Abstract Introduction Crohn’s disease is classified as chronic inflammatory bowel disease. The incidence in Europe ranges from 1 to almost 11.4 per 100,000 population year. Ultrasound examination plays an important role imaging diagnostics of lesions. It allows for assessing response therapy well recognizing possible penetrating complications the disease, i.e. fistula or abscess. Materials and ...

Pneumonia is one of the most common chief complaints for which children seek medical care. Lung ultrasound (LUS) may be a comparable way in detecting extent lung consolidation comparison to current gold standard chest X-rays.

background: rhabdomyosarcoma (rms) is one of the common malignant tumors in infants and children, but it is extremely rare in the kidney. in this paper, we present a case of rms the kidney of a child. case presentation: a 6-month old girl presented with agitation, low fever and abdominal distention which started 5 days ago. on physical examination, the infant had a large and firm soft tissue ma...

OBJECTIVES Investigate the effects of selected factors associated with quantitative ultrasound parameters among Inuit preschoolers living in Arctic communities (56° 32'-72° 40'N). MATERIALS AND METHODS Children were selected randomly in summer and early fall (n=296). Dietary intake was assessed through the administration of a 24-h dietary recall (24-h recall) and a food frequency questionnair...

Objective: To evaluate hepatic vascular flow alterations using Doppler ultrasound in obese children with and without non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.Material Methods: Ninety-one 30 healthy lean (control) were enrolled this study. Obese divided into two groups: disease disease; according to changes on ultrasound, blood serum alanine aminotransferase levels above IU/L. Portal vein diameter, por...

INTRODUCTION Incorrect tongue posture on the mouth floor is considered an important factor in the etiology of unilateral posterior crossbite. The aim of this study was to objectively assess tongue posture in children with unilateral posterior crossbite and those with normal deciduous dentition by using 3-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography. METHODS First, referential 3D ultrasound images for dif...

Early diagnosis of osteomyelitis is of paramount importance to avoid irreversible sequelae. This often requires a multimodal approach. The purpose of the present study was primarily to evaluate how ultrasound might be useful in early diagnosis of osteomyelitis in the paediatric age group. The evolution of ultrasound findings with progression and resolution of disease was also analysed. In this ...

INTRODUCTION Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is currently the gold standard for the assessment of bone mineral density. Quantitative ultrasound (QUS), on the other hand, is a radiation-free alternative for the assessment of bone strength in the paediatric population. Establishing normative data for bone strength specific to the population would allow identification of children at risk o...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Children with Crohn disease are at increased risk for osteopenia and osteoporosis. Early development of osteopenia can increase the lifetime risk for fractures and may be amenable to early intervention. The gold standard for measuring bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk is dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), but this involves some radiation and specialized programs for...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the Amiel-Tison neurological examination (AT) and cranial ultrasound at term for predicting the neurological result at 12 months in newborns with neurological risk. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included 89 newborns with high risk of neurological damage, who were discharged from the Neonatal Intensive Care of the Hospital Zonal Bariloche, Ar...
