We present three female patients with infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) with the portal vein. Angio CT scan reconstructions and a correlation between tomographic and echocardiographic findings were conducted. Multi-slice angio CT scan has been a valuable tool for the study of vessels in children with congenital heart disease. It is performed rapidly...
Background: Dystrophic calcinosis is associated with juvenile dermatomyositis and systemic sclerosis. Clinical diagnosis is performed through the detection of subcutaneous, hard nodules. Conventional radiographic studies may demonstrate calcium deposits, however, with very early lesions X-rays may prove insufficient. There are a few studies where scintilliography has been used to...
Background: Bedwetting is an involuntary urination during sleep at the age of 5 years or older. Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) have been developed to improve decision-making strategies and standardize medical practice. The Ministry of health in Mexico developed the CPG diagnosis and treatment of non-organic enuresis at the first level of prevention in children. Its evidence...
Pediatric prenatal consultation is not common in México, although it has benefits for physician, family and the future infant. It allows the beginning of a physician-family relationship to obtain medical information and identify possible risks in mother and infant newborn; it gives parents information on medical care in the delivery room and anticipates actions with parental...
Cell division by mitosis is essential for the development of organisms and their reproduction; it is also necessary that each new cell is genetically identical to that from which it comes. In eukaryotes this is achieved by the presence of complex mechanisms that ensure the integrity of genomic material and their proper segregation during mitosis. The traditional view of mitosis...
Caso de sesión anatomo-clínica Enfermedad injerto contra huésped en un paciente con leucemia granulocítica crónica con trasplante de células progenitoras hematopoyéticas Graft versus host disease in a patient with chronic granulocytic leukemia who received an hematopoietic progenitor cell transplant Marta Zapata-Tarrés,1 Eduardo López-Corella,2 Martín Pérez-García,3 Roberto...
Background: The adrenal cortex tumors (ACT) are extremely rare in children and adolescents. Only 0.2% of all the new cases of cancer in the USA and Europe are ACT. The international incidence is not well defined, since it differs demographically. Due to the rarity of ACT, little is known about their natural history. Case report: 11 months old female patient who developed, at the...
Objective: To describe the course of type B Niemann-Pick disease (ENP-B) by following the evolution of three pediatric patients. Methods: Three patients, two of them male, age between two and eleven years, with type B Niemann-Pick disease were evaluated periodically by physic exam and laboratory: hematologic indices, lipid profile, hepatic function tests; Radiologic studies...
