Clinically responsive placental examination seeks to provide useful information regarding the etiology, prognosis, and recurrence risk of pregnancy disorders. The purpose of this study was to assemble and validate a complete set of the placental reaction patterns seen with amniotic fluid infection in the hope that this might provide a standardized diagnostic framework useful for practicing...... hiện toàn bộ Neonatal Necrotizing Enterocolitis: Clinical Considerations and Pathogenetic Concepts Tập 6 Số 1 - Trang 6-23 - 2003

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a disease affecting predominantly premature infants, is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in neonatal intensive care units. Although several predisposing factors have been identified, such as prematurity, enteral feeding, and infection, its pathogenesis remains elusive. In the past 20 years, we have established several animal models of NEC in rats ...... hiện toàn bộ Late-onset and Recurrent Neonatal Group B Streptococcal Disease Associated with Breast-milk Transmission Tập 6 Số 3 - Trang 251-256 - 2003

The purpose of the study was to determine the epidemiological relationships in three unrelated cases of neonatal late-onset Group B streptococcal (GBS) disease and maternal breast-milk infection with GBS. All deliveries were by cesarean section; case 1 was at term, and cases 2 and 3 were at 32- and 33-wk gestation, respectively. Case 1 relates to a mother with clinical mastitis and recurr...... hiện toàn bộ National Wilms Tumor Study: An Update for Pathologists - 1998
Beckwith Jb
The National Wilms Tumor Study (NWTS)-5, begun in August 1995, incorporates some important new definitions and concepts that have critical importance in determining therapy and prognosis. The criteria for stage 1 were refined to accommodate an important subset of stage 1 Wilms tumors that are being managed by nephrectomy alone, without the use of adjuvant therapy. The distinction between ...... hiện toàn bộ Enteric Adenovirus Infection in Pediatric Small Bowel Transplant Recipients - 2001
Maria Parizhskaya, Janet Walpusk, George Mazariegos, Ronald Jaffe
Three of 70 small bowel transplant recipients were diagnosed with adenovirus enteritis. The biopsies were performed for surveillance in one patient at 2.7 years after transplantation and in two symptomatic children 1.5 years and 4.5 months after transplantation. In all three patients the characteristic epithelial changes were not noted by the primary observers. Two biopsies had been calle...... hiện toàn bộ Pediatric Renal Carcinoma Associated with Xp11.2 Translocations/TFE3 Gene Fusions and Clinicopathologic Associations Tập 8 Số 2 - Trang 168-180 - 2005

Renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) are rare in children and studies of their subtypes and clinicopathologic associations are limited to small series. We identified 8 patients with RCC treated at our institution between 1981 and 2003, reviewed their clinicopathologic features, cytogenetics findings, and evaluated the status of TFE3 expression by immunohistochemistry and numerical chromosomal alte...... hiện toàn bộ Histiocytoid Cardiomyopathy: Three New Cases and a Review of the Literature Tập 1 Số 1 - Trang 56-69 - 1998

Histiocytoid cardiomyopathy (HC), a rare arrhythmogenic disorder, presents as difficult-to-control arrhythmias or sudden death in infants and children, particularly girls. Three cases are described with autopsy findings. In two cases, yellow-tan nodules were grossly visible in the myocardium; in the third case, no gross lesions were identified. Microscopic examination in all three cases re...... hiện toàn bộ Pediatric Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor with Late Metastasis to the Lung: Case Report and Review of the Literature Tập 8 Số 2 - Trang 224-229 - 2005

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are challenging lesions with respect to classification, differential diagnosis, and biologic potential. In children, extrapulmonary IMTs, particularly those from the abdomen or mesentery, are generally aggressive, with frequent local recurrences. There are few documented patients with distant metastasis, and most of these had metastases at present...... hiện toàn bộ
