Οral health status and treatment needs among 12 year old school-children (grade 6th) in western Αttica

Abstract

Introduction: The WHO defines oral health as one of the important elements that determine the general health and quality of life (WHO 2007).

Aim: To evaluate the results of a preventive dental program, in the heterogeneous student population of 6th elementary class (WHO oral health index 12yrs).

Materials and Methods: In cooperation with the Municipality and following parental permission, participation of 145 students (out of 274 of the 6thgrade, school year2013-14) in a preventative dental check up was performed at our Hospital. Participants accounted for 53% of students, where boys=50.3%, Greek children=74.5%, immigrants=6.2%, Roma=19.3%).

Results: Caries was found in 35.8% of students, with an average of decayed teeth/person=1.8 and a ratio of girls/boys=1.16/1. Filled teeth were encountered in 31.7% of children (~50% with ≥2 fillings, mostly girls) with an average of filled tooth/person=1.5. The mean DMFT index=1.13. Gingivitis occurred in 6.3% (boys/girls=8/1) and dental plaque in 94.5%. The mean index DI-s=0,94. Total untreated caries needs were UTN=57,3% (greek-children=48.3%, roma=75%, immigrants=81%) while 4 out of 10 adolescents were free of caries. Orthodontic problems were identified in 74% of students (boys/girls=1.3/1). Nearly 38% of students have preventive dental check ups (13.1% yearly), with inequalities due to ethnicity and for 7% was their first dental visit.

Conclusions: Caries prevalence is high among our students, their oral-health status was moderate, their dental monitoring incomplete and there are important inequalities due to ethnicity. It is important to inform both students and their parents about good oral-health and hygiene, to establish improved dental care especially for sensitive populations and to implement customized programs for the promotion of oral-health.

Comparative study of use of corporal punishment to children in Greece preceding and followingits criminalization

Abstract

Background: Physical punishment of children is used by parents as a means of behavioral correction. In Greece, this practice was penalized by law in 2006.

Methods: The research, that took place in 2014, aims at the comparative study (with our research in 2001) and the investigation of the change of attitude and perceptions about the use of corporal punishment in children after its legal abolition in our country in 2006. The additional objective is the detection of any need for information about the subject. We addressed to 350 parents who brought their children to our pediatric department with questionnaires to answer optionally and anonymously.

Results: A 27.36% (compared with 83% in 2001) of the respondents said they physically punished their children and 88.46% of them accepted the loss of their temper. The existence of a supportive person at home is combined with a reduction in the use of physical punishment, in the same proportion. The majority of parents agree with the criminalization of this practice, with a 52.63% of them looking for special parenting education, 55.78% from the pediatrician. Conclusions: Nowadays, the need for increased protection of childhood is as urgent as ever. The ban on corporal punishment as a method of educating children in Greece in 2006 led to a significant change in public opinion, since its use was significantly reduced compared to 2001. This decline can be attributed to both criminalization as such and public debate which began on the occasion of the law.

Food Insecurity during Childhood: causes, prevalence, results and recommendations

Abstract

Food insecurity is defined as the limited and/or precarious access to nutritionally adequate and secure food, as well as the limited/uncertain ability to obtain sufficient food in socially accepted ways. In childhood, it is associated with a number of negative developmental changes, including behavioral problems, poor health in general, but also disrupted social relationships, delayed speech development, shame, poor school performance and abstinence from school, impaired lifestyle, low levels of physical activity, increased energy intake, adopting an unhealthy diet and inadequate intake of micronutrients such as calcium, iron and zinc. It is a precursor condition leading to changes in child's physiology, such as low stature.

Phenylketonuria (PKU): past, present, future

Abstract

Phenylketonuria is the most well - known inborn error of amino acid metabolism (phenylalanine into tyrosine). PKU is caused by the deficiency of the liver enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) which is responsible for the metabolism of phenylalanine to tyrosine. It is inherited with a recessive autosomal trait. The clinical picture of untreated PKU is mental retardation, behavioural disorders, seizures, eczema, aggression, hyperactivity, psychosis and autism, due to toxicity of the Phe and it’s metabolites. The main treatment of this disorder is low Phe diet and rich Phe free medical foods in cases of BH4 deficiency. It is important to restore this disorder with the additional precautions or and neurotransmitters in case of BH4 deficiency. The disease is diagnosed early during the first days of life by measuring the levels of amino acid Phe into dry blood spots on Guthrie cards (neonatal screening, NBS). Regular laboratory and psychometric tests are very important for the best outcome of the patient with this metabolic disorder. Quality of life of children and their parents is also improved by close follow up and psychological support. In the future, gene therapy could be the best treatment for this metabolic disorder.

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathies in children: Diagnosis and management

Abstract

Background: The Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndromes are uncommon constellations of organ-specific autoimmune diseases, characterized by the occurrence of more than one autoimmune disease in an affected individual. Involvement of both endocrine and non-endocrine organs and tissues may be present.

Methods: Review of the recent literature, focusing on clinical and laboratory data that aid in establishing the diagnosis of Polyglandular Autoimmune Diseases.

Results - Conclusions: Two major subtypes of polyglandular syndromes exist (APS-1 and APS2), that are distinguished according to the age of presentation, characteristic patterns of disease combinations, and different modes of inheritance. A third subtype has been described in adults that, contrary to types I and II, does not involve the adrenal cortex.

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor: clinical - Pathological Characteristics and Outcome

Abstract

We present a case of a 12-year old boy who was admitted due to worsening abdominal pain of 2 weeks duration, with concomitant lower back pain, as well as, night sweats. The imaging revealed the presence of a mass in the lower pelvis with peritoneal carcinomatosis. The mass biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of desmoplastic small round cell tumor. Followed by chemotherapeutic treatment and an effort of surgical exception with positive results. The patient relapsed 14 months after diagnosis and finally died. Desmoplastic small round cell tumor is a rare malignant tumor with poor prognosis. It affects young adolescents, preferably males in the second decade of the life, and is manifested mainly as sizable abdominal mass with broad expansion usually already at diagnosis.

A 47, XXY karyotype in a patient with autism spectrum disorder

Elisavet Kouvidi, Sophia Zachaki, Anastasios Mitrakos, Haralampia Tsarouha, Amelia Pantou, Emmanouil Kanavakis, Ariadni

Abstract

Βackground: Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are serious multifactorial developmental disorders with great clinical heterogeneity. Biological factors play a major role in ADS development. Various genetic syndromes are associated with ASD. In this report, we describe an interesting case of a child with ASD and Jacobs syndrome (47,XYY).

Case report: A 3-year-old boy with ASD was referred to our Department for molecular karyotype in order to investigate possible genetic causes. There was no consanguinity between the parents and the family history was free of autism. In the perinatal history, a full-term pregnancy and vaginal delivery were reported.

Results: Molecular karyotype (Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization - aCGH) indicated duplication of Y chromosome regions Yp11.32-p11.2, Yq11.21-q12 and Yq11.23-q12, as well as duplication of pseudo-autosomal regions of X chromosome Xp22.33, Xp28. These findings are consistent with a 47,XYY karyotype. Conventional cytogenetic analysis confirmed the 47,XYY karyotype.

Conclusions: The presence of an additional Y chromosome is probably associated with ASD. Further studies are required to investigate the role of the extra Y chromosome and the genes located on it in ASD manifestation. Investigating the genetic basis of ASD and identifying reliable biomarkers will contribute to early postnatal and prenatal ASD diagnosis.

Interesting cases of Echinococcosis or Hydatid disease

Abstract

Introduction: Echinococcosis or Hydatid disease is caused by the larvae of tapeworms Echinococcus. Humans are intermediate host in the life cycle of the parasite. The incidence of the disease is relatively low in our country, mostly presented in rural populations. The disease has different clinical characteristics between adults and pediatric patients.

Methods: In this retrospective study we analyzed cases of pulmonary disease hospitalized for postoperative care in Cardiothoracic Surgery Intensive Care Unit of the Children's Hospital Agia Sophia, during 2016.

Results: The study includes three male school age patients (MO 10.6 years), with multiple sites disease. All 3 patients had pulmonary involvement, two of them exhibit a solitary lung cyst (66.7%) and 1 (33.3%) bilateral cysts. The most common localization was lower lobe of the right lung (2 patients, 66.7%). Cough was the main symptom, and the chest x-ray was diagnostic in all patients. Two patients presented with complicated lung cyst. Surgical treatment was carried out in all 3 patients, with no mortality or recurrence.

Conclusions: Echinococcosis, although with low incidence, is endemic in our country, with a different clinical picture in children compared with adults. The disease exhibits long subclinical period, and the clinical manifestation are nonspecific. Diagnosis is made with radiological methods. Surgery is the treatment of choice for patients with pulmonary disease, with reliable results in children. Pulmonary Hydatid disease should be included in the differential diagnosis of pediatric patients with fever and cough, particularly if they come from a rural area.
