Breast milk has been the principal roles of feeding infants all over the world. Fatty acid in breast milk is a very important source of energy and a-lactalbumin is a specipic protein that is necessary for optimal growth and development of infants.

Continuous-Wave doppler echocardiography was used to estimate the Pressure gradient in 55 children with congenital heart disease. To test whether the Doppler method would be useful for evaluation and management of pediatric patients with ventricular septal defect (VSD)), pulmonic stenosis (PS), tricuspid regurgitation (TR), we recorded the maximal velocity (Vmax) of transseptal, pulmonary and regurgitant tricuspid jet flows and calculated the pressure gradients used by... |
This study was performed in 106 childrens with urinary tract infection who were admitted to Pediatric Department of Fatima Hospital during 2 1/2 years period from January 1986 to June 1988. Each patient was evaluated in three imaging procedures: intravenous pyelography (IVP), voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) and ultrasonography (USG). 1) Of 106 cases, 59 cases (55.7%) were normal on the three imaging procedures (IVP, VCUG, USG), whereas... |

But the elder sister (6 year old girl) had no specific symptoms nor signs. The identification of the disease was proved by cyanide nitroprusside test and amino acid analysis of urine. In our patients the chromatographic amino acid patterns of urine showed... |
Clinical pictures of 2 cases with I-cell disease patients, 8 and 11 months old female, were analyzed. Characteristic coarse facial features, gum hypertrophy, retarded growth and dysostosis multiplex were observed in both cases. Under phase contrast microscopic examination, cultured fibroblasts of skin of case I patient had their cytoplasm filled with numerous dark granules leaving only a juxtanuclear crescent free of inclusions.

The Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (exomphalos-macroglossia-gigantism: E M G Syndrome) is characterized by the presence of a wide variety of anomalies such as omphalocele, muscular macroglossia, gigantism, neonatal hypoglycemia, cytomegaly of the adrenal fetal cortex, hyperplasia of gonadal interstitial cells, and hyperplastic visceromegaly, particularly of pancreas and kidneys. Other abnormalities may include hemihypertrophy, microcephaly and mental retardation, prominent occiput, facial flame nevus, neonatal polycythemia, and linear indentations... |
We experienced on case of Backwith-Wiedemann syndrome. This female neonate manifested omphalocele, gigantism, facial nevus flammeus, Macroglossia, and ear lobe grooves. A brief review of related literature was done. |
Goldenhar’s syndrome is a syndrome consisting of (1) epibulbar dermoids and/or lipodermoids (2) preauricular skin tags and blind-ended fistulas and (3) vertebral anomalies. Two cases of Goldenhar’s syndrome which showed asymmetric facies, epibubar dermoids, preaur- icular skin tags blind-ended fistulas in 7 month-old girl and 2 month-old boy were reported. In one of our cases cleft of vertebrae, hypoplasia of left lung and cyanotic... |
We experienced a case of endobronchial tuberculosis accompanied by an embedded lymph node in a 1 3/12-year old male who was admitted to the Department of Pediatrics, Yonsei University College of Medicine. On bronchogram, a punched out defect was noted at the site of the right main bronchus from where the right upper lobe bronchus and right intermediate bronchus branched. Although bronchoscopy was performed three... |
Lipoid pneumonia is a chronic, interstitial, proliferative inflammation resulting from aspiration of lipoid material; it occurs principally in debilitated infants. Animal oils, owing to their high fatty acid content, are the most damaging. There are no characteristic signs or symptoms; cough is most common and in severe cases there may be dyspnea. We have experenced one case of lipoid pneumonia cause by an aspiration of... |
A 9-vear-old girl presented with recurrent abdominal pain. Investigations failed to show any of the demonstrable causes of pancreatitis, but she was found to have pancreatic calcifications with the help of the plain abdominal x-ray, abdominal ultrasound and abdominal C—T scan. Pancreatic calcifications are virtually pathognomonic of chronic pancreatitis. We report this case and review related literatures briefly. |
