Acute appendicitis is a common surgical disease in children. Standard treatment approach includes surgery and i.v. antibiotics according to local resistance patterns. There are a number of antibiotic regimens currently in use for this disease, however there is no consensus regarding the use of a certain antibiotic protocol. We present our experience with two antibiotic regimens in patients with acute...
The objective of this article is to summarize and analyze the variance of clinical pathway in children with bronchopneumonia and come to a rectification in order to reduce variance cases. The objects are children with bronchopneumonia from April 2010 to April 2011 in our hospital. We made a statistic about the number of variance cases and variance reasons and got the results as below: ® there were...
Alice in wonderland syndrome is associated with migraine, epilepsy, infectious mononucleosis, Epstein-Barre viral infection and psychological disorders. It has rarely been reported in children. We report one case of pediatric migraine with onset as AIWS. A 13 years-old boy who experienced paroxysmal visual illusions for 6 years and headaches for 1 year. The child was previously misdiagnosed as pediatric...
Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common brain tumor in children. There are four distinct subtypes of MB, but patients with anaplastic/large cell have the worst prognosis. Since the morbidity is highly correlated with treatment for MB, the ability to distinguish aggressive (such as anaplastic/large cell) MB is crucial. We present a scheme that leverages quantitative image texture features (Haar, Haralick,...
With the rapid development of economy and technology, people have simply not be satisfied with the level of medical treatment but also began to pay more attention to health care environment gradually. Out-patient department is the first step in treatment of children, and also a crucial component in children's hospital functional block. Therefore, the personalised design of children's medical out-patient...
During a disaster, children may be quickly wrenched from their families. Research shows that children in such circumstances are often unable or unwilling to give their names or other identifying information. Currently in the US, there is no existing system in the public health infrastructure that effectively expedites reunification when children can't be identified. Working with the Children's Hospital...
This paper aims to investigate how robotic devices can be used to understand the mechanism of sensorimotor adaptation in pediatric subjects affected by hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Previous studies showed how healthy adults, after training in presence of a systematic structured disturbing force field, show an “after effect” and therefore they highly adapt and compensate the external disturbance. An...
In our project, we are developing a system that facilitates the hospitalized children with chronic illness to narrate and share their stories. In this system, children aged K-6th grade can create their own and co-construct narratives with peers and bedside teachers in a multi-user environment. The MNS system incorporates features of synchronous and asynchronous communications that afford various kinds...
Studies conducted in Zagreb reported a short-term relation between air pollutant concentrations and emergency hospital visits due to the aggravation of symptoms of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Air pollution in Zagreb is generally below the limit, and usually within the values recommended by the World Health Organization. Daily variations in the number of emergency room visits...
