Pediatr. pro Praxi, 2005; 6: 291-294  

Constipation is a disease with higher prevalence in children than expected. The dietary habits, limited physical activity and psychosocial problems have contributed significantly to this problem. Defecation difficulties in children are mainly of functional character and often times present only with chronic or recurrent abdominal pain without an early diagnosis because information from parents is frequently inaccurate or even false. The lifestyle of modern families does not enable to follow “details” concerning frequency of bowel movements and problems with defecation. If the constipation is diagnosed and treated, mistakes leading to a recurrence...

MUDr. Jitka Škovránková

Pediatr. pro Praxi, 2005; 6: 295-296  

Patients with haematooncological and other tumors have immunodeficit some time after they finish the treatment. The deficit affects mainly the immunity against invasive bacterial diseases and this is the reason why a re-vaccination is recommended after 3–6 months interval with bacterial pneumococcal, Haemophillus B and Meningococcus C vaccines. Also the post-vaccination immunity is decreased, so we re-vaccinate against tetanus, whooping cough, polio and hepatitis B with inanimate vaccines according to the detected levels of post-vaccination antibodies. Vaccination with life vaccines is recommended after a minimum of 1–2 years after the...

CURRENT VIEW OF PATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND DIAGNOSIS OF MONOSYMPTOMATIC NOCTURNAL ENURESIS - PRINCIPLE OF THREE SYSTEMS

MUDr. Eva Radvanská, prof. MUDr. László Kovács DrSc., MPH

Pediatr. pro Praxi, 2005; 6: 297-300  

In our work we aimed to give actual information about the pathogenesis of monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE) according to the principle of “three systems”. Upon recent research opinion enuresis is caused by mismatch between nocturnal urinary production and bladder capacity together with inability to awake, when this occurs. Therefore the diagnostic procedures in MNE have to be lead towards identification of the primary cause of nocturnal enuresis. The finding, which of the “three systems” (nocturnal urinary production, bladder capacity and sleep) is the most responsible for MNE in a concrete patient, will help to select...

MUDr. Štěpánka Průhová Ph.D, prof. MUDr. Jan Lebl CSc

Pediatr. pro Praxi, 2005; 6: 305-309  

Up to the end of 20th century type 1 diabetes mellitus was considered to be the only important cause of hyperglycemia in children and adolescents. Although this type of diabetes remains the essential part of everyday clinical practice in pediatric diabetology we learn to recognize other causes of mild hyperglycemia in children and adolescent patients. Nowadays differential diagnostics of asymptomatic hyperglycemia in children and adolescents includes various conditions as follows: 1. presymptomatic phase of type 1 diabetes mellitus, 2. type 2 diabetes mellitus, 3. genetic syndromes including diabetes mellitus (for example DIDMOAD syndrome), 4. autosomal-dominant...

The nuclear medicine methods are more functionally oriented than other imaging procedures. An adequate co-operation of the child is an important prerequisite for a successful radionuclide examination. Nevertheless, sometimes the administration of sedatives is inevitable. The spectrum of nuclear medicine methods used in paediatrics reflects the incidence of diseases during childhood. Bone scintigraphy, scintigraphy of inflammations and tumours, as well as examinations of the uropoetic and gastrointestinal tracts are the most frequently practised radionuclide procedures in young patients. Positron emission tomography is regularly performed in children...
