OBJECTIVES The University of Iowa Child Protection Program collaborated with Turkish professionals to develop a training program on child abuse and neglect during 2002-2006 with the goals of increasing professional awareness and number of multidisciplinary teams (MDT), regional collaborations, and assessed cases. This paper summarizes the 5-year outcome. METHODS A team of instructors evaluated needs and held training activities in Turkey annually, and provided consultation when needed. Descriptive analysis was done via Excel and SPSS software. RESULTS Eighteen training activities were held with 3,570 attendees. Over the study period, the number of MDTs increased from 4 to 14. The MDTs got involved in organizing training activities in their institutions and communities. The number of medical curriculum lectures taught by MDTs to medical students/residents, conferences organized by the MDTs, and lectures to non-medical professional audiences increased significantly (R(2)=91.4%, 83.8%, and 69.2%, respectively). The number of abuse cases assessed by the MDTs increased by five times compared to pre-training period. CONCLUSIONS A culturally competent training program had a positive impact on professional attitudes and behaviors toward recognition and management of child abuse and neglect in Turkey. The need to partner with policy makers to revise current law in favor of a greater human services orientation became clear. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Pioneers in developing countries may benefit from collaborating with culturally competent instructors from countries with more developed child protection systems to develop training programs so that professional development can improve recognition and management of child abuse and neglect.

Dietrich Kluth; Burak Tander; Martin von Ekesparre; Dick Tibboel; Wolfgang Lambrecht

In recent years, a substantial research effort within the specialty of pediatric surgery has been devoted to improving our knowledge of the natural history and pathophysiology of congenital diaphragmatic hernias (CDH) and pulmonary hypoplasia (PH). However, the embryological background has remained elusive because certain events of normal diaphragmatic development were still unclear and appropriate animal models were lacking. Most authors assume that delayed or inhibited closure of the diaphragm will result in a diaphragmatic defect that is wide enough to allow herniation of the gut into the fetal thoracic cavity. However, we feel that this assumption is not based on appropriate embryological observations. To clarify whether it was correct, we restudied the morphology of pleuroperitoneal openings in normal rat embryos. Shortly before, a model for CDH and PH had been established in rats using nitrofen (2,4-di-chloro-phenyl-p-nitrophenyl ether) as teratogen. We used this model in an attempt to answer the following questions: (1) When does the diaphragmatic defect appear? (2) Are the pleuroperitoneal canals the precursors of the diaphragmatic defect? (3) Why is the lung hypoplastic in babies and infants with CDH?In our study we made following observations: (1) The typical findings of CDH and PH cannot be explained by inhibited closure of the pleuroperitoneal “canals”. In normal development, the pleuroperitoneal openings are always too small to allow herniation of gut into the thoracic cavity. (2) The maldevelopment of the diaphragm starts rather early in the embryonic period (5th week). The lungs of CDH rats are significantly smaller than those of control rats at the end of the embryonic period (8th week). (3) The maldevelopment of the lungs in rats with CDH is “secondary” to the defect of the diaphragm. (4) The defect of the lungs is “structural” rather than “functional”. Complete spontaneous correction of these lung defects is unlikely even after fetal intervention. (5) The “fetal lamb model” does not completely mimic the full picture of CDH, because the onset of the defect lies clearly in the fetal period. We believe that our rat model is better. It is especially useful for describing the abnormal embryology of this lesion.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of functional disability of Turkish children with spina bifida (SB) on parents’ psychological status and family functioning. Methods: Fifty-four children with SB and parents were included. The Functional Measure for Children (WeeFIM), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Family Assessment Device (FAD) were used. Results: Mothers’ BDI scores were significantly higher than fathers’ (p < 0.001). No significant effects of the knowledge of having children with SB before birth and the number of children in families on BDI scores and FAD sub-scores were found (p > 0.05). According to multiple regression analysis; significant correlations with fathers’ BDI were problem-solving (p = 0.012) and general functioning (p = 0.037) and with mothers’ BDI was roles (p = 0.018). Only childrens age was found to be an influential variable on WeeFIM scores (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Spina bifida healthcare should include psychological support to parents of these children and this support should be independent from disability level of children.

PurposeThe management of the esophageal atresia and tracheo-esophageal fistula (EA/TEF) with right-sided aortic arch (RAA) is controversial. The preoperative diagnostic techniques may fail to show RAA associated with EA/TEF. Surgeon may need to make a decision to change the side of thoracotomy. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the possibility of preoperative diagnosis of RAA and the primary anastomosis through right chest.MethodsA retrospective review was performed in EA/TEF patients between February 2001 and 2008. A total of 79 patients (35 female, 44 male) with EA/TEF were reviewed. Eleven (13%) patients (5 female, 6 male) had an RAA. Echocardiography was performed in 10 of 11 patients with RAA. The chest was accessed through the right side in all patients.ResultsThe incidence of RAA was found to be higher in our study than previous studies (13%). Right thoracotomy was performed successfully in all patients. Three patients died due to multiple congenital anomalies and 1 patient due to bleeding postoperatively. Five of 10 had normal echocardiography findings. Only one patient with RAA has been successfully diagnosed by preoperative echocardiographic examination. Seven patients had no complication after operation. Their follow-up was uneventful.ConclusionPreoperative recognition of RAA with echocardiography is unlikely in patients with EA/TEF but the presence of RAA does not decrease the success rate of EA/TEF repair through the right thoracotomy.

Bilateral cystic adrenal tumours are a rare presentation of neuroblastoma. Intratumoural haemorrhage is a frequent finding in neuroblastoma, but is rarely symptomatic. We present an 11-month-old girl with predominantly cystic bilateral neuroblastomas and distant lymph-node metastasis. Massive intracystic haemorrhage and superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome were ominous prognostic factors, leading to death. Large tumours with intracystic haemorrhage might require a conservative approach.

Fetus in fetu (FIF) is a rare cause of abdominal mass in children. One of the malformed monozygotic diamniotic twins is located in the body of other twin. It is differentiated from teratoma by the presence of vertebral organization with limb buds and other organ systems. Diagnosis is based on radiologic findings. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice, leading to the complete removal of the mass. To our knowledge, less than 200 cases have been described in the literature. Herein, we report 2 cases of FIF, a newborn who was diagnosed antenatally and a three-and-half-year- old boy diagnosed with mediastinal FIF after admission for recurrent respiratory tract infections.

Congenital pyloric atresia (CPA) is a very rare malformation with unknown aetiology. It has has numerous complications including gastric perforation, aspiration pneumonia. Gastric perforations in newborns occur by three mechanisms: trauma, ischaemia, or spontaneous. Here, we report a newborn with CPA presenting with gastric serosal tearing without full-cut gastric perforation. The diagnosis was confirmed with the help of plain abdominal radiograph, ultrasound, contrast-study, and at operation. Treatment of CPA is surgery irrespective of the type of atresia. We performed serosa repair and then the solid, cord-like atretic pylorus was excised with accompanying gastroduodenostomy. Our patient had an uneventful course and was discharged at the end of the second postoperative week.

BACKGROUND Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a cholestatic liver disease of childhood. Pruritus resulting from increased bile salts in serum might not respond to medical treatment, and internal or external biliary drainage methods have been described. In this study, we aimed to evaluate different internal drainage techniques in patients with PFIC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 2009 and 2014, seven children (4 male, 3 female, 3months-5years old), (median 2years of age) with PFIC were evaluated. The patients were reviewed according to age, gender, complaints, surgical technique, laboratory findings and outcome. In each two patients, cholecystoileocolonic anastomosis, cholecystojejunocolonic anastomosis and cholecystocolostomy were performed. Cholecysto-appendico-colonic anastomosis was the technique used in one patient. RESULTS Jaundice and excessive pruritus were the main complaints. One of the patients with cholecystoileocolonic anastomosis died of comorbid pathologies (cirrhosis, adhesive obstruction and severe sepsis). Temporary rectal bleeding was observed in all the patients postoperatively. Regardless of the surgical technique, pruritus was dramatically decreased in all the patients in the postoperative period. CONCLUSION Regardless of the technique, internal biliary diversion methods are beneficial for the relief of pruritus in PFIC patients. Selection of the surgical method might vary depending on the surgeons preference and the surgical anatomy of the gastrointestinal system of the patient.

Aim: To evaluate the indications, complications, and outcomes of temporary peritoneal dialysis (TPD) in children with acute renal failure (ARF). Patients and methods: All patients undergoing TPD between February 2006 and January 2011 in a children’s hospital were included in the study. Patient characteristics, indications, complications, and duration of TPD (DPD), requirement of re-operation, length of stay, presence of sepsis, and outcome were recorded. Results: There were 21 newborns (14 prematures), 9 infants, and 9 children. The main nephrotoxic agents were gentamicin (n = 7), netilmisin (n = 5), vancomycin (n = 3), and ibuprophen (n = 3). Patients with multiorgan failure (n = 9) had significantly higher blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels than those without multiorgan failure (n = 30) [BUN: 94 ± 27.3 vs. 34.3 ± 4.9) and creatinine: 4.1 ± 0.8 vs. 1.9 ± 0.2)]. The mean DPD was longer in mature patients than in prematures (newborn: 3.7; children: 7.1). Nine complications were observed (23%) (leakage in three and poor drainage in six patients). Twenty-five patients (64.1%) responded to TPD treatment and were discharged, and 14 patients (10 newborns and 7 of them were premature) died (35.9%). Mortality rate was higher in prematures (n = 7) and patients with a history of nephrotoxic agent (n = 10). Conclusion: TPD is effective especially in neonates with ARF and it is a reliable alternative to the hemodialysis or other continuous renal replacement therapies but it is not free of complications. It has limited effects, particularly in patients with multiorgan failure.
