Introduction. Body temperature is measure in all setting of primary health care. There are some thermometers for use, but the results of their measurements are controversial.Patients and methods. We made measurements of body temperature with cutaneous, ear, digital axillary and mercurial axillary in 100 children under 18 years old that attended a private ambulatory pediatric health care; they were rest 15 minutes and then we made the measurements, two times for one researcher and another time for a different research. The time between measurements were 15 minutes. We calculated validity and repeatability in cutaneous, ear and digital axillary thermometers compared with mercurial axillary; we obtained r Pearson and regression lineal equation. We calculated Kappa for the agreement intra-researcher and inter-researchers.Results. Sensitivity was low (<70%) for cutaneous and ear thermometers, but it was high for digital axillary. Predictive positive value was high for digital axillary thermometry compared with mercurial axillary (>90%). r de Pearson was excellent (>0.90) between digital axillary and mercurial with regression lineal equation significative (p<.05). Kappa was higher, o89 y 0.90 for digital axillary and mercurial axillary thermometry. Conclusion. In our sample, digital axillary thermometer measured the body temperature more similar that mercurial axillary thermometer.
介绍。在初级卫生保健的所有环境中都要测量体温。有一些温度计可供使用，但它们的测量结果是有争议的。患者和方法。我们测量了100名18岁以下儿童的皮肤、耳、指腋窝和汞腋窝的体温，这些儿童在私立儿科门诊就诊;他们休息了15分钟，然后我们做了测量，一个研究人员做了两次，另一个研究做了一次。测量间隔时间为15分钟。我们计算了皮肤体温计、耳体温计和数字腋窝体温计与水银腋窝体温计的有效性和重复性;得到r - Pearson和回归线性方程。我们计算了研究人员内部和研究人员之间的协议Kappa。灵敏度低(90%)。r de Pearson在数字腋窝和水银之间的差异极好(>0.90)，回归线性方程显著(p< 0.05)。数字腋窝测温和水银腋窝测温Kappa值更高，分别为0.89和0.90。结论。在我们的样本中，数字腋下体温计测量的体温与水银腋下体温计更接近。

Vascular anomalies are congenital errors in vasculogenesis. They comprise of vascular tumors (hemangiomas) and vascular malformations (venous malformations, arteriovenous malformations, lymphatic malformations). Lymphatic malformations or lymphangiomas are uncommon congenital malformations of the lymphatic vessels filled with a clear protein rich fluid containing few lymph rich cells. Large lymphangioma extending into tissue spaces of the neck is reffered to as cystic hygroma. Advancements in the knowledge of pathogenesis of such vascular malformations is continuously changing their treatment protocols. Early recognition is of utmost importance for initiation of proper treatment, and avoiding serious complications. Lymphangiomas are further subclassified microscopically into capillary, cavernous, cystic and lymphangioendothelioma depending upon its histopathological features. Haemangiolymphangioma is a variant of lymphangioma showing vascular component. Herewith, we present a case of vascular malformation diagnosed as haemangiolymphangima, histopathologically in a 5 year old girl. On the contrary, it is argued that instead of being a congenital malformation, lymphangioma is a true neoplasm resulting from transformed lymphatic endothelial cells and/ or stromal cells.

BackgroundThe optimal time of cord clamping has been a subject of heated discussion. It has been reported that placental transfusion occurs primarily at 10 seconds after delivery, therefore immediate cord clamping may deprive the newborn of blood. Material and methodsTwo hundred term newborns born over a two-month period were divided into two groups: group A with immediate cord clamping and group B with clamping at 10 seconds after birth.ResultsAt least one morbidity event was recorded in 35% of patients in group A and in 8% of patients in group B.DiscussionThe time of delay was based on reports that 5% of circulating volume can be transfused at 10 seconds after birth without risk. Morbidity was higher in the group with immediate cord clamping than in the delayed clamping group.ConclusionsDelayed cord clamping is a safe procedure with beneficial effects for the newborn.

Small bowel intussusceptions are much less common than the ileocolic type. The unusual age group and variable presentation contribute to the frequent delay in diagnosis with increased morbidity and mortality. Majority of cases of isolated ileoileal intussusception are associated with a pathological lead point. Idiopathic ileoileal intussusceptions are rare, especially in older children. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of antegrade ileoileal intussusception in older school-age children without an apparent predisposing cause.

We report the case of a 29-year-old Causcasian woman (G5P0) who delivered a full-term female infant. Fetal growth and development were normal throughout gestation. The pregnancy was complicated by 3rd trimester preeclampsia, requiring induction of labor at 40 weeks gestation. Diagnosis of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT or NATP) or feto-maternal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FMAIT or FMAITP) was made and is discussed in this article.

Background: Classically, Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) pneumonia is recognised 4 to 11 weeks after birth. However, some reports have described the early presentation associated with a respiratory signology, basically before 8 days of life. Objective: To describe in cases series the clinical behaviour, the characteristics of the laboratory examinations and the radiological alterations presented in nine patients less than 8 days with a positive culture for Ct during January 2005 through December 2007. Methods Ct was identified through culture of bronchial aspirates, using a sterile Dacron swab which was maintained in 0.2 mL of 2SP transport media (Sacarose phosphate pH 7.2, supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum and antibiotics). McCoy cells in culture were inoculated with this media. Identification of Ct was made by direct immunofluorescence using specific anti-Chlamydia monoclonal antibodies, and by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Results: Taquypnea, pulmonary reticulonodular infiltrate and eosinophilia were the most frequent clinical signs. No other microorganism was identified. Treatment with chlarithromycin was effective in all cases.Conclusions This study support the early pulmonary infection by Chlamydia trachomatis as an illness, which must be suspected and researched in the neonatal, above all in premature neonates, with clinical symptoms of respiratory distress, without data of systemic inflammatory response and with radiographic alterations.
背景:沙眼衣原体肺炎通常在出生后4 - 11周被诊断出来。然而，一些报告描述了与呼吸体征相关的早期表现，基本上是在8天之前。目的:描述2005年1月至2007年12月期间9例Ct培养阳性患者在8天内出现的临床行为、实验室检查特征和影像学改变。方法用无菌涤纶拭子培养支气管抽吸液，用0.2 mL 2SP运输培养基(磷酸糖糖pH 7.2，添加10%胎牛血清和抗生素)培养Ct。用该培养基接种培养的McCoy细胞。采用特异性衣原体单克隆抗体和聚合酶链反应(PCR)直接免疫荧光法对Ct进行鉴定。结果:呼吸困难、肺网状结节浸润和嗜酸性粒细胞增多是最常见的临床症状。未发现其他微生物。克拉霉素治疗对所有病例均有效。结论本研究支持沙眼衣原体早期肺部感染是一种疾病，必须在新生儿，特别是早产儿中怀疑和研究，临床症状为呼吸窘迫，没有全身炎症反应的资料，影像学改变。

Moya Moya is a rare idiopathic progressive vaso-occlusive disease characterized by irreversible occlusion of main blood vessels to the brain as they enter into the skull. The occlusive process stimulates the development of an extensive network of enlarged basal, transcortical and transdural collateral vessels The blockage tends to cause strokes or seizures. The process of narrowing of cerebral vessels seems to be a reaction of brain blood vessels to a wide variety of external stimuli, injuries or genetic defects.We present a case of progressive vasculopathy in a 10 year old girl with history of tubercular meningitis in the infancy and which is being rarely described in pediatric population in which tubercular meningitis is still very much common in this part of world.

This research proposal investigates the utility of the Brain Score and craniosacral fascial therapy for newborns. We will use sound research methodology to measure the Brain Score’s reproducibility and reliability in assessing neonatal neurophysiology and the effectiveness of craniosacral fascial therapy on newborns and mothers-to-be to significantly decrease the incidence of many chronic pediatric diseases. The primary hypothesis states that fetal and birth trauma may cause tissue tightness, impair neurophysiology, and sow the seeds of chronic illness in children. As the genes imprint physical traits at conception, untreated trauma may also stamp newborns with chronic conditions for life. Because clinical experience has shown craniosacral fascial therapy to be effective for children, toddlers, and infants with these chronic conditions, the most logical step through inductive reasoning is to propose research methods to investigate the practice of the Brain Score and craniosacral fascial therapy for neonates. If the Brain Score proves to be a reproducible and reliable test, it will alert professionals to at-risk newborns and indicate craniosacral fascial therapy to improve neurophysiology. We intend to prove the primary hypothesis by showing that newborn treatment to mitigate nine months of fetal and birth trauma significantly decreases the incidence of fifteen common diseases in children. The secondary hypothesis states that mothers may pass trauma through their own craniosacral fascial strain patterns on to their newborns during the fetal and birth period to eventually cause pediatric illness. We intend to prove that preventative craniosacral fascial therapy for mothers-to-be has a significantly positive effect on neonatal neurophysiology, thus decreasing the incidence of future pediatric disease.
