Abstract:

Aim of the Study: assessing the viability of post-orchiectomy active surveillance approach for testicular germ cells tumors.

Methods: we analyzed 52 patients who underwent surgery for testicular germ cell tumors from 2009 to 2014. The patients were divided by age in Group A (12 patients, age 0-14) and group B (40 patients, age 16-39). Inguinal orchiectomy was performed in all patients. Retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy was performed with orchiectomy in 4 patients (7.7%). Post-surgical management differed based on clinical stage and active surveillance or adjuvant therapy  was carried out.

Main Results: After an average 7 year follow-up, the overall survival rate is 100% and, to date, all of our patients are still alive. 2 years after surgery we recorded a total of 11 relapses (21,1%). 3 (12%) of them occurred in patients followed with active surveillance, while 8 (29,6%) of them occurred in patients who underwent active treatment.

Conclusions: we observed an excellent prognosis in both age groups and this confirms that testicular germ cell tumors are curable. We believe that active surveillance is an optimal option for tumors at Stage I, because of their low risk of relapse. However, post-surgical treatment should be taken into consideration for germ cells tumors with risk factors.

Abstract:

Pediatric malnutrition means the intake of calories and/or nutrients more or less than the requirements of the body. It is clinically presented in two main categories which are over-nutrition and under-nutrition. Overnutrition means the intake of calories more than the body needs. It leads to overweight and obesity which, if left untreated, may cause overweight-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Full medical, family and dietary history should be taken. Investigations should be done. Referral to a specialist to treat any underlying disease, Guide the parents to make their child adapts healthy options. Under-nutrition means the intake of calories and/or nutrients less than the body needs. It may cause failure to thrive which means failure to increase properly in weight and/or height. Failure to thrive includes three types which are organic, non-organic and mixed. Organic type is due to any organic disease such as celiac disease, cystic fibrosis. Non-organic type is due to wrong interactions between the caregiver and the child such as misinterpretation of hunger and satiety cues. Mixed type has both organic and non-organic elements. Failure to thrive can be diagnosed by taking full medical history, investigations for any possible organic disease and/or drug involved. Detailed dietary history should be taken. Physical examination for any signs of malnutrition, Measuring weight and height and plotting them on growth charts. Failure to thrive can be treated by treating any involved disease and making a referral if needed. Guide the parents towards the wrong behaviour, if any, and how to correct it. Any child who is malnourished or at risk should be promptly referred to a Pediatric nutrition specialist

Abstract:

There is a steady rise in the number of individuals with type 1 diabetes now, previously known as Juvenile diabetes or Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM). Nutritional management is one of the cornerstones of diabetes care and education. Dietary recommendations for children with diabetes are based on healthy eating recommendations suitable for all children and adults and therefore, the entire family, A guide to the distribution of macronutrients, Carbohydrate 45% to 55% energy, Moderate sucrose intake (up to 10% total energy), Fat 30% to 35% energy, <10% saturated fat + trans fatty acids, Protein 15% to 20% energy Carbohydrate requirements in children and adolescents are individually determined based on age, gender, activity and previous intake. Clinical evidence suggests that individuals typically consume 45% to 50% energy from carbohydrate and can achieve optimal postprandial glycemic control with appropriately matched insulin to carbohydrate ratios and insulin delivery. Healthy sources of carbohydrate foods should be encouraged to minimize glycemic excursions and improve dietary quality. Addition of a moderate amount of protein to a meal containing predominantly carbohydrate can assist in reducing postprandial excursions. Substituting low-Glycemic Index (GI) for High-GI carbohydrate and increasing dietary fiber intake are other useful dietary option. Sucrose can provide up to 10% of total daily energy intake. A more flexible approach using individualized insulin to carbohydrate ratios (ICR), which enables the pre-prandial insulin dose to be matched to carbohydrate intake, should be used for children and adolescents on intensive insulin therapy. The ICR is individualized for each child according to age, sex, pubertal status, duration of diagnosis and activity. Although this method increases flexibility of the meal timing and the carbohydrate amount, mealtime routines and dietary quality remain important, for high fat and highprotein meals, combination bolus with sufficient insulin upfront to control the initial postprandial rise is needed. Pre- and post-prandial blood glucose testing at 3, 5 and 7 hours or continuous glucose monitoring systems can be useful in guiding insulin adjustments and evaluating the outcomes of changes to the insulin dose or timing
