cause the childhood disease roseola and nonspecific viral illness, has been known to cause serious neurological complications including fever induced seizures and encephalitis with possible long-term sequelae especially in immunocompromised patients. Purposes: To report a rare case of HHV-6 meningitis in a 32-day old male infant and the challenging therapeutic approach required to treat and manage this condition. Case summary: A 32-day old male infant presented with one episode of high-grade fever and bulging anterior fontanel in the absence of skin rashes. Blood tests were normal but lumbar puncture done at admission revealed lymphocytic pleocytosis secondary to acute HHV-6 confirmed by CSF PCR. Data indicating appropriate treatment in this age group is limited. In this case, the patient received Ganciclovir IV for 14 days and showed clinical improvement. Conclusion: Treatment of HHV-6 meningitis with ganciclovir is recommended for immunocompromised patients, including immune deficient patients, and those receiving chemotherapy or prolonged course of steroid. However, literature does not support any specific treatment for immunocompetent children. No data or clear recommendations are currently available for the treatment of neonates with HHV-6 meningitis. Should neonates be thought of as immunocompromised hosts and be treated with Ganciclovir or should they only receive supportive treatment? More studies are required to have an evidence based antiviral treatment in this age group.

Dear colleagues, the assessment of the events and phenomena taking place around us, as well as the nature of the reaction to them are determined by the existing ideas and views on the essence of what is happening. As the old postulate of philosophy says: “Ideas rule the world”. This Maxim is relevant for all spheres and branches of our life, including medicine. In the latter case, conceptual ideas about the nature of the disease determine the direction and nature of medical care. It is no secret that the deeper and more specific our knowledge about the causes and mechanisms of the development of the painful process, the higher the chances of achieving maximum success in its treatment. In this context, the modern understanding of the nature of acute pneumonia (АР) raises many questions, to which there are actually no reasoned answers in the available literature.

In a bid to construct an all-encompassing definition of the multi-faceted condition that is cerebral palsy (CP), The Study of Cerebral Palsy in Europe (SCPE) and the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine (AACPDM) have attempted a unifying definition, as follows: “Cerebral palsy describes a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing foetal or infant brain. The motor disorders are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition, communication and behavior; by epilepsy and by secondary musculoskeletal problems” [1].
