Abstract

To determine the value of fetal MRI-calculated total lung volumes (TLV) in the prediction of short-term outcome in patients with giant omphalocele (GO). We reviewed all cases of GO undergoing fetal MRI after 21 weeks' gestation and receiving postnatal care at our institution between 2003 and 2010. Observed/expected (O/E) TLV was calculated using age-matched TLV normograms [Radiology 2001;219:236-241]. Postnatal outcomes were stratified based on O/E TLV above or below 50% of expected. Seventeen GO cases fulfilled the entry criteria. The mean age at fetal MRI evaluation was 25.8 ± 4.8 weeks' gestation. The mean GO TLV (21.0 ± 13.2) was lower than age-matched population norms (p < 0.001), resulting in a mean O/E TLV of 52.3 ± 16.8%. The mean gestational age at delivery was 36.8 ± 1.6 weeks. Overall survival was 94%. Fourteen (88%) infants underwent staged reduction, and 2 underwent silver sulfadiazine treatment and delayed repair. Infants with ≤50% of predicted O/E TLV (n = 11, 65%) had lower Apgar scores at birth (p = 0.03), prolonged ventilatory support (p = 0.004), delayed oral intake (p = 0.03), and longer hospitalization (p = 0.03) compared to patients with ≥50% of expected O/E TLV. Two infants (both O/E TLV <50%) required tr...Continue Reading

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
