Ogniskowy rozrost guzkowy wątroby – opis przypadków oraz przegląd literatury
We presented two different cases of focal nodular hyperplasia in children. The first child underwent chemotherapy and bone marrow allotransplantation due to non-Hodgkin lymphoma and focal nodular hyperplasia was diagnosed incidentally a few years later. In the second child, a diagnosis of focal nodular hyperplasia was established in the course of differential diagnosis of abdominal pain. Focal nodular hyperplasia might be difficult to diagnose on the basis of imaging procedures and sometimes liver biopsy is required. (Source: Pediatria Polska)

Genetyczne i autoimmunologiczne mikroangiopatie zakrzepowe u dzieci – współczesna strategia diagnostyki i leczenia
Publication date: Available online 22 March 2016 Source:Pediatria Polska Author(s): Ryszard Grenda Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs) in children are very complex family of acquired and hereditary defects of complement and coagulation systems with severe clinical pattern and potentially poor outcome, especially in case of genetic forms of these diseases. The substantial progress in genetic diagnostics of underlying mutations and evaluation of the relevant clinical patterns has been achieved recently. Two major types of TMAs are distinguished: thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and atypical hemolytic-uremic sy...

CFSPID – czyli pozytywny wynik przesiewu noworodkowego w kierunku mukowiscydozy, ale niejednoznaczna diagnoza
Publication date: Available online 19 March 2016 Source:Pediatria Polska Author(s): Dorota Sands, Ewa Tramś, Katarzyna Zybert Chloride channel dysfunction caused by pathogenic mutations in the CFTR gene leads to clinical symptoms of cystic fibrosis. With the development of techniques of molecular diagnostics, the number of discovered mutations has increased. Not every change in the CFTR gene causes clinical symptoms. The course of disease is variable, and it may also present in adulthood. The introduction of neonatal screening has led to creation of a new group of potential patients – children without symptoma...

Witamina K i jej rola w profilaktyce chorób dzieci w świetle nowych doniesień
Publication date: Available online 19 March 2016 Source:Pediatria Polska Author(s): Agnieszka Kozioł-Kozakowska, Anna Stochel-Gaudyn, Krzysztof Fyderek For many years vitamin K has been considered to be associated only with blood clotting processes. Thanks to the research of last thirty years its other equally important role has been discovered. Vitamin K acts as a cofactor for the posttranslatioinal γ-carboxylation of glutamate residues in proteins such as osteocalcin or matrix Gla protein (MGP). Thus the diet reach in vitamin K or supplementation of this vitamin on early stages of development may decrease ris...

Porównanie dwóch technik intubacji dziecka w warunkach symulowanego uszkodzenia kręgosłupa szyjnego. Badanie randomizowane, krzyżowe
Conclusions In this simulation trial, during pediatric normal airway scenario, paramedics performed intubation with comparable efficiency using a standard Macintosh laryngoscope and videolaryngoscope Intubrite. However, in the case of a trauma patient with immobilization of the cervical spine cervical intubation higher efficiency was obtained for videolaryngoscope Intubrite. Further clinical trials are needed to confirm these results. (Source: Pediatria Polska)

80-lecie fenyloketonurii. Część I: historia nazwy i nietuzinkowi pionierzy badań nad chorobą
Publication date: Available online 14 March 2016 Source:Pediatria Polska Author(s): Kamil K. Hozyasz Phenylketonuria is one of the best-known examples of inherited metabolic diseases. It is widely considered as a triumph of western medicine. Untreated phenylketonuria manifests as mental retardation, epilepsy, light complexion, eczema, and a „mousy” odour. This review gives some insight into history of the use of the disease's name, which was probably coined by the biochemist J.H. Quastel and focuses on the contributions of the first medical investigators in the area of abnormal phenylalanine metabolism – I.A. F...

Współczesne poglądy na patogenezę idiopatycznego zespołu nerczycowego u dzieci w odniesieniu do potencjalnych nowych możliwości terapeutycznych
Publication date: Available online 4 March 2016 Source:Pediatria Polska Author(s): Ryszard Grenda Nephrotic syndrome in children is represented by the complex family of disease variants, with variable clinical course and different underlying mechanisms. Those which are not related to genetic mutations (responsible for abnormal microstructure of podocytes) are currently regarded as the effect of different “protein permeability factors”, which after binding to specific targets (receptors) on podocytes, change their shape and function, causing clinically overt proteinuria. Different relevant cytokines are released b...
