Functional abdominal pain disorders and patient- and parent- reported outcomes in children with inflammatory bowel disease in remission

BACKGROUND: Chronic abdominal pain occurs frequently in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in remission. AIMS: To assess the prevalence and factors associated with Functional Abdominal Pain Disorders among IBD children in remission (IBD-FAPD). METHODS: Patients with IBD for > 1 year, in clinical remission for ≥ 3 months were recruited from a National IBD network. IBD-FAPDs were assessed using the Rome III questionnaire criteria. Patient- or parent- reported outcomes were assessed. RESULTS: Among 102 included patients, 57 (56%) were boys, mean age (DS) was 15.0 (± 2.0) years and 75 (74%) had Crohn's disease. Twenty-two patients (22%) had at least one Functional Gastrointestinal Disorder among which 17 had at least one IBD-FAPD. Past severity of disease or treatments received and level of remission were not significantly associated with IBD-FAPD. Patients with IBD-FAPD reported more fatigue (peds-FACIT-F: 35.9 ± 9.8 vs. 43.0 ± 6.9, p = 0.01) and a lower HR-QoL (IMPACT III: 76.5 ± 9.6 vs. 81.6 ± 9.2, p = 0.04) than patients without FAPD, and their parents had higher levels of State and Trait anxiety than the other parents. CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence of IBD-FAPD was 17%. IBD-FAPD was not associated with past severity of disease, but with fatigue and lower HR-QoL

Trauma of the fatty tissue.

Contusions of soft tissues are frequently encountered but the more often without any major consequence. However, trauma of the fat may induce complications ranging from mere lymphatic effusion to the apparition of pseudo lipoma or even, exceptionally, of fat embolism. Although rare, one must be aware of these complications as they appear sometimes long after the trauma.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Carpal tunnel syndrome due to an haemangioma of the median nerve in a 12-year-old child

A case of carpal tunnel syndrome due to an haemangioma of the median nerve in a 12-year-old male is reported. Radiological and histological data support a venous origin of the tumour. Interfascicular dissection and resection were performed, and 6 months later the patient remains symptoms free. © 1991 Société d'Édition de l'Association d'Enseignement Médical des Hôpitaux de Paris.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Le syndrome du canal carpien. Études comparatives pré- et postopératoires entre résonance magnétique et électromyographie

A comparative wrist study was conducted in a total of 36 subjects: 20 normal volunteers and 16 patients with diagnosed carpal tunnel syndrome. 1,5 Tesla MR was used with a cylindrical extremity coll. The authors reviewed the anatomy of the wrist in the normal subjects. The accuracy of MR diagnostic criteria for carpal tunnel syndrome was assessed in comparison with EMG results and surgical findings. The authors conclude that MRI has proved to be reliable and useful in the diagnostic work up of carpal tunnel syndrome. Its main indication would be in cases of negative or doubtful EMG.SCOPUS: ar.jSCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

TRAITEMENT DES FENTES LABIO-PALATINES: RESULTATS A LONG TERME

Since 1958, 900 children with cleft lip and palate were operated on at the University Hospital Brugmann in Brussels. Until 1981, the children were operated at 6 months for the lip and at 18 months for the palate with two flap palatoplasties. Since 1982, R. Malek's technique and sequence were adopted. The results after 5 years follow-up are analyzed between two groups of 50 and 49 children operated with the two techniques. Growth of the maxillary arch and phonation are well improved in the second group, but no improvement was observed in terms of hearing.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
