Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs (GnRHa) are widely used to treat central precocious puberty (CPP). The efficacy and safety of GnRHa treatment are known, but concerns regarding long-term complications are increasing. Follow-up observation results after GnRHa treatment cessation in female CPP patients up to adulthood showed that treatment (especially <6 years) was beneficial for final adult height relative to that of pretreated...

Purpose

To evaluate the potential utility of ¹²³I-metaiodobenzylguanine (¹²³I-MIBG) scintigraphy and ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose (¹⁸F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) for the detection of primary and metastatic lesions in pediatric neuroblastoma (NBL) patients, and to determine whether ¹⁸F-FDG PET is as beneficial as ¹²³I-MIBG imaging.

Methods

We selected 8 NBL patients with significant residual mass after operation and who had paired ¹²³I-MIBG and ¹⁸F-FDG PET images...

Follow-Up Method in Patients with Kawasaki Disease who had No Coronary Artery Abnormalities in the Convalescent Period

Hee Jung Joo, Min Seob Song, Chul Ho Kim

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(2):165-173. Published online February 15, 2005

Purpose : We performed the study to evaluate the value of the follow-up echocardiogram performed 6 months to 1 year after the onset of Kawasaki disease(KD), as recommended by American Heart Association(AHA) guidelines, when echocardiograms in the convalescent period were normal. Methods : Patients were selected from 147 cases diagnosed with KD at Pusan Paik hospital from January 2000 to October...
