Clinically the syndrome is manifested by malnutrition, weight loss; steatorrhea, and diarrhea that occur because of decreased absorptive capacity. Intestinal failure is the end result of several complex interacting mechanisms relating in: reduced enterocyte mass, short small bowel length (8-15% of normal) with consequent reduced mucosal contact time for absorption, massive proximal loop dilatation with poor propulsion. Intraluminal stasis and bacterial overgrowth cause bacterial translocation to the liver and "liver injury" presents as intrahepatic cholestasis, with rapid onset and relentless in its progression to end stage hepatic failure. Patients with short bowel must be totally or partly supported with intravenous nutrition until enteral absorption can sustain survival and growth. Autologous bowel reconstruction attempts to reconfigure the residual bowel to eliminate negative factors of bowel dilatation and stasis, and to redistribute the absorptive mucosa to enhance the adaptation response. Case report: A case of a newborn with extensive small bowel resection (about 80%) because of malrotation with volvulus and bowel gangrene is presented. The newborn had been six days on total parenteral nutrition and then enteral nutrition had been started. The adaptation response on twentieth day had been satisfactory so that parenteral nutrition was completely suspended. Full adaptation was achieved after two months when the child had one yellow colored bowel movement per day. Presently, the baby grows normally and gains weight. Conclusion: What makes this case interesting is a really unusually rapid adaptation response towards complete enteral independence.

The expense, morbidity, and inconvenience of this therapy, however, have led to continued interest in alternatives for the treatment of the short bowel syndrome. Patients with short bowel require a multi disciplinary approach over a prolonged period. HISTORICAL CONSIDERATIONS: The history of small bowel transplantation started in 1959 when Lillehei showed that autotransplantation of the small intestine in a dog was feasible. From 1964 to 1971, 7 attempts of small bowel allotransplantations in humans have been reported. All 7 patients died. Definition: Short gut syndrome is a malabsorptive condition occurring after significant loss of intestinal absorptive capacity. The clinical syndrome is manifested by malnutrition, steatorrhea, weight loss, and diarrhea due to decreased absorptive capacity. Etiology: Etiologic factors leading to the short gut state include necrotizing enterocolitis, midgut volvulus, trauma, embolic phenomenon, and Crohn's disease. Pathophysiology: Intestinal failure is the end result of several complex interacting mechanisms related to: reduced enterocyte mass, short small bowel length with consequent reduced mucosal contact time for absorption, massive proximal loop dilatation with poor propulsion, and intraluminal stasis and bacterial overgrowth lead to bacterial translocation to the liver systemically. Management: Patients with short bowel must be totally or partly supported with intravenous nutrition until enteral absorption can sustain survival and growth. Autologous bowel reconstruction attempts to reconfigure the residual bowel to eliminate negative factors of bowel dilatation and stasis, and redistribute the absorptive mucosa to enhance the adaptation response. Several procedures have been suggested to: prolong transmitting time and increase mucosal contact time, enhance absorption by bowel tailoring and bowel lengthening, and increasing the Enterocyte mass. Conclusion: Autologous gastro-intestinal reconstruction is still in its infacny with prospect of new and different concepts for the future.

In 5 patients surgical findings were catarrhal inflammation, in 14 phlegmonous, in 9 gangrenous, in 15 perforated and in 13 no inflammation occurred. In 2 cases abscess periappendiceal was found intraoperatively. We considered as visualized only those appendices that were intraoperatively found at places ultrasonographically described. Ultrasonographic visualization was successful in 91.37%. The most relevant criteria for ultrasonic evaluation of the inflammation is noncompressibility noted in 97.67% of cases of appendicitis. The second criteria is thickened wall noted in 86.04% of patients. Ultrasonographic diagnosis of the abdominal fluid collections is confident: sensitivity 0.85, specificity 0.91. The diagnostic value of ultrasound findings in acute appendicitis is high: sensitivity 0.87, specificity 0.84. That is why routine ultrasound diagnostic examination in acute atypical appendicitis is recommended.

All infant girls had incarcerated ovaries or ovaries and fallopian tubes inside hernia sacs. The nonreducible ovaries were present at the time of operation in 35 (37%) girls and in 5 the ovary and tube were twisted. The ovary and tube, were twisted and ischemic at the time of operation, requiring oophorectomy in 2 out of 5 girls. The results of this review and recent experiences reveal that nonreducible ovary is not at risk of compression of its blood supply, but at significant risk of torsion. That is why asymptomatic nonreducible ovary should be treated as every incarcerated hernia--with urgent reduction, manual or operative.

Conclusion: Regardless of the etiology of the acute scrotal pain, it is of great importance that the patient seeks medical assistance promptly. It is therefore important to educate the parents and patients about the problems related to acute scrotal pain.

The most common clinical manifestation is severe uncontrolled hypertension in adolescents and young adults. Medical treatment alone can decrease blood pressure, but often very high doses of antihypertensive drugs are needed. When hypertension is refractory to the antihypertensive medications, surgical revascularization is considered as the treatment of choice. We report the case of a severe and diffuse hypoplasia of the aorta, beginning with the aortic isthmus, to the aortic bifurcation, associated with an aberrant celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery, and with other multiple vascular abnormalities. Unlikely, the only manifestation of this extensive vascular malformation was medicamentously controllable hypertension. To our knowledge, this severe vascular anomaly, with such a minimal clinical manifestation, has not been previously described in the English literature.

Secondary hypertension is a relatively common form of hypertension in childhood with renovascular hypertension being responsible for 5%?10% of all arterial hypertensions in children. An early diagnosis of renovascular hypertension is important when considering an appropriate treatment of hypertension that may prevent or slow further progression of kidney damage. To validate the usefulness of a captopril renal scintigraphy in hypertensive children, we report a case of a 16-year-old female patient with a history of hypertension as a result of fibromuscular dysplasia. Case report. The patient was asymptomatic with elevated blood pressure revealed by a routine physical examination. Laboratory tests showed the increased levels of plasma renin activity with the normal levels of aldosteron. The renal ultrasound was normal. The Doppler of the renal arteries showed no significant differences of resistive index. A renal captopril scintigraphy was performed, including two day stu...

Epidemiological studies of CE, especially pediatric, are rare. The aim of this study was to evaluate epidemiological and clinical characteristics of CE in children in Serbia. Data were obtained retrospectively from the case records of patients under the age of 18 years admitted for surgical treatment of CE at two large pediatric medical institutions in the period 1990-2006. Patients' age, number of cysts and their anatomic location were evaluated in relation to differences by patients' gender and socio-geographic status (urban or rural origin). The study included 149 children with 272 hydatid cysts. The mean age of patients was 10.1 ± 3.8 years. There were no significant differences in the number of patients in relation to gender and urban: rural origin. There were no significant differences in patients' age at the time of surgery or the number of cysts per patient when patients' gender or socio-geographic status was evaluated. The anatomic location of cysts was as follows: liver (N = 165; 60.7%), lungs (N = 82; 30.1%), and other locations (N = 25; 9.2%). Multiple cysts, and combined liver/lung involvement were identified in 34.2% (N = 51), and 6.0% (N = 9) of patients, respectively. Hepatic cysts were significantly more common in girls than in boys. There were no significant differences in anatomic location of cysts between socio-geographic groups. The large number of infected children during a long period of investigation indicates an active transmission of disease and a lack of program for control and prevention of CE in Serbia.
