description: Introduction: The role played by caregivers of children with complex chronic diseases may be influenced by sleep disturbances. This situation may affect long-term quality care for children. This study aimed to evaluate the sleep quality of caregivers of children with complex chronic diseases under home mechanical ventilation.

Methods: This analytical observational study was carried out from October 2018 to January 2019. We assessed the caregivers of children/adolescents with complex chronic disease under home mechanical ventilation for three months or more, followed in the pneumology clinic of a tertiary pediatric hospital in Coimbra, Portugal. The evaluation instrument included the Portuguese version of the Pittsburgh sleep quality index.

Results: This study was conducted on 33 caregivers. The mean global score obtained by the sample evaluated using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index was higher than the one attained from the healthy Portuguese population sample (8 vs 1.20). Global scores ≥ 5 were obtained for 72.4% of the study sample, indicating a high risk of sleep disturbance. Caregivers of children / adolescents with respiratory disease attained the worst scores in sleep quality (mean Pittsburgh sleep quality index score = 11), followed by neuromuscular disease and central hypoventilation (mean Pittsburgh sleep quality index score = 8). There was no statistically significant difference between the three diagnostic groups.

Discussion: There was a discrepancy between the subjective sleep quality (good in 64%) and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index score (poor in 72%), with significant percentage of daytime sleepiness/dysfunction (75%). Half of the study sample showed sleep efficiency indices below 85%. It is essential to raise awareness among professionals regarding the importance of evaluating the sleep quality of caregivers of children with complex chronic diseases, since the importance of the matter may be missed by them.

description: Cytomegalovirus infection is one of the most common congenital infections worldwide. Moreover, it seems to be an
important cause of postnatally acquired infection. Perinatal transmission can occur intrapartum (from the birth canal), from a blood transfusion, via maternal breast milk, or from close contact with infected people. The risk of breast milk-acquired
cytomegalovirus infection is higher in countries with a high prevalence of cytomegalovirus immunoglobulin G-positive women.
Usually, acquired cytomegalovirus infection is asymptomatic, especially in term infants. However, preterm infants can present with a sepsis-like syndrome and multiple organ involvement. A high index of suspicion is required to make an early diagnosis.
Therapeutic guidelines for symptomatic postnatal cytomegalovirus infection are not yet available. More studies are required to understand the long-term sequelae of postnatally acquired cytomegalovirus infection and know which is the best strategy to avoid cytomegalovirus post-natal transmission.

description: Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder is an eating disturbance that causes many challenges for both parents and
clinicians. This study describes the cases of two children with early onset of severe feeding problems related to sensory
dysfunction and the need for enteral nutrition. A multimodal intervention was required with the involvement of pediatricians,
gastroenterologists, and child psychiatrists. Some interventions included sensory integration and speech therapies, and
individual and family-oriented psychotherapy. Moreover, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder can develop at a very early
age, with great severity, and may have a huge impact on children and their families. It requires a multidisciplinary, longstanding,
and individually tailored treatment approach.

description: In this work, the Holling-Tanner predator-prey model is analyzed, considering a strong Allee eﬀect on prey and the functional response is a Holling type II. The analysis of the model complements results of previous articles about the Holling-Tanner model with weak Allee eﬀect on prey.

We showed the existence of a significative difference with the well known Holling-Tanner model, since new equilibrium points can appear in the ﬁrst quadrant. Besides, the model presents a rich dynamic since for different parameter values is possible to prove the existence of:

(i) a separatrix curve on the phase plane dividing the behaviour of the trajectories,

(ii) a homoclinic curve generated by the stable and unstable manifolds of a positive equilibrium point. When this curve breaks it generates a non-infinitesimal limit cycle,

(iii) different kinds of bifurcations, such as: saddle-node, Hopf, Bogadonov-Takens and homoclinic.

The system has solutions highly sensitive to initial conditions. To simplify the calculus, we considered a topologically equivalent system with a minor quantity of parameters. For this new model, we proved that for certain value of parameters the model exhibits multi-stability phenomenon since there exists a stable limit cycle or a stable positive equilibrium point.

Dynamics on the Holling-Tanner predator-prey model considering an alternative food for predator
Creators: name: Arancibia-Ibarra, Claudio

Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2018

description: This work deals with a modi…ed Leslie-Gower type predator-prey model where the predators have an alternative food when the quantity of prey diminish and a Holling type II functional response is considered.

With both assumptions the model obtained has a significative difference with the known May-Holling-Tanner model, since the new equilibrium point (0,c) appears, which can be a repeller or a saddle point for different set on the parameter values.

We can obtain different dynamics according the parameter values and it can possible to prove that the existence of a unique positive equilibrium point which is global asymptotically stable.

Also, for other parameter constraints we prove the existence of separatrix curves on the phase plane that divide the behavior of the trajectories, which can have different omega limit, implying that solutions are highly sensitives to initial conditions.

With both assumptions, we have a modification of the known May-Holling-Tanner model, and the model obtained has a significative difference with those model due the existence of an equilibrium point over y-axis, which is an attractor for all parameter values.

    ii) The predator growth function is of logistic type, and
    iii) A logistic type growth function for predator as in Leslie-Gower models
    The Leslie-Gower model is characterised because the environmental carrying capacity is a function of prey size, that is, it depends on the available resources.

description: Heterozygous inactivating mutations of the calcium-sensing receptor encoding gene (CASR) cause autosomal dominant familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH), whereas mutations that inactivate both alleles cause neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT), a rare and potentially fatal disease. We present the clinical and genetic characterization of a Portuguese family with FHH/NSHPT as well as the long-term follow-up of the proband.


Newborn admitted due to progressive hypotonia, feeding refusal, and dehydration. Serum calcium and PTH levels were markedly increased. Radiological evaluation revealed osteopenia and several fractures. Total parathyroidectomy with reimplantation of ¼ of one gland was performed. At 15-year-old she is clinically well, has normal calcium levels and detectable parathormone values, under calcium and α-calcidiol treatment. CASR gene sequencing revealed a germline homozygous nonsense mutation. The proband’s parents and grandfathers were asymptomatic, heterozygous carriers of the same mutation.

description: Schistosomiasis is a usually imported, rare disease in developed countries. The schistosome life cycle has three phases in the human host, each one usually associated with different clinical symptoms.


We report a case of a male adolescent presenting with periorbital and facial edema, with no other symptoms or findings during physical examination. Laboratory investigation revealed hypereosinophilia. A thorough medical history, revealed that he travelled through several African countries and practiced freshwater activities the month before. Serologic test for Schistosoma mansoni was positive. He successfully was treated with praziquantel.


We intent to alert for the challenges of schistosomiasis diagnosis and to present, to our knowledge, the first pediatric case presenting with angioedema. An exhaustive anamnesis and the finding of eosinophilia were fundamental for raising the suspicion. Serologic tests may be necessary for diagnosis since microscopic test have low sensitivity. Treatment with praziquantel avoided progression of the disease and further complications.

Pediatric Interhospital Transport: Who and How We Transport in the South of Portugal
Creators: name: Cunha, Margarida

Publisher: name: Portuguese Journal of Pediatrics
Year: 2022

description: Introduction: Pediatric inter-hospital transport (PIT) allows critically ill patient to be transported to an Intensive Care Unit by a qualified team. Since 2012, Portugal has an organized pediatric inter-hospital transport system.


Methods: Observational study using prospectively collected data on patient and transport characteristics, from South-PIT retrievals for 2 years. Patient management suggestions were analyzed during the last year.


Results: From the 1243 retrievals performed: 93% were urgent, 53% neonatal, 61% male, median age: 23 months (minimum 20min; max 18yr), median weight: 3.21kg (minimum 0.34g; maximum 101kg). In 65% the referral hospital was in group I, II or similar. The median total transport duration was 1h40, with a median time until arrival and on-site stabilization of 30min. Planned transports lasted on average 30min more (p=0.015) than urgent. The most frequent indication for transport was respiratory insufficiency (25%). Before transport 593 (48%) patients were unstable. During transport there was a 7% improval in clinical stability (p=0.008). Clinical deterioration and complications occurred only in 49 (4%) and 74 (6%) transports. Two patients died (0.2%). Procedures and/or therapies were required in 99% and 76% of transports and were of advanced life support in up to half. Patient management suggestions were made by the PIT doctor in 40% of transports. The 92% compliance was independent of clinical stability (p=0.622).


Conclusions: The South-PIT transports highly complex and severe patients with a high-quality level of care. The large volume of transports, patients stability and the few adverse events reported sustain a specialized pediatric transport system.

The relationship between repetition suppression and neurotransmission in the human brain: an fMRS study
Creators: name: Apšvalka, Dace

Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2018

description: Functional magnetic resonance spectroscopy (fMRS) complements other brain functioning research methods by providing measures of neurometabolites and their dynamics during brain activation noninvasively and in-vivo. We use fMRS to study the relationship between repetition suppression and neurotransmission in the human lateral occipital cortex (LOC). Repetition suppression is reduced neuronal response to a repeated stimulus, often accompanied by improved processing of the stimulus. It has been widely studied by single-cell recordings, electroencephalography, and functional magnetic resonance imaging, however, still remains unexplained. Neurotransmission is closely linked to blood flow and glutamate and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) concentration changes. The ability of fMRS to detect these changes makes it a novel and unique tool for studying physiological processes underlying repetition suppression effect in the human brain. We hypothesise that with repeated vs novel stimuli fMRS measures will show decreased blood flow and glutamate and GABA concentration in LOC reflecting decreased neurotransmission during repetition suppression.

description: Background: Early neonatal hospital discharges are an important issue in perinatal care. We aimed to characterize newborns admitted to the Pediatric Emergency Department (PED) in the first months of the Covid-19 pandemic.


Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study concerning newborns who presented to the PED during the pandemic period, in comparison with the same period of the previous year. Data gathered concerning neonatal characteristics included length of postpartum stay in the nursery, age at presentation to the PED, source of referral to the PED, presenting complaint, need for complementary exams, diagnosis, final destination and hospital readmission.


Results: We analyzed 72 PED admissions which constituted the contemporary cohort and 123 PED admissions which constituted the historical cohort. The rate of newborns discharged from the nursery before completing 36 hours of life was higher during the pandemic period. We found an increased rate of neonates visiting the PED in this period, especially during the first two weeks of life. There was a higher referral rate to the PED and higher rates of newborns referred to an ambulatory pediatrics appointment. No differences were found concerning the presenting complaints, need for complementary exams, diagnoses and admission rates.


Discussion: Although there was an increased rate of neonatal admissions to the PED during the pandemic period, the severity of illness did not increase. The decreased time of parental education during the postpartum stay in the nursery and the reduced access to primary care during the pandemics might have been the major cause for the increased PED utilization.

description: Rhabdomyosarcoma is one of the most common neoplasms in paediatrics. However, its location in the temporal region is rare.


We report a case of a 6 year old male admitted to the Emergency Department with a recurrent history of right otalgia, with progressive clinical worsening despite seriated antibiotics and corticotherapy.


Image characterization with both computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were suggestive of a space occupying lesion, confirmed with an exploratory tympanomastoidectomy, that revealed an obliterative polypoid lesion. The samples sent for pathology exam were later confirmed to be a rhabdomyosarcoma.


The patient underwent combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy, initially with improvement, however, clinical relapse followed with rapid decline to death 9 months after his first symptoms.


This case highlights the importance of a strong clinical suspicion in cases presenting with persistence of common symptoms in pediatrics.

description: Introduction and Objectives: The Government of India conducted a mass measles-rubella (MR) vaccination phase-1 campaign (2017) in five states/union territories. However, this campaign had met with resistance from the public with several rumours circulating on media. The present study was conducted to know the perception of parents regarding MR vaccine, reasons for the vaccine hesitancy, and information sources used to make decisions regarding vaccination.


Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 425 children. Parents/caretakers of every fifth child were interviewed using a pretested semi-structured standardized questionnaire adapted from the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) working model after written consent. Reasons for vaccine hesitancy were considered as the outcome variables. Descriptive statistics were used for calculating frequencies. Chi square test was used for comparing the variables between vaccine compliant and vaccine-hesitant groups; P <0.05 was considered significant.


Results: Among 425 informants, 178 (41.8%) refused the vaccine initially. Only 149 (83.7%) reported fear of side effects as the reason for initial vaccine hesitancy. Vaccine hesitancy had stemmed from the fear of side effects following immunization, which was generated from the wrong information circulated in social media, television, and by word of mouth from the neighbours. Reassurance through interpersonal communication by school authorities and health care professionals led to improved vaccine acceptance.


Conclusion: Vaccine hesitancy stemming from the fear of side effects was generated by the wrong information, which was circulated in the social media and television about children getting hospitalized after MR vaccine.

description: Cavernous malformations are almost asymptomatic cerebral vascular malformations. In children, these low-blood flow lesions are the main causes of cerebral hemorrhage besides arteriovenous malformations. Cerebral cavernous malformations can radiologically and clinically mimic a tumor with bleed. Radiological studies (MRI) provide the diagnosis andhistopathological examination confirms it.
We report a case of a 14-year-old male patient who presented with five days history of dizziness, imbalance, tinnitus, hearing loss and paresthesia of the face and tongue on the right. A magnetic resonance revealed a multi-cystic, right middle cerebellar peduncle mass, showing areas of hemorrhages with various stages of thrombus. Cerebral angiography ruled out an arteriovenous malformation. He underwent a surgery, with a complete removal, decision based on location and symptomatic presentation mode. Histopathology confirmed a cavernous malformation. The patient had no new neurological deficit and he had an uneventful postoperative recovery. Late follow-up magnetic resonance confirmed total removal of the lesion.

description: Organosilanes are advantageous in organic synthesis due to their ability to act as both stable products and reactive intermediates. A stereospecific one-pot cascade reaction that converts chiral allylic silanes into chiral heterocycles was developed using Lewis acid catalysis. We report on the development of this cascade reaction, optimization to benchtop- scale chemistry, and preliminary investigation into the synthetic scope. In our studies, we were successful in varying the cyclization ring size, investigating cyclization preference in the presence of multiple electrophilic leaving groups, and altering the functional groups present on the aldehyde starting material. Ultimately, we envision this method will be useful in the synthesis of a variety of enantioenriched heterocycles found in bioactive natural products, many of which have may find use as potential drug targets.

Publisher: name: Portuguese Journal of Pediatrics
Year: 2022

description: Introduction: Hospitalizations can reveal consequences on child development, potentiate infections and increase hospital costs. About 30% of pediatric hospitalizations can be avoided with adequate outpatient care. Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions allows you to analyze these hospitalizations and monitor morbidity, access and quality of care.


Methods: Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions were characterized by the PDI and Bardsley et al. methodologies, with episodes of hospitalization of children under 18 years, in 2017, from the Central Administration of the Health System database, with ICD-10-CM version GDH. A descriptive analysis was performed with the SPSS and Microsoft Office Excel software of the variables gender, age, region, length of stay and main diagnoses and determined the prevalence, rate of hospitalization and financial impact.


Results: Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions represent 13.10 to 17.50% of all pediatric hospitalizations, respectively, using the PDI methodology and Bardsley et al., with an average delay of four days, male prevalence (52%), up to at the age of four (> 30%), in the Northern region (> 30%) and highest rate in the Lisbon region (> 30 hospitalizations / 10000 inhabitants). The main causes are gastroenteritis, urinary tract infection, ear, nose and throat infections, asthma and seizures and epilepsy. The financial impact is four to six million euros for more than 20000 days of hospitalization.


Discussion: The results reveal a potential difference in care needs by region and an indispensable adequacy of the supply and distribution of health resources.

description: This study investigates the potential of ionic liquids as alternative solvents to the volatile n-dodecane used in the PUREX process for separating uranium and plutonium from spent nuclear fuel. Using the COSMO-RS method, 2106 ionic liquids were screened to evaluate their suitability. Key parameters, including the distribution coefficients of uranyl nitrate in an ionic liquid/aqueous nitric acid biphasic system and the solubility of these ionic liquids in water, were assessed. Seventeen ionic liquids, particularly those based on tetrafluoroborate (BF4), were identified as highly hydrophobic. Among these, hexamethyl guanidium tetrafluoroborate demonstrated the highest distribution coefficient, surpassing that of conventional n-dodecane despite its increased hydrophilicity. The findings indicate that certain ionic liquids hold promise as effective replacements for n-dodecane in the PUREX process, potentially enhancing solvent performance in nuclear fuel reprocessing
