Introduction: Vision is critical in all aspects and stages of life. Myopia is the second cause of visual impairment worldwide and the prevalence of childhood myopia is increasing at an alarming rate, so a single treatment intervention is not sufficient and interventions that slow its progression should be combined. Objective: to determine the effect of atropine in 0.01% ophthalmic drops combined with optical correction interventions to slow the progression of childhood myopia. Methodology: a systematic review of articles published in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Ovid MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and EBSCOhost up to March 28, 2022, was performed. Meta-analysis was performed with a random-effects model by subgroups of interest. Results: eight studies were selected (six randomized clinical trials, one nonrandomized trial, and one cohort study), including a total of 6...

Establecer factores de riesgo para RCEU es relevante para disminuir su frecuencia, RCEU se define por peso ≤ percentil 10 del esperado para la edad gestacional corregida en las curvas de Fenton. Objetivo: Determinar si en prematuros el peso al nacer inferior a 1500 g está asociado con el desarrollo de restricción del crecimiento extrauterino HRDT período 2005 – 2015. Material y métodos: Estudio de cohortes histórica cerrada, incluyó 73 prematuros con peso al nacer <1500 g (grupo I) y 219 con peso ≥1500 g (grupo II), muestra con 95% de confianza, 80% de potencia, riesgo de expuestos 0.76 y razón 1:3. Se evalúo la asociación estimando RR con IC 95%. Resultados: Tuvieron RCEU 80.7% de pacientes del grupo I y 40.7% del grupo II. El RR del peso <1500 g para desarrollar RCEU al alta fue 1.989 IC 95% [1.636 – 2.417]. El modelo de regresión logística consideró significativo e...

Objective: To conduct a systematic review of tuberculous lymphadenitis cases in children published until April 2022. Material and methods: Case reports of tuberculous lymphadenitis by M. tuberculosis in children were searched in Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, LILACs, Ovid MEDLINE, EBSCO, and BMC Case Reports databases. Results: Forty-one reports were selected and a total of 46 patients were included. The majority were males (52,2%) of 8,5 (5-12) years old. The time of disease was 2 (1-5) months. The most frequent clinical manifestations were palpable lymphadenopathy (60,9%), fever (52,2%) and cough (26,1%). Weight loss (17,4%), scrofula (15,2%), respiratory distress (13%), hyporexia (13%), localized pain (13%), skin rash (13%), night sweats (4.3%), abdominal pain (4.3%) and jaundice (2,2%) were also founded. Cervical nodes were most frequently involved (71,4%). Only 17,4...
