Ataş E, Koç O, Artık HA. Clinical features and treatment results in children with hemangioma. Turk J Pediatr 2017; 59: 254-260. Hemangioma is a frequent disease which has a proliferative and involution phase. In this single center retrospective study, we evaluated clinical and therapeutic features of hemangiomas in children (n: 49). The median (range) age at onset and at admission were 21 days (10 days-156 months) and 7 months (0.25-192 months), respectively. The localization of lesions was: head region (n: 28; 57.2%), trunk (n: 8; 16.3%) trunk, limb (n: 8; 16.3%), and neck region (n: 5; 10.2%) neck region. Seventeen patients (34.7%) were treated. Following treatments were used: propranolol alone in 12 (24.5%) patients, steroid alone in 2 (4.1%) patients, prednisone plus propranolol in 2 (4.1%) patients, and propranolol plus surgery in 1 (2.0%) patient. The number of hemangioma (n > 1) (p = 0.026, OR = 9.5, 95% CI 1.3-69.2) and treatment other than observation (p = 0.008, OR = 10.5, 95% CI 1.8-59.1) were significant predictors in the univariate analysis; treatment other than observation was an independent predictor for clinical response (p = 0.014, OR = 9.8, 95% CI 1.5-90.9).

Toxidromes: Clinical Features

Toxidromes are specific patterns of symptoms resulting from toxic substance exposure. They help in the identification and treatment of poisoning. The symptoms of each toxidrome group indicate poisoning by a certain class of chemicals or drugs.1. Sympathomimetic: Stimulates the sympathetic nervous system. Symptoms include agitation, increased heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), respiratory rate (RR), temperature, and pupil size. Drugs like cocaine and amphetamines, along with tremors and...

COPD: Pathogenesis and Clinical Features

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a group of lung conditions that progressively worsen over time, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. This cluster of diseases collectively leads to a gradual and irreversible decline in lung function over time.
The primary cause for the onset of COPD is cigarette smoking and exposure to air pollution. These hazardous factors initiate a chain reaction within the lungs, resulting in chronic inflammation, damage to the airways, and a...

Pericarditis II: Clinical Features and Diagnostic Tests

Pericarditis is distinguished by inflammation of the pericardium, the fibrous sac that encases the heart. It can be acute, lasting less than six weeks, or chronic, persisting for over three months. Understanding its clinical manifestations and diagnostic findings is crucial for timely and effective management.Clinical ManifestationsWhile pericarditis can be asymptomatic, it usually presents with characteristic symptoms such as:Chest Pain: The most characteristic symptom of pericarditis is chest...
