Abstract

The primary objective of this epidemiological surveillance study was to estimate the incidence of intussusception (IS) associated with hospitalisation in children <1, <2 and <17 years of age in Germany. We analysed primary and secondary ICD-10 discharge diagnoses for IS (K56.1) and procedure codes for desinvagination from 28 paediatric hospitals in Bavaria, Germany, to identify children hospitalised in 2005 or 2006 due to IS. A total of 518 children with an ICD-10 code for IS were reported: 123 (23.7%) of the children were <1 year of age, 267 (51.5%) were 1-3 years old and 128 (24.8%) older than 3 years of age. IS was the primary ICD-10 diagnosis in 382 (74%) children, including 231 (60%) children with a procedure code for desinvagination. In 136 (26%) children, IS was reported as a secondary ICD-10 diagnosis, including 38 (28%) with a desinvagination procedure code. The yearly incidence of IS in children <1 year of age was estimated as 72/100,000 overall and as 43/100,000 for those with an additional procedural code for desinvagination. Patients solely with an ICD-10 code for IS are often suspected cases, based on clinical presentation. The combination of the ICD-10 code for IS and a procedure code for desinvagination provides...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
