Cirurgia de Reparação Mitral em Crianças com Valvulopatia Adquirida
Fragata, J; Coelho, PP; Banazol, N; Nogueira, G; Trigo, CBACKGROUND: Valve surgery in children is aimed at restoring correct hemodynamics with few reoperations and limited resort to prostheses, which would imply early deterioration or definitive hypocoagulation. OBJECTIVES: Report a series of paediatric pts with acquired mitral valve disease, mostly due to rheumatic disease, in whom it was possible, for the great majority, to repair the damaged valve. DEMOGRAPHICS: F...
Bladder malfunction, urinary tract infection and vesicoureteral reflux in child...
Castro, I; Soares, E; Casimiro, A; Nogueira, GA correlation between urinary tract infection, vesicoureteral reflux and voiding disorders has increasingly been reported. Voiding dysfunction increases the incidence of recurrent urinary tract infection, induces and perpetuates vesicoureteral reflux, even after surgical antireflux treatment, and may result in permanent renal damage. The resolution of the primary cause with voiding normalization is essential to...
