    Open AccessMassimo Mapelli, Paola Zagni et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    We demonstrated the feasibility of an echocardiographic screening for RHD in an orphanage in Uganda. A few factors, such as good clinical and hygienic care, the availability of antibiotics and closeness to a big hospital, may account for the low prevalence of the disease in our population

  • Unexpected Huge Prevalence of Intracardiac Extension of Wilms Tumor—A Single Center Experience from a Ugandan Hospital

    Open AccessMassimo Mapelli, Paola Zagni et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

Data on WT clinical presentation and outcome in developing countries are limited.

Mood disorders and anxiety influence the response to stress, through a gain of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and an increase…
