Chantima Rongviriyapanich, Thanarat Sakunchit, Chirawat Sudla, Supamas Mungkung, Napapong Pongnapang, Chai Hong Yeong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2020;63(12):491-498.   Published online July 13, 2020
Question: What is the normal renal size of Thai children and is the renal nomogram comparable to those of Western and Chinese cohorts?
Finding: The renal length of Thai children was moderately correlated with that of Western children, while the age-specific renal volume was significantly smaller than that of Chinese children.
Meaning: Renal size in children can vary among regions and sociodemographic backgrounds; hence, a local reference standard is needed.

Quality improvement in pediatric care
Moon Sung Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2018;61(1):1-5.   Published online January 22, 2018

We often overlook the importance of several safety issues such as identification of patients, timeout procedure, hand hygiene, handoff communication, and many others. This ignorance, along with many other issues, leads to medical error being ranked as a third leading cause of death in the U.S. Consequently, quality improvement (QI) has become one of the major subjects in healthcare despite...

Trends in survival rate for very low birth weight infants and extremely low birth weight infants in Korea, 1967-2007
Ki-Soo Kim, Chung-Woo Bae
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2008;51(3):237-242.   Published online March 15, 2008
To investigate the trends in the survival rate (SR) for very low birth weight infants (VLBW) and extremely low birth weight infants (ELBWI) in Korea, a total of 43 articles pertaining to SR were analyzed, covering the years from 1967 to 2007. The changes in SR were compared using 5 year periods. The SR for VLBWI has increased remarkably, from...

Purpose : Kawasaki disease is a systemic vasculitis observed in children under five years of age and the leading cause of pediatric acquired heart disease, but its pathophysiology is still not completely understood. With proteomics, the study of quality and quantity of proteins, having been developed dramatically, we tried to find a way to evaluate the etiology and pathogenesis of...

A Case of Berry Syndrome associated with Syndactyly
Sang Chun Jung, Kyoung Sim Kim, Yong Wook Kim, Ki Bok Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(4):543-547.   Published online April 15, 1998
Berry syndrome is a rare association of congenital heart anomalies which consists of a distal aortopulmonary window with aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery and hypoplasia or interruption of the aortic arch. This defect can be corrected only by immediate surgical intervention, so accurate preoperative diagnosis and detailed anatomic depiction of this syndrome are important in prognosis. We experienced a case of Berry...

The Comparison of Coronary Arterial Dimensions Measured by Cross-sectional Echocardiography with Values Obtained by Coronary Angiography in Kawasaki Disease
Mi Jin Jung, Jung Yun Choi, Shung Il Noh, Yong Soo Yun, I Seok Kang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1992;35(8):1102-1106.   Published online August 15, 1992
In order to assess accuracy of cross-sectional echocardiographic measurements of coronary arterial dimension, measured values of coronary arterial dimensions by cross-sectional echocardiography were compared with the angiographic results. Twenty eight patients with Kawasaki diseas (male: female= 3:1, age range, 7 months-8 years) were studied by both coronary arteriography and crossleft anterior descending coronary artery, and left circumflex coronary artery) were...
Noninvasive Estimation of Systemic and Pulmonary Blood flow and the Ratio of Pulmonary to Systemic flow by Two-Dimensional Doppler Echocardigraphy.
Woo Tack Kim, Ki Ho Kim, Haeng Mi Kim, Snag Bum Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1988;31(7):881-891.   Published online July 31, 1988
This study was designed to assess the accuracy and problems of noninvasively measuring right and left cardiac output at various sampling sites by range gated pursed Doppler echocardiography. High correlations were found between Fick-and Doppler-derived measurements of systemic and pulmonary flow as well as the pulmonary to systemic flow ratio in 21 patients undergoing cardiac catheterization (systemic flow [n=21] r=0.81; plulmonary flow [n=29], r=0.78;Qp/Qs...
Two-Dimensional Echocardiographic Diagnosis of Cornary Aneurysms in Children with the Mucocutaneous Lymphnode Syndrome.
Jun Hee Sul, Sung Kyu Lee, Dong Shik Chin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1987;30(12):1363-1367.   Published online December 31, 1987
The two dimensional echocardiographic technique for detecting coronary artery aneurysms was performed in 62 cases with mucocutaneous lymphnode syndrome. Of 62 patients with MCLS, coronary artery aneurysms were detected as large echo-free space in 8 patients. It was found that coronary artery aneurysms usually developed during the acute stage of the illness, and regressed gradually thereafter. Most aneurysms disappeared in 6 months. Therefore, Echocardiography is...
Measurements of Blood Flow in the Ascending and Descending Aorta by Two-Dimensional doppler Echocardiography in School children.
Soon Ung Kang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1987;30(9):972-981.   Published online September 30, 1987
Cardiac output measurements are among the most important physiologic indices of cardiovascular function. Flow computation is one of the major capabilities of Doppler echocardiography. The basic principle is that the average velocity of blood flow multiplied by the area through which the blood passes yields flow volume. The normal range of diameters and velocities in the ascending and descending aorta were established in 76...

The Criteria for Surgical Correction of Ventricular Septal Defect by Non-invasive Diagnostic Methods.
Chuhl Joo Lyu, Jun Hee Sul, Sung Kyu Lee, Dong Shik Chin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1986;29(8):830-835.   Published online August 31, 1986
In selected cases, early corrective surgery is indicated in the management of infants with moderate or large ventricular septal defects. The risks of any surgical procedure in infancy are acknowledged to be great and should be avoided if possible. However, these surgical risks are justified when the patients have intractable congestive heart failure, marked growth retardation, recurrent prolonged lower respiratory...

Sei Woo Chung, Myung Ik Lee, Don Hee Ahn, Keun Chan Sohn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1986;29(7):730-739.   Published online July 31, 1986
Ferritin is a high-molecular weight iron compound consisting of a protein shell, which has normally been considered as a storage compound from which iron is readily mobilized either into the transferrin-bound plasma pool or for intracellular heme synthesis. For comparison of serum ferritin concentrations in anemic patients of various diseases, we measured serum ferritin concentrations, serum iron concentrations, total iron...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1984;27(2):191-196.   Published online February 28, 1984
The asplenia syndrome is rare, characterized by congenital abscence of spleen, cardiovascular anomalies and other malformations or malpositions such as total or partial situs inversus, symmetrical lobulation of the liver and/or lung. Associated multiple complex cardiovascular anomalies include common atrioventricular canal, pulmonary stenosis or atresia, anomalous venous drainage and transposition of great vessels. Two-dimensional echocardiography allows the accurate non invasive...
