CEREBRAL VASCULAR LESIONS IN NEWBORN INFANTS AND CHILDREN

Introduction: At present there are no exact epidemiologic data on the prevalence of neonatal skin disorders and birth marks in Hungary. Aim: The aim of the authors was to investigate the prevalence of skin disorders in mature healthy neonates after birth. Method: The survey was carried out in the Neonatal Care Unit at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Szeged between April, 2012 and May, 2013. Results:A total of 2289 newborn infants underwent whole-body screening skin examinations. At least one skin manifestation was found in 63% of the neonates. The major groups of skin disorders were transient benign cutaneous lesions, vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, traumatic, iatrogenic, congenital or acquired disorders with skin injuries, developmental abnormalities and benign skin tumours. The most frequent transient cutaneous lesions were erythema toxicum neonatorum, sebaceous hyperplasia and desquamation. The most common vascular lesions were naevus simplex, haemangioma and haemangioma precursor lesion, while the most frequently observed pigmented lesions were congenital melanocytic naevi and Mongolian spot. Conclusions: In the vast majority of cases, special treatment was not necessary, but 5.27% of the neonates required local dermatologic therapy, and in 9.2% of neonates follow up was recommended. Orv.

AbstractMortality in newborn infants and children with sepsis is high with survival rates of generally more than 50% in recent studies. Longitudinal follow-up studies have the potential to reveal short-term and lifelong physical, mental, and psychological sequelae. Although no comprehensive follow-up research has yet been performed, a small number of follow-up studies have shown that there is a considerable impact on the patients' lives and their families after hospital discharge. Health-related quality of life also seems to be affected; however, it does not correlate with severity of sepsis or handicap per se. Prematurely born infants, who can develop sequelae directly attributable to prematurity and its consequences, suffer differently from sepsis-related lifelong sequelae compared with older children. Fortunately, time may heal some wounds due to the effect of growth in children. In future, large centers should establish structural follow-up programs for clinical and research purposes to learn more about the needs of affected children and their families.

Background: Seizure is one of the most important cause of admission to the emergency department (ED). The admission rate can be decreased by identifying the etiology of seizure which leads to appropriate treatment and elimination of the underlying cause. The purpose of this study is to survey the etiology of seizure in cases admitted to ED. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 150 patients with seizure admitted to Zahedan city hospital in 2015-16. Data were collected by a checklist including demographic, familial history, past medical history of seizure, cause and type of seizure, time of occurrence, status seizure and cause of recurrence which was completed for each patient. The data was analyzed by statistical methods in SPSS.16. Results: Among all of 150 patients 82 (54.6%) were male and 68 (45.3%) were female. The most common age group was 18-45 years with 114 (76%) patients. 74 (49.3%) patients had PMH of seizure and 15(10%) patients had positive FH of seizure. The most common cause of seizure was idiopathic epilepsy (47.3%), cerebral vascular lesions (14%), withdrawal and poisoning (6.7%). The other causes were paroxysmal non epileptic seizure, primary and secondary brain tumors, metabolic diseases, trauma each with prevalence of (5.3%). Congenital diseases (3.3%), infections (2.7%), demyelinating diseases (2%) and others (2.7%). The most common type of seizures was generalized tonic-colonic seizure (69%). (55.3%) seizures occurred in 6AM- 6PM. (4.6%) patients had status seizure. The most prevalent causes of recurrent seizure was related to inadequate drug use. Conclusions: The most common cause of seizure was idiopathic epilepsy and the next common causes were cerebral vascular lesion and withdrawal. Regular follow up of epileptic patients and eliminating the underlying cause and social abnormality will be effective in decreasing the occurrence of seizure.

Health Maintenance

The commentary "The Pediatrician and Hypertension"1 emphasized a most important but still much ignored aspect of health maintenance of children. I feel that two points need to be emphasized further. First, physicians measuring blood pressure in children should be aware that the three sizes of cuff normally available for newborn, infants, and children may be inadequate and could potentially lead to an overestimation of the blood pressure. This situation arises because the bladder is frequently too short and not because it is too narrow.
