Preservation of the umbilical cord attachment (UCA) in gastroschisis (GS) is still not routine practice. In a prospective series of 36 children with GS, it was always possible to preserve the UCA, even in those undergoing a temporary silo and delayed closure. Reconstruction by 'umbilical cord
We report on two children presenting at birth with respiratory failure, bilateral diaphragmatic eventration, and floppiness. Electrodiagnostic studies of the limbs, and biochemical and DNA studies excluded generalized neuromuscular diseases. Phrenic nerve electrodiagnostic studies and
The objective of the presented work was a quantitative analysis of causes of ruptures of laparotomic wounds with emphasis on risk factors, and thus a contribution to the prevention of the mentioned complication. Complete rupture of laparotomic wounds such as eventration are encountered most
AH23848 is a potent thromboxane A2-receptor blocker inhibiting platelet aggregation in vitro and in vivo. Oral administration to pregnant rats during days 7-16 of pregnancy, at doses of 0, 10, 45, or 200 mg/kg twice daily, resulted in dose-related maternal, embryonic, and fetal toxicity. The most
A study was undertaken in order to establish the normal range of phrenic nerve latencies in children, to determine whether phrenic nerve stimulation can distinguish diaphragmatic palsy from eventration of the diaphragm, and to determine the effect of neuromuscular disorders on phrenic nerve
OBJECTIVE
The aim of videoparietoscopic surgery is to repair an abdominal wall weakness or defect without affecting the overlying skin, mainly for cosmetic reasons, and especially in young women.
METHODS

Pena-Shokeir syndrome is a rare lethal disorder which clinical phenotype is the result of a deformation sequence caused by fetal akinesia/hypokinesia. In approximately 50 % cases an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance were documented. Main clinical characteristics of Pena-Shokeir syndrome are:
The diaphragm is the primary muscle of ventilation. Dysfunction of the diaphragm is an underappreciated cause of respiratory difficulties and may be due to a wide variety of entities, including surgery, trauma, tumor, and infection. Diaphragmatic disease usually manifests as elevation at chest
