... [ 37 ]. At the low blood flow rates used in paediatric patients, which raise concerns about high ultrafiltration during postdilution CVVH causing excessive haemoconcentration and filter clotting, CVVHD, which can theoretically increase the amount of dialysate regardless of blood flow rate, appears...

... Abstract Little is currently known about the efficacy of long-term follow-up during and after the transition from paediatric to adult health care services of adolescents and young adults with thyroid diseases, and/or for patients at risk of developing nodules and/or dysthyroidism due...

... for approximately 75% of paediatric and 25% of adult lymphadenopathies; therefore, the clinical relevance of LNe in children is different compared to adults [ 3 ].

... Abstract Postoperative glaucoma is perhaps the most feared complication after paediatric cataract surgery, as it is difficult to control. Paediatric glaucoma is also challenging to diagnose, and different definitions of glaucoma have led to a rather big range of reported incidences...

... Abstract Purpose: To describe the optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (OCTA) features of paediatric macular pathologies. Methods: Retrospective serial case reports of patients who underwent routine clinical examination and OCTA of the posterior pole using both a DRI OCT...

..., it is important to consider the wide circadian variance in Pi concentrations, with the highest values (often greater than the daytime reference values) achieved near midnight. The higher paediatric Pi concentrations are likely due to an increased need for Pi to mineralise the growing skeleton adequately. Serum Pi...

... in the paediatric population. Drugs Used in the Management of Children with Recurrent Fractures The ISCD 2013 Pediatric Positions [ 1 ] state that the criteria for the diagnosis of paediatric osteoporosis include both low size-corrected bone mineral density (BMD) and the presence of fractures comprising...

The clinical presentation and progression of ITP in children appears different from adults. Although there is likely to be overlap with adult disease...

... precluded them from a conventional transplant procedure. Here, we summarise the current status and future directions of the use of RIC-HCT in paediatric patients. The field of haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) had its firm beginnings in paediatrics with the first successful bone marrow...
