The Impact of Neonatal Illness on Nutritional Requirements: One Size Does Not Fit AllCurrent Pediatrics Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 248-254 - 2014
Sara E. Ramel, Laura D. Brown, Michael K. Georgieff
Sick neonates are at high risk for growth failure and poorer neurodevelopment
than their healthy counterparts. The etiology of postnatal growth failure in
sick infants is likely multi-factorial and includes undernutrition due to the
difficulty of feeding them during their illness and instability. Illness also
itself induces fundamental changes in cellular metabolism that appear to
significantly al... hiện toàn bộ
The Microbiome and its Impact on Disease in the Preterm PatientCurrent Pediatrics Reports - - 2013
Josef Neu
Emerging technologies derived largely from the Human Genome Project are applied
to evaluating the intestinal microbiota in preterm infants. The microbial
ecology of the developing intestine is highly related to health and disease, and
new discoveries are emerging that will help us understand disorders in the
development of the intestinal microbial ecosystem and how to eventually
manipulate them to... hiện toàn bộ
Lupus Nephritis: Novel Treatments and Diagnostic ApproachesCurrent Pediatrics Reports - Tập 1 - Trang 41-51 - 2012
Namrata G. Jain, Elizabeth A. K. Hunt, Elahna Paul, Michael J. G. Somers
Over the last decade, therapy for lupus nephritis in children has begun to shift
from the provision of long-term steroids and intravenous cyclophosphamide to
regimens with limited or no cyclophosphamide, lower steroid burdens, and
increased reliance on oral mycophenolate mofetil. As the molecular immunology
underlying the pathophysiology of lupus is further discerned, more targeted
therapies, incl... hiện toàn bộ
Pediatric to Adult Transition for Adolescents and Young Adults with Kidney TransplantCurrent Pediatrics Reports - Tập 10 - Trang 155-163 - 2022
Ashley A. Sharma, Amita Sharma
Adolescents and young adults with kidney transplant must graduate to adult care.
Transition is a natural process; planned transition in this vulnerable
population increases the probability of success. We describe the process,
barriers to successful transition, and literature review on transition in
children with kidney transplant. Many guidelines for a successful transition
process exist in this p... hiện toàn bộ
Atrial Septal Defect Device Closure in the Pediatric Population: A Current ReviewCurrent Pediatrics Reports - Tập 3 - Trang 237-244 - 2015
Matthew A. Crystal, Julie A. Vincent
Atrial septal defects are the most common congenital cardiac defects. The
natural history of an uncorrected atrial septal defect causes a shortened life
expectancy due to right ventricular volume overload and associated congestive
heart failure, atrial arrhythmias, and/or pulmonary vascular disease. Surgical
closure of the atrial septal defect is a procedure with a long-standing history,
and the m... hiện toàn bộ
Precocious Puberty and Its TreatmentCurrent Pediatrics Reports - Tập 1 - Trang 133-140 - 2013
Peter A. Lee, Christopher P. Houk
Recent publications primarily relate to advances in central precocious puberty
(CPP), with little new information concerning the diagnosis and treatment of
peripheral precocious puberty (PPP). New information concerning CPP is centered
on newer treatment options, all of which involve newer modes of delivering
Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone analog therapy. Recent publications about CPP and
the asso... hiện toàn bộ
Advances in the Evaluation and Management of Childhood Functional Abdominal PainCurrent Pediatrics Reports - Tập 6 - Trang 79-85 - 2018
Peter L. Lu, Miguel Saps
Our objective is to review recent advances in the classification, evaluation,
and management of children with functional abdominal pain. The Rome IV criteria
allow the provider to identify whether a child’s presentation is consistent with
a functional abdominal pain disorder. The concept of the multidimensional
clinical profile acknowledges that multiple unique factors can contribute to a
child’s ... hiện toàn bộ
