Question: Is echocardiographic examination is useful for surgical method decision in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)?
Finding: Various echocardiographic parameters serve as predictors for determining surgical methods for TOF patients. However, the PV morphology and tissue characteristics should also be considered.
Meaning: A full dependence on the size of the pulmonary valve annulus (PVA), the z score, and the ratio of the size of PVA to aortic valve annulus or descending aorta surgery may result in inadequate surgical results during TOF total correction. |

Purpose A recent study analyzing several cytokines reported that long cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time and long aortic cross clamp (ACC) time were accompanied by enhanced postoperative inflammation, which contrasted with the modest influence of the degree of hypothermia. In this present study, we aimed to examine the effect of CPB temperature on the clinical outcome in infants undergoing repair of isolated... |

Chéiak-Higashi syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterised by partial oculocutaneous albinism, frequent pyogenic infections and abnormal large lysosomal granules in leukocytes and other granule containing cells.
We experienced a case of Chéiak-Higashi syndrome in a twenty days old male who show-ed partial albinism, recurrent infections and characteristic abnormal large granules in granuloc-ytes on peripheral blood smear and bone marrow... |
