Hip surveillance in Tasmanian children with cerebral palsyJournal of Paediatrics and Child Health - Tập 45 Số 7-8 - Trang 437-443 - 2009
Annette Connelly, Peter Flett, H. Kerr Graham, Janene Oates
Background: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) are at risk of hip subluxation.
Over time, subluxation can lead to dislocation, deformity and pain. Hip
surveillance in the form of an X‐ray and clinical examination of this ‘at risk
group’ can identify early subluxation. Early subluxation can be treated,
preventing hip dislocation in many cases. Hip surveillance in CP commenced in
Tasmania in 1992.Ai... hiện toàn bộ
Malnutrition in children with chronic liver disease accepted for liver transplantation: Clinical profile and effect on outcomeJournal of Paediatrics and Child Health - Tập 27 Số 5 - Trang 295-299 - 1991

transplantation (OLTP) have been evaluated using clinical, biochemical and body
composition methods. Nutritional progress while waiting for a donor has been
related to outcome, whether transplanted or not. At the time of acceptance, most
children were un... hiện toàn bộ
High ambient temperature and risk of intestinal obstruction in cystic fibrosisJournal of Paediatrics and Child Health - Tập 52 Số 4 - Trang 430-435 - 2016
