Aim: The primary treatment for the subset of infantile hemangiomas (IHs) which develops complication is pharmacological intervention, and propranolol has become a popular choice. Here, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of propranolol in a clinical cohort of IHs and analyzed clinical characteristics associated with a good outcome. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed a total of 52 IHs patients, between ages 1 and 48 months (median age: 7.5 months), who were treated with oral propranolol, with dose ranging from 2 to 3 mg/kg/day. Efficacy was evaluated using mean percentage reduction, visual analog scale (VAS), and parental satisfaction levels at week 2 and months 1, 2, 6, and 12. The adverse effects were noted and responses after 6 months were graded. Statistical analyses of the outcome were also performed for the responses with regard to age at propranolol initiation, site of lesion, and mean duration of treatment. Results: A therapeutic response with at least 50% mean percentage reduction in size was noted in 84.6% at the end of 6 months. VAS score and parental satisfaction levels correlated well with mean percentage reduction (63.7 ± 15.6) at 6 months. Patients aged

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has rapidly spread to most countries around the world. Disproportionate spread of COVID-19 among the Indian community in Kuwait prompted heightened surveillance in this community.To study the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 patients and their contacts among the Indian community in Kuwait.Data collection was done as a part of contact tracing efforts undertaken by the Kuwaiti Ministry of Health.We analysed contact-tracing data for the initial 1348 laboratory-confirmed Indian patients and 6357 contacts (5681 close and 676 casual). The mean (standard deviation) age of the patients was 39.43 (10.5) years and 76.5% of the cases were asymptomatic or had only mild symptoms. Asymptomatic patients were significantly older [40.05 (10.42) years] than patients with severe symptoms [37.54 (10.54) years] (P = 0.024). About 70% of the patients were living in shared accommodation. Most of the close contacts were living in the same household, as compared with casual contacts, who were primarily workplace contacts (P0.001). Among the different occupations, healthcare workers had the highest proportion of cases (18.4%). Among the 216 pairs of cases with a clear relationship between the index and secondary cases, the mean serial interval was estimated to be 3.89 (3.69) days, with a median of 3 and interquartile range of 1-5 days.An early increase in the number of COVID-19 cases among the Indian community could be primarily attributed to crowded living conditions and the high proportion of healthcare workers in this community.الخصائص الوبائية لحالات الإصابة بمرض كوفيد-19 بين الهنود المقيمين في دولة الكويت.جاجان باسكارادوس، عائشة السميط، شاهر مالك، جيتندرا أريجا، أمريتا جيفارجيز، روي فرانسيس، آجاي فازيودان، راجيش ألكسندر، برامود مينون، سحر بهزادي، فاطمة الوهيب، فهد الغملاس، محمد الصيادين، بثينة المظف.انتشرت جائحة مرض فيروس كورونا 2019 (كوفيد-19) بسرعة في معظم بلدان العالم. وأدى الانتشار المفرط لمرض كوفيد-19 بين الجالية الهندية في الكويت إلى زيادة الترصد في هذا المجتمع.هدف هذا البحث الى دراسة الخصائص الوبائية لدى مرضى كوفيد-19 ومُالِطيهم في الجالية الهندية بالكويت.جُِعَت البيانات في إطار جهود تتبُّع المُخالِطين التي قامت بها وزارة الصحة الكويتية.حلَّلنا بيانات تتبُّع المُخالِطين لعدد أولي شمل 1348 مريضًا هنديًا مؤكَّدة إصابتهم مختبريًا و 6357 من المُخالِطين (5681 من المُخالِطين مخالطة مقربة و 676 من المُخالِطين مخالطة عارضة). وبلغ متوسط عمر المرضى (الانحراف المعياري) 39.43 (10.5) عامًا، وكان 76.5٪ من الحالات عديمة الأعراض أو لديهم أعراض خفيفة فقط. وكان المرضى عديمو الأعراض أكبر سنًا بكثير [40.05 (10.42) عامًا] من المرضى الذين يعانون من أعراض وخيمة [37.54 (10.54) عامًا] (الاحتمالية = 0.024). وكان نحو 70٪ من المرضى يعيشون في أماكن إقامة مشتركة. وكان معظم المُخالِطين المقربين يعيشون في المنزل نفسه، مقارنة بالمُخالِطين الذين كانوا على اتصال عارض بالمرضى في محل العمل في المقام الأول (الاحتمالية0.001). ومن بين المهن المختلفة، كانت أعلى نسبة للحالات بين العاملين في مجال الرعاية الصحية (18.4٪). ومن بين 216 زوجًا من الحالات ذات العلاقة الواضحة بين الحالات المرجعية والثانوية، قُدِّر متوسط الفاصل المتسلسل بما يبلغ 3.89 (3.69) يومًا، بمتوسط 3 أيام والمدى الربيعي 1–5 أيام.يمكن أن تعزى الزيادة المبكرة في عدد حالات الإصابة بمرض كوفيد-19 بين الجالية الهندية في المقام الأول إلى الظروف المعيشية المزدحمة والنسبة المرتفعة للعاملين في مجال الرعاية الصحية في هذه الجالية.Caractéristiques épidémiologiques des cas de COVID-19 chez les Indiens résidant au Koweït.La pandémie de maladie à coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) s’est rapidement propagée vers la plupart des pays du monde. La propagation disproportionnée de la COVID-19 au sein de la communauté indienne du Koweït a incité à une surveillance accrue de cette communauté.Étudier les caractéristiques épidémiologiques des patients atteints de COVID-19 et de leurs contacts au sein de la communauté indienne du Koweït.La collecte des données a été effectuée dans le cadre des efforts de traçage des contacts menés par le ministère de la Santé koweïtien.Nous avons analysé les données relatives à la recherche des contacts pour les 1348 patients indiens initiaux confirmés en laboratoire et les 6357 contacts (5681 contacts rapprochés et 676 occasionnels). L'âge moyen (écart type) des patients était de 39,43 ans (10,5) et 76,5 % des cas étaient asymptomatiques ou ne présentaient que des symptômes légers. Les patients asymptomatiques étaient significativement plus âgés [40,05 ans (10,42)] que les patients présentant des symptômes graves [37,54 ans (10,54)] p = 0,024). Environ 70 % des patients résidaient dans un logement partagé. La plupart des contacts rapprochés vivaient dans le même foyer, alors que les contacts occasionnels étaient principalement des contacts sur le lieu de travail (p0,001). Parmi les différentes professions, les agents de santé présentaient la plus forte proportion de cas (18,4 %). Sur les 216 paires de cas présentant une relation claire entre le cas index et le cas secondaire, l'intervalle sériel moyen a été estimé à 3,89 jours (3,69), avec un intervalle médian de 3 et un intervalle interquartile de 1 à 5 jours.Une augmentation précoce du nombre de cas de COVID-19 au sein de la communauté indienne pourrait être principalement attribuée aux conditions de surpeuplement des logements et à la forte proportion d’agents de santé dans cette communauté.

Transanastomotic feeding tube (TAFT) is commonly used for post-operative enteral nutrition after esophageal atresia (EA)/tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) repairs. The purpose of this study is to analyze the therapeutic implications of avoiding a TAFT and its impact on the outcomes post-operatively. The medical data of 33 inpatients with EA/TEF type C repair from 2009 to 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups for comparison based on the usage of TAFT during the repair: TAFT- (without) and TAFT+ (with) groups, without randomization. Both groups were compared statistically for post-operative complications and outcomes. Eighteen neonates were males and 15 females, with an average birth weight of 2.43±0.43 kg and a mean gestational age of 36.15 weeks. Nineteen (57.5%) in the TAFT- group and 14 (42.4%) were in the TAFT+ group. The post-operative complications, need for dilatations, duration of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and length of hospital stay were similar in both groups. The incidence of pneumonitis was significantly higher in the TAFT+ group. By avoiding a TAFT, there is no increase in complication rates nor does it entail a prolonged period of TPN. Besides, not using a TAFT may have the advantage of reducing incidence of aspiration and consequent pneumonitis.
