Purpose. To identify the clinical course of the «risk-forms» of peripheral vitreochorioretinal dystrophy (PVCRD) depending on sex, age, type and degree of refraction in children, as well as to establish the characteristics of the diagnosis and treatment of PVCRD in childhood. Methods. A retrospective analysis of medical records of pediatric patients who underwent peripheral prophylactic laser retinal coagulation (PPLRC) regarding the «risk-forms» of PVHRD at the ophthalmology department of MAUZ Children’s Clinical Hospital No. 1 from 2017 to 2019 was performed. 241 childr (293 eyes) aged 7 to 17 years (mean age 14.1 ± 2.4 years) were operated. Results. PVCRD in children is asymptomatic and it is detected at the age of 7 to 17 years, regardless of gender, the peak of occurrence is 10–14 years. The most common type of PVCRD is «lattice» dystrophy. PVCRD is predominant in low degree myopia. Quite a lot of cases of PVCRD detected in emmetropic refraction, as well as in hyperopic refraction and combined astigmatism. Conclusions. A thorough examination of the periphery of the fundus is necessary in all children, regardless of age and refraction. The parameters of laser coagulation in children differ from those in adults. Given the characteristics of childhood, the success of the operation depends on the correct preoperative preparation, including psychological preparation, contact of the surgeon with the child during the operation. Key words: peripheral dystrophy; ophthalmoscopy; mydriasis; laser coagulation; children. vitreochorioretinal

In May 2021, the Alpha variant (B.1.1.7) of SARS-CoV-2 was found in 91% of the SARS-CoV-2 cases in Germany. Not much is known about the symptoms, courses of disease, and infectiousness in pediatric patients with the Alpha variant. Objective: The aim of this retrospective analysis was to gain information on the infection with the Alpha variant in children and adolescents. Methods: Between 12 January 2021 and 3 June 2021, all nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) of children who received a swab for SARS-CoV-2 were included. Data were collected on standardized questionnaires. The analysis of data was anonymized and retrospective. Results: We investigated 3544 NAATs; 95 children were tested positive (2.7%) for SARS-CoV-2. For the sub-analysis, 65 children were analyzed. In 59 children, the Alpha variant was found (90.8%), and 54.2% (n = 32/59) were symptomatic. The most common symptoms were fever, cough, and rhinitis. The median Ct value was 24.0 (min 17.0; max 32.7). Conclusions: We can underline early findings that children are still less effected by SARS-CoV-2 infection with the spread of the Alpha variant. We found no evidence that children infected with the Alpha variant showed more severe symptoms or suffered from a more severe clinical course than those infected with the wild type.

The objective: depression of frequency of perinatal pathology at various pathology of placentation (retrochorial hematomas and anomalies of locating of placenta) on the basis of improvement and introduction of algorithm of diagnostic, treatment-and-prophylactic and prognostic actions. Patients and methods. Researches were conducted in two stages - on 1 us at first the retrospective analysis of clinical course of pregnancy and labors at 100 women (retrospective group) with a retrochorial hematoma is carried out, and then 150 pregnant women who were divided into three subgroups prospective are surveyed. At the 2 stage 250 women entered research – 2 group, from which 200 – with misplaced of placenta and 50 – with normal. Results. Use of the algorithm of maintaining women improved by us with retrochorial hematomas allows to reduce the frequency of early genesial losses (from 25.0% to 10.0%), to improve perinatal results (lack of cases of perinatal losses in the prospective researches and 40,0‰ in retrospective, to reduce perinatal case rate (from 30.0% to 15.6%), and also promotes pregnancy prolongation. At women with misplaced of placenta allows to reduce the frequency of placental dysfunction from 42.0% to 28.0%; fetus arrests of development – from 30.0% to 18,0%; premature births – from 18.0% to 8.0%; perinatal mortality – from 30.0‰ to 10.0‰ and a post-natal case rate – from 28.0% to 16.0%. Conclusion. Results of the conducted researches testify that prophylaxis of perinatal pathology at women with various options of pathology of placentation to which we referred existence of retrochorial hematomas and placenta misplaced, has to have complex stage-by-stage character taking into account results of clinical and additional methods of researches, and also on the basis of introduction improved by us to algorithm. Key words: retrochorial hematoma, placenta misplaced, perinatal pathology, prophylaxis.

INTRODUCTION. Scabies is a parasitic skin disease caused by Sarcoptes scabiei. About 200 million casesworldwide each year in people of all ages are reported. AIM OF STUDY. Retrospective analysis of records of patients hospitalized at the Department with scabies. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Six-year retrospective analysis of medical records of patients hospitalized with scabies at the Department of Dermatology. Gender, age of patients, comorbidities, clinical course of the disease and treatment were considered. RESULTS. In this period 193 patients were hospitalized with scabies, 96 females (49.7%) and 97 males (50.3%), including 33 children (17%). Mean age of patients was 52.9. Skin lesions persisted 142 days in average; reoccurrence was noted in 14% of cases. Lesions were observed most often in winter (31%). The most common manifestations were erosions (80.8%), excoriations (73.6%), papules (72.6%) and crusts (24.3%), localized mainly on trunk (92%), lower (91%) and upper (86%) limbs. 181 patients (93.8%) reported pruritus which intensified at night in 35.8%. Previous contact with people with scabies reported 41 patients (21%). The most common comorbidity was hypertension, diabetes mellitus and coronary heart disease. Accompanying dermatoses were eczema, secondary superinfection and psoriasis. 85 patients (44%) were overweight or obese. Patients received mostly topical permethrin (57%), crotamiton (29%), glicocorticosteroids (73%) and antibiotics (11%), also oral antihistamines (91%). CONCLUSIONS. Analysis revealed more frequent occurrence in adults with no evident sex prevalence. Greater incidence in winter may be caused by people’s tendency to spend more time indoors closer to each other at this time of year. Pruritus, the most common subjective symptom, typically worsens at night.

The objective: depression of frequency of perinatal pathology at women with decompensation form of placental dysfunction by improvement of the main diagnostic and treatment-and-prophylactic actions. Patients and methods. 154 pregnant women in gestation term from 22 to 40 weeks were surveyed. Depending on features of course of pregnancy and families of all surveyed it was divided into 4 groups. The group of the retrospective analysis was made by 45 pregnant women with decompensation placental dysfuction, the group of prospective research included 109 pregnant women of whom the main group was made by 38 women with decompensation form of placental dysfunction, the group of comparison included 47 pregnant women with the compensated form of placental dysfunction. The control group was made by 24 pregnant women with the uncomplicated course of pregnancy and labors. The complex of the conducted researches included clinical, ehografical, dopplerometrical, laboratory, morphological and statistical methods. Results. Use of advanced algorithm of diagnostic and treatment-and-prophylactic actions allows to increase efficiency of diagnostics of decompensation form of placental dysfunction for 33.3%, and rational tactics of a delivery leads to depression of perinatal pathology for 22.7%. Conclusion. Decompensation placental dysfuction is one of the main reasons for perinatal mortality and a case rate at the present stage. Use of the algorithm of diagnostic and treatment-and-prophylactic actions improved by us allows major factors of risk of this complication and the indication for change of tactics and delivery times. Key words: decompensation placental dysfunction, diagnostics, delivery tactics.

Abstract Background and study aims Previous reports have suggested that endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in pediatric patients are safe. However, the total number of cases presented in the literature remains small. We present results regarding safety and outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing ERCP at Oslo University Hospital. Patients and methods Patients < 18 years who underwent ERCP between April 1999 and November 2017 were identified using procedure codes. Medical records were examined for age, gender, diagnosis, indications, type of sedation, findings, interventions, and complications. Results A total of 244 procedures were performed in 158 patients. Fifty-six of these were in 53 infants (age ≤ 1 year). Mean age was 8.8 years. The youngest patient was 8 days old. Mean weight was 5.0 kg in infants, the smallest weighing 2.9 kg. Cannulation failed in 19 (7.8 %). The main indication in infants was suspicion of biliary atresia (n = 38). Six of the procedures (10.7 %) were therapeutic. In children the main indications were biliary stricture (n = 64) and investigation of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) (n = 45). 119 (63.2 %) of these procedures were therapeutic.Complications were uncommon in infants; only two episodes of infection were registered. In children (> 1 year) post-ERCP pancreatitis were seen in 10.4 %. Conclusions Our retrospective series of ERCP procedures includes 56 procedures in infants, which is one of the largest series presented. Complications in infants are rare and post-ERCP pancreatitis was not seen. In older children 10.4 % experienced post-ERCP pancreatitis. In expert hands, ERCP was shown to be acceptably feasible and safe in infants and children.

Purpose: To determine associations between physical activity (PA) and sport participation on HbA1c levels in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Method: Pediatric patients with T1D were invited to complete a PA and sport participation survey. Data were linked to their medical records for demographic characteristics, diabetes treatment and monitoring plans, and HbA1c levels. Results: Participants consisted of 71 females and 81 males, were 13 ± 3 years old with an average HbA1c level of 8.75 ± 1.81. Children accumulating 60 min of activity 3 days or more a week had significantly lower HbA1c compared to those who accumulated less than 3 days (p < 0.01) of 60 min of activity. However, there was no significant difference in HbA1c values based on sport participation groups. A multiple linear regression model indicated that PA, race, age, duration of diagnosis, and CGM use all significantly predicted HbA1c (p < 0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrated the significant relationship between daily PA and HbA1c. Those in this sample presented with lower HbA1c values even if accumulating less than the recommended number of days of activity. Further, it was shown that sport participation alone may not be adequate enough to impact HbA1c in a similar manner.
