Pathologies of peritoneo-vaginal canal in pediatric surgery at the teaching hospital Gabriel Touré
The closure anomalies of the peritoneal-vaginal canal embrace a number of scientific entities, that are at the origin of varied symptomatology.
OBJECTIVE
To examine the anatomo-clinical and therapeutic points of pathologies of the peritoneal-vaginal canal.
METHODS
This was a potential examine from January 1st to December 31st, 2015 carried out in the pediatric surgery division of University Hospital Gabriel Touré. It coated all kids aged 0-15 years previous with a pathology of the peritoneal-vaginal canal working in the division throughout the examine interval. This examine didn’t embrace circumstances that weren’t operated on or not seen throughout the examine interval.
RESULTS
During the examine interval, 2,699 kids had been handled in pediatric surgery, of which 150 circumstances of pathology of the peritoneal-vaginal canal had a hospital frequency of 5.5%. The common age was 3.25 ± 9.63 years. The intercourse ratio was 14. The cause for session was intermittent or everlasting inguinal or inguino-scrotal swelling in all kids.
The pathology was found by the dad and mom throughout the pushing efforts in 46.7%. Inguino-scrotal swelling was discovered on bodily examination in 40% of circumstances. The proper facet was reached in 60% of the circumstances. Hernia accounted for 80.6% of these pathologies. We recorded 31 circumstances of strangulation and 11 circumstances of craze. Immediate operative follow-up was easy in 92% of sufferers. This charge was 96% after 6 months.
CONCLUSIONS
Pathologies of the peritoneal-vaginal canal are quite common in pediatric surgical apply. The first place of these pathologies is occupied by hernia. They preferentially have an effect on male infants.
Atrophy, metabolism and cognition in the posterior cortical atrophy spectrum primarily based on Alzheimer’s illness cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers
BACKGROUND
In vivo scientific, anatomical and metabolic variations between posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) sufferers presenting with totally different Alzheimer’s illness (AD) cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers profiles are nonetheless unknown.METHODSTwenty-seven PCA sufferers underwent CSF examination and had been categorized as 1) PCA with a typical CSF AD profile (PCA-tAD;
irregular amyloid and T-tau/P-tau biomarkers, n = 13); 2) PCA with an atypical AD CSF profile (PCA-aAD; irregular amyloid biomarker solely, n = 9); and three) PCA not related to AD (PCA-nonAD; regular biomarkers, n = 5). All sufferers underwent scientific and cognitive evaluation, structural MRI, and a subset of them underwent mind 18F-FDG PET.
RESULTS
All sufferers’ teams confirmed a typical sample of posterior GM atrophy and hypometabolism typical of PCA, in addition to equal demographics and scientific/cognitive profiles. PCA-tAD sufferers confirmed a group-specific sample of hypometabolism in the left fusiform gyrus and inferior temporal gyrus. PCA-aAD didn’t current a group-specific atrophy sample. Finally, group-specific grey matter atrophy in the proper dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, left caudate nucleus and proper medial temporal areas and hypometabolism in the proper supplementary motor space and paracentral lobule had been noticed in PCA-nonAD sufferers.
CONCLUSION
SOur findings recommend that each PCA-tAD and PCA-aAD sufferers are on the AD continuum, in settlement with the not too long ago advised A/T/N mannequin. Furthermore, in PCA, the underlying pathology has an impression at least on the anatomo-functional presentation. Brain harm noticed in PCA-tAD and PCA-aAD was largely in keeping with the well-described presentation of the illness, though it was extra widespread in PCA-tAD group, particularly in the left temporal lobe.
Additional fronto-temporal (particularly dorsolateral prefrontal) harm appears to be a clue to underlying non-AD pathology in PCA, which warrants the want for longitudinal follow-ups to analyze frontal signs in these sufferers.
