Results: During the study period, we retained 156 files with a hospital prevalence of 2.4%. The average pulse oxygen saturation of the patients was 89%. Ventricular septal defect (VSD) was the most frequent (45%), followed by atrial septal defect (ASD) (40%), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) (26%), pulmonary stenosis (16%), atrioventricular septal defect (ASD) (4%) and Tetralogy of Fallot (2%). The sex ratio was 0.89. 93.10% of the patients were aged up to 24 months (n=148) against 6.90% aged over 24 months (n=11). The average pulse oxygen saturation of the patients was 89%. Ventricular septal defect (VIC) was the most frequent (45%), followed by atrial septal defect (ASD) (40%), patent ductus arteriosus (PCA) (26%), pulmonary stenosis (16%), atrioventricular septal defect (VAD) (4%) and Tetralogy of Fallot (2%).The sex ratio was 0.89. Among the patients, 93.10% were aged up to 24 months (n=148) compared to 6.90% aged over 24 months (n=11). The average age of children was 9 months. Conclusion: CHD are a reality in Africa, their frequencies in all reported series are certainly underestimated due to the very limited means of diagnosis.

Background: Determine the usefulness of ear pain anticipatory counseling for young children with public health plans to reduce visits for acute otitis media (AOM) and shift visits from urgent care/emergency department (UC/ED) settings to primary care clinic (PCC) settings. Methods: We documented the AOM visit distribution and incidence rates by setting according to race/ethnicity from the EPIC electronic medical record system for 12 months following the enrollment of eligible 12-15 month old children in a single blind randomized control trial of ear pain counseling. Results: Among the 310 children enrolled in the study, 30.6% of participants had at least 1 AOM visit and 4.5% had 3 or more AOM visits. The overall incidence was 490 AOM visit episodes per 1000 child years with rates of 232 in PCC and 226 in UC/ED settings. The difference in the proportion of Hispanic children with at least 1 AOM visit (33.5% 52/155) compared to Non-Hispanic children (24% 25/106) approached significance (p=0.08). The counseling intervention did not reduce the proportion of children with at least 1 AOM visit (counseling: 29.0%: 45/155; control: 32.3% 50/155 p=0.54); the proportion of children with 3 or more AOM visits (counseling: 5.8%: 9/155; control: 3.2% 5/155 p=0.41); or the AOM visit incidence rates (counseling: 471; control: 510) and did not shift AOM visits from the UC/ED to PCC setting. Conclusions: Anticipatory ear pain counseling in a hospital based PCC serving children enrolled in public plans does not reduce PCC or UC/ED AOM visit incidence rates.

Walker-Warburg Syndrome is a genetically heterogeneous disease with autosomal recessive inheritance presenting with congenital muscular dystrophy with cerebro-ocular malformations since birth or infancy. Literature shows a mutation in Protein O-Mannosyltransferase 1 (POMT1) gene, which results in a defect in O-mannosylation of α-dystroglycan, these proteins are central to the pathogenesis of structural and functional brain abnormalities however, the exact pathophysiology of this disorder is not fully understood. The overall incidence still remains unknown and most cases have been reported from the Western hemisphere. In our setting we report a case of 3 weeks old male baby who was delivered by spontaneous vertex delivery at gestation age of 26 weeks with birth weight of 1900 gm referred to our hospital on the 6th day of life, with complaint of bilateral prominent, protruding eyes and inability to close the eyelids. The parents were non-consanguineous and this was the first child. No ante- natal ultrasound was done during the pregnancy. On further examination, he had macrocephaly 33 cm (>97th centile) with no fusion of the sutures, depressed nasal bridge, low set ears, bilateral dental lamina cyst, bilateral cortical thumb, micrognathia, and scoliosis. Systemic examination revealed a normal conscious level with weak cry, normal facial symmetry, generalized hypotonia and primitive reflex were weak to absent and ocular examination revealed bupthalmos, bilateral megalocornea and glaucoma. Creatine kinase was elevated-522 unit/L (0-25 units/L). Cranial Ultrasound revealed Dandy-Walker cyst in the posterior fossa cyst, with third ventricle dilatation (ventriculomegally), the corpus callosum was normal, Interventricular hemorrhage grade 2 and hyper echogenic eyeballs. Echocardiography revealed Double Outlet Right Ventricle. Management was supportive, aimed to improve growth through optimum feeding, eye padding for protection and diuretics for the underlying congenital heart disease.Conclusion: Overall prognosis of this disease is poor, the baby died in 42 days due to aspiration pneumonia and progressive respiratory failure. Genetic counselling was done to the parents, since in families with one affected child, the risk of having another child with the disease is 25%. A high index of suspicion during a routine antenatal ultrasound could prompt further advanced fetal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging, and aid in timely prenatal diagnosis, management, and counseling.

Background: This study sought to identify variables associated with socioeconomic disparities in the treatment of distal forearm fractures in children. Methods: A single-institution retrospective cohort study of patients less than 18 years of age with isolated fractures of the distal radius and ulna. Patient included underwent a closed reduction and casting under sedation by an orthopedic resident with outpatient, clinical follow up within two weeks of injury. Demographic data were collected. Primary outcomes evaluated were the final fracture alignment and rate of surgical treatment. Results: 177 children included in this study, including 105 with private insurance and 72 with Medicaid or no insurance, 129 were white and 48 were minorities, and 51 were female while 126 were male. There were no statistically significant differences between patient groups when assessed for treatment outcome, mean fracture displacement, time to first clinic appointment, and duration of follow-up. Rates of surgical treatment between all groups tested were non-significant. Of patients that met institutional operative criteria, a lower percentage of non-white (p=0.03), male (p=0.07), and non-private insurance patients (p=0.08) received surgery when surgery was indicated compared to white female patients with insurance. Conclusions: At a single institution, no clear disparities in the overall care and outcomes of children with distal radius and ulna fractures were identified. When surgery was indicated by institutional standards, a significantly greater percentage of white patients underwent surgery when compared to non-whites, but no significant difference in the percentage of good, fair, and poor outcomes between these groups was seen.

There are numerous published works on thrombocytopenic syndrome with radius aplasia. Most of them refer to cases or families with several affected individuals without giving them follow-up. Here we report the follow up of a patient with the syndrome. The clinical manifestations found in the patient are not classical since thrombocytopenic syndrome with Radius Aplasia does not usually have bilateral agenesis of radius and ulna at birth as is shown in this case. In addition, the musculoskeletal manifestations in this patient were present 16 years afterwards. Therefore, the phenotypic expression of this syndrome in the present case is of great interest.

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is one of the most common types of sleep-disordered breathing in children and is characterized by partial or complete obstruction of the upper airways during sleep with repeated episodes of airflow cessation, reduction in blood oxygen saturation and sleep disruption to restore patency of the upper airways. Because polysomnography, the gold-standard test for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea, is a costly procedure with technical difficulties, home respiratory polygraphy is used as an alternative diagnostic method. This review seeks to summarize the utility of home respiratory polygraphy in detecting obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and to show if it can be used as a substitute for polysomnography in children.

Background: Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects people and requires the continuation of medical treatment and follow-up, which is a widespread disease at all the time and places in the world. Aims: To assess the knowledge level of participants towards diabetic mellitus and found any relation between variables. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in Diabetes and endocrine center in Baghdad for a period started from February 2018 up to July 2018. In this study (150) diabetic patients from different age categories, both males and females, were included in the study. The data analysis through descriptive and chi- square statistical analysis by using soft STATA version 13. Results: The mean age of participants were 40.8 and SD 0.94 with 95% CI [39.0155-42.7310]. 52 (34.7%) in the age groups (40-49) years old, 86 (57.3%) were males, live in urban area were 128 (85.3%), employed 45 (30%), married 105 (70%), 38 (25.3%) were elementary school. Not statistically significant has been found between the type of diabetic and gender with the knowledge level toward diabetic. Conclusions: Most participants had type II diabetes mellitus and family history; the participants had a moderate Knowledge levels towards diabetes. Significant association has been found between the knowledge level of diabetic with the age groups and type of therapy. Assist patient to determine amount of food, drink, or glucose tablets; also, education and guidance are provided to patients to identify risks for hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia and appropriately treat hypoglycemia to avoid unnecessary caloric intake and weight gain.

We are reporting on an 11-month-old infant girl with two interesting findings. The first is dilated cardiomyopathy following an acute clinical course, which on presentation suggested acute myocarditis; two-dimensional echocardiographic findings showed severely-dilated left atrial and ventricular chambers as well as severe ventricular dysfunction. The second is the occurrence of right-sided middle cerebral artery stroke, with clinical manifestations of sudden onset left-sided hemiparalysis, secondary to right carotid artery occlusion. To the best of our knowledge, there is no previous report in the literature of this condition within a similar age group.
