  • Antibiotic Resistance Trends in Recurrent Paediatric Urinary Tract Infections

    Open AccessO Stanciu, Mircea Andriescu et al.ARTICLEChildren2025

    Background : Recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs) in children are increasingly complicated by antimicrobial resistance, leading to limited treatment options and challenging prophylactic management. Continuous local monitoring of resistance trends is essential for evidence-based stewardship. Methods : This retrospective study analysed recurrent paediatric UTI recorded between 2020 and 2024 at a tertiary hospital in Romania. Data were extract…

  • Cholecystectomy in Children

    Open AccessRadu Bălănescu, Andreea Moga et al.ARTICLEChildren2025

    Elective or delayed cholecystectomy after a "cool-down" period of 5-14 days provides the most favorable outcomes in pediatric patients with complicated cholelithiasis. Conservative management remains appropriate for asymptomatic cases. A standardized approach to surgical timing may reduce complications and hospital costs

  • Hypertriglyceridemia Induced Acute Pancreatitis Caused by a Novel Lipc Gene Variant in a Pediatric Patient

    Open AccessLaura Bălănescu, Ancuta Cardoneanu et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    Hypertriglyceridemia induced acute pancreatitis is a rare cause of pancreatitis in children. Hepatic lipase deficiency is an extremely rare cause of hypertriglyceridemia, reported in only a few families to date. Hepatic lipase is the enzyme involved in the hydrolysis of triglycerides and phospholipids in remnants of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins that have a role in the conversion of very low density lipoprotein remnants to low density lipoprotei…

  • Role of Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis of Wilms’ Tumour

    Open AccessRadu Bălănescu, Alexandru Emil Băetu et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    Ultrasound has been shown to be effective in detecting the rupture of the renal capsule, tumour calcifications and invasion of the renal vein, pelvis and ureter. However, ultrasound cannot replace CT in the detection of lymphadenopathy and the invasion of adjacent organs

  • Association of Image-Defined Risk Factors with Clinical, Biological Features and Outcome in Neuroblastoma

    Open AccessLaura Bălănescu, Balanescu Laura et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    Background: Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common pediatric extracranial solid tumor and the most common cancer encountered in children younger than 12 months of age. Localized tumors have a good prognosis, but some cases undergo treatment failure and recurrence. The aim of the study was to analyze the link between the neuroblastoma risk factors and the prognosis for patients diagnosed with NB. Method: All patients admitted to the department of P…

  • Dysplasia Epiphysealis Hemimelica (Trevor’s Disease) in Children, Two New Cases

    Open AccessAdelina Ionescu, Bogdan A Popescu et al.ARTICLEChildren2021

    Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica (DEH), also known as Trevor's disease, is a rare nonhereditary skeletal disorder affecting one side of the epiphyses or the epiphyses-equivalents. It is often misdiagnosed for traumatic injuries, infections, or other tumors because of the nonspecific clinical features. The diagnosis is mostly based on radiographic involvement of one half of the epiphysis displaying an overgrowth; it is hard to distinguish between…
