Abstract

Background: Although children with special health care needs (CSHCN) represent a minority of the population, they go through more hospitalizations, more admissions to the Emergency Department (ED), and receive a major number of medical prescriptions, in comparison to general pediatric population. Objectives of the study were to determine the reasons for admission to the ED in Italian CSHCN, and to describe the association between patient’s demographic data, clinical history, and health services requirements. Methods: Ad hoc web site was created to collect retrospective data of 3479 visits of CSHCN to the ED in 58 Italian Hospitals. Results: Seventy-two percent of patients admitted to ED were affected by a previously defined medical condition. Most of the ED admissions were children with syndromic conditions (54%). 44.2% of the ED admissions were registered during the night-time and/or at the weekends. The hospitalization rate was of 45.6% among patients admitted to the ED. The most common reason for admission to the ED was the presence of respiratory symptoms (26.6%), followed by gastrointestinal problems (21.3%) and neurological disorders (18.2%). 51.4% of the access were classified as ‘urgent’, with a red/yellow triage code. Considering the type of ED, 61.9% of the visits were conducted at the Pediatric EDs (PedEDs), 33.5% at the Functional EDs (FunEDs) and 4.6% at the Dedicated EDs (DedEDs). Patients with more complex clinical presentation were more likely to be evaluated at the PedEDs. CSHCN underwent to a higher number of medical procedures at the PedEDs, more in comparison to other EDs. Children with medical devices were directed to a PedED quite exclusively when in need for medical attention. Subjects under multiple anti-epileptic drug therapy attended to PedEDs or FunEDs generally. Patients affected by metabolic diseases were more likely to look for medical attention at FunEDs. Syndromic patients mostly required medical attention at the DedEDs. Conclusions

Abstract

Appendix diverticular disease is a casual finding after appendectomies or pathological studies of surgical samples. Most patients are male adults between the fourth and fifth decade of life. 16 years old male consults for a 48 hours stitch pain in right iliac fossa of moderate intensity radiating to lower abdomen with nausea and fever, without vomiting or diarrhea. Presents lower abdominal pain with muscle guarding and pain on physical examination. Bowel sounds negative. Laboratory routine study shows leukocytosis with neutrophilia. A perforated diverticulum of about 15cm diameter is found during surgery in the middle third of the cecum appendix with 200cc purulent fluid in and multiple adhesions to transverse colon, omentum and small intestine. A conventional appendectomy is performed. Acute appendix diverticulitis is a rare entity and its finding is by casualty. It is important to consider it a differential diagnosis especially in the intraoperative treatment which in most cases does not differ from conventional appendectomy.

Abstract

Background: The recent guidelines suggest the use of genome-wide analyses, such as whole exome sequencing (WES), at the beginning of the diagnostic approach for cases with suspected genetic conditions. However, in many realities it still provides for the execution of a multi-step pathway, thus requiring several genetic tests to end the so-called 'diagnostic odyssey'., Methods: We reported the results of GENE Project (Genomic analysis Evaluation NEtwork): a multicentre prospective cohort study on 125 paediatric outpatients with a suspected genetic disease in which we performed first-tier trio-WES, including exome-based copy number variation analysis, in parallel to a 'traditional approach' of two/three sequential genetic tests., Results: First-tier trio-WES detected a conclusive diagnosis in 41.6% of patients, way above what was found with routine genetic testing (25%), with a time-to-result of about 50 days. Notably, the study showed that 44% of WES-reached diagnoses would be missed with the traditional approach. The diagnostic rate (DR) of the two approaches varied in relation to the phenotypic class of referral and to the proportion of cases with a defined diagnostic suspect, proving the major difference for neurodevelopmental disorders. Moreover, trio-WES analysis detected variants in candidate genes of unknown significance (EPHA4, DTNA, SYNCRIP, NCOR1, TFDP1, SPRED3, EDA2R, PHF12, PPP1R12A, WDR91, CDC42BPG, CSNK1D, EIF3H, TMEM63B, RIPPLY3) in 19.4% of undiagnosed cases., Conclusion: Our findings represent real-practice evidence of how first-tier genome-wide sequencing tests significantly improve the DR for paediatric outpatients with a suspected underlying genetic aetiology, thereby allowing a time-saving setting of the correct management, follow-up and family planning., (© 2023 The Authors.

Abstract

Pathogenic variants of HIST1H1Egene have recently been associated with a condition known as Rahman syndrome, characterized by overgrowth, intellectual disability and nonspecific dysmorphic features (high hairline, full cheeks, wide nasal bridge). Wide clinical variability is reported, especially regarding the level of neurodevelopment delay and intellectual disability. We report a 10-year-old girl with macrocephaly and global developmental delay, in whom a novel heterozygous variant in the HIST1H1Egene [c.392_395dup (p.Gly133fs)] was discovered, but involving the same C-terminal domain-protein domain reported previously. Comparing the clinical data of our patient with those previously described, a 'core phenotype' with macrocephaly, psychomotor delay/intellectual disability and mild facial dysmorphisms seems evident.

Abstract

Cornelia de Lange syndrome Spectrum (CdLSp) is characterized by intellectual disability, facial dysmorphisms, and growth impairment. Although eating difficulties are a well-known feature of the disease, there is no data regarding the nutritional deficiencies of these patients. The food intake was tracked using a dietary transcription provided by the family/caregivers, biochemical nutritional parameters were measured with laboratory tests and through an accurate clinical evaluation of the incidence of qualitative and quantitative imbalances in a cohort of 73 patients with CdLSp ware determined. Of these 73, 62 (85%) subjects provided a complete and detailed dietary transcription. In the studied population, a quantitative caloric imbalance in 47/62 (76%) subjects was observed. The caloric intake was low in 27/62 (43%) subjects whereas excessive in 20/62 (33%). Only 15/62 (24%) had an optimum caloric intake. Regarding micronutrients, a calcium intake deficiency in 32% of the patients (20/62) was observed. Blood tests revealed a low iron level in 22/73 (30%) of the patients and 25(OH)D deficiency in 49/73 (67%). Serum hypocalcemia was not evidenced. Qualitative and quantitative imbalances resulted in more frequent than expected in CdLSp patients. A qualitative imbalance was more prevalent in younger patients while in older patients prevailed mainly a quantitative disproportion. We found no statistically meaningful correlation between dietary imbalances, genetic, or clinical parameters. Our findings highlight the need for further studies to evaluate the basal metabolic rate of CdLSp patients and find a correlation with their growth impairment., (© 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC.)

Abstract

Introduction: The doctor-patient relationship is reaching great importance in recent times, is highlighted their importance in areas as varied as satisfaction, compliance, perception of professional competence, the frequency of legal issues relating to malpractice and even the prognosis of the disease or the general health of the patient., Objective: To evaluate the doctor-patient relationship from the point of view of residents of emergency unit., Methods: An observational, descriptive study.
