Scrotal hair in infancy: A case series

Scrotal hair is a clinical condition that occurs rarely in infancy. Its prevalence is not known. We present a retrospective analysis of six patients referred to our pediatric endocrinology clinic. Except for scrotal hair development, all physical examinations were normal. Underlying pathologic hyperandrogenism was excluded in each case. Clinical regression was observed in all four infants with documented follow-up visits. Scrotal hair in infancy is not well known to most pediatricians and dermatologists and can cause parental anxiety. Our cases are typical of the benign course of isolated scrotal hair.

repair or replace it. Points to consider include the following:
- How much longer will central-line therapy continue? Catheter repair may be more appropriate if therapy will continue for a few days, whereas replacement is more appropriate for longer-term therapy.
- Are vessels available for a new insertion? Did the inserting clinician note that the catheter was inserted with much difficulty? Does the patient have a history of multiple catheter insertions?
- Is the catheter appropriate for exchange? Is there a chance of contamination or infection with this catheter or insertion site?
- Is repair feasible based on variables of catheter damage and exposure? What are the possible risks of contamination and infection?
- What are the manufacturer’s recommendations? Many catheters don’t come with repair kits. Depending on leakage or breakage location, repair may be impossible—for instance, with a double-lumen catheter that’s leaking below the bifurcation.
- If the catheter is visibly ruptured on the outside, is there a possibility it has ruptured on the inside? This can be determined only by X-ray or dye study.

Voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) in neonates with first-time febrile UTI (September 2017)
For neonates with first-time urinary tract infection (UTI), the optimal approach to evaluating for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is uncertain, and expert opinion differs as to whether a voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) is necessary in all cases. A recent study of 122 young infants with first-time febrile UTI found that high-grade VUR was far less likely among infants with normal renal ultrasound and Escherichia coli infection compared with those with abnormal renal ultrasound, non-E. coli pathogen, or both abnormal ultrasound and non-E. coli pathogen (1 versus 31, 26, and 55 percent, respectively) [18]. These data suggest that a VCUG may not be necessary for all neonates with first-time UTI, and they support a strategy of "watchful waiting" for low-risk infants. However, VCUG should be performed in neonates with abnormal renal ultrasound, non-E. coli pathogen, or recurrent UTI

LONG TTN., OVER 72 HRS
Lactate and LDH might be useful for clinicians at first level hospitals for decision making to refer the TTN patient to the secondary or tertiary level neonatal intensive care unit before the clinical situation is worsened.

Term infants with TTN had low lamellar body counts associated with decreased surfactant function, suggesting that prolonged disease is associated with surfactant abnormalities.
Male gender, prematurity and delivery by cesarean section were the major risk factors for TTN. Parenteral furosemide had no effect on the clinical course. Peak respiratory rate (RRpeak) at the first 36 h was significantly higher in group 2 (P > 0.000). The cut-off for RRpeak during the first 36 h (RRpeak36) was 90/min and RRpeak36 > 90/min caused a 7.04-fold risk of prolongedtachypnea. White blood cell count and hematocrit levels were lower whereas duration of hospitalization and antibiotic treatment were longer in group 2.
Assessment of RRpeak36 may be useful in predicting clinical course of TTN.
Initially prolonged RVSTI RT VENTR SYTOLIC TIME INTERVAL was best predictor of the development of severe TTN (relative risk ratio 17.5, p less than 0.001): clinical characteristics and oxygen requirements at the admission had limited predictive value.

Especially during prosperous times in your life, the Stoics believe you should practice poverty. This is how you prepare for hardship and become an expert in dealing with the ups and downs of life. Comfort can become a form of slavery because you consistently start to think that someone could take away what you have.

Before introduction of Bexsero, there were convincingly low levels of side effects in extremely premature babies following routine immunisation. After introduction of Bexsero, 33% (6/18) became unwell within 48 hours of vaccination and 28% (5/18) needed escalation in respiratory support. Eleven per cent (2/18) needed rescue ventilation following Bexsero vaccination. We also observed a more sustained C reactive protein response on unwell babies after Bexsero vaccination in Period 2, which influenced our decision to treat them with antibiotics for 5 days. Interestingly, the median gestational age of babies who became unwell (33%) following Bexsero administration was 25 weeks.

coffee may have a protective effect against chronic health problems, including liver disease, colorectal cancer, type 2 diabetes and stroke. Drinking three cups of coffee per day has also been associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease—in one study, 21% lower than those who abstained—and it doesn’t appear to increase people’s risk of irregular heartbeat.
