Ad ditional studies are required to identify different preschool asthma phenotypes and their evolution with treatment.
IOS shows alterations in a high percentage of preschoolers with uncontrolled asthma, which decreases significantly at one year, but remains altered and with BR + in most children. Ad ditional studies are required to identify different preschool asthma phenotypes and their evolution with treatment.
Globally, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), represents more than 30% of all types of cancers in children aged between 0 and 9 years. In Peru, it has not been evaluated whether exclusive breastfee ding (EB) is a protective factor for ALL.

To identify the protective and risk factors associa ted with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children aged between 0 and 13 years in a national hospital in Lima, Peru.

Observational, analytical study, case-control design. 112 cases diagnosed with ALL and 229 controls were evaluated. The data were collected by interviews with the mothers of both groups. The magnitude of the association between ALL and EB was estimated using the odds ratio (OR) and multivariate logistic regression in Stata v 12.

50.9% (57/112) of the cases and 51.5% (118/229) of the controls were male. The mean age of the cases was 6.7 ± 3.2 years and of the controls 5.7 ± 3.5 years. The mean age of the mothers of the cases was 35.9 ± 6.5 and of the controls was 34.1 ± 7.1 years. EB reduces the risk of ALL by 44% compared with those who did not receive it, OR 0.56, p = 0.017, 95% CI (0.35-0.90). Complete secondary education reduces the risk of ALL by 62%, OR 0.38 CI 95% (0.15-0.61).

Exclusive breastfeeding and the mother's complete secondary education are protective factors for the development of ALL in children and adolescents.

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental disorders of increasing prevalence. People with ASD have multiple health, education, and community needs, yet there is little information about their situation in Chile.

To learn about the demographic and clinical characteristics, caregiver's first concerns, and age of diagnosis of ASD individuals.

Participants were parents/caregivers of ASD persons, who answered the Caregiver Needs Survey, developed by Autism Speaks specifically for this purpose, and translated into Spanish. The survey is comprised of 4 sections demographic information, characteristics of the ASD individual, past and present use of Health and Education Services, and parents/caregivers' perceptions of satisfaction, impact, stigma, and quality of life. Data from the first two sections are reported in this paper.

The survey was answered by 291 caregivers (86% mothers) of 291 mostly male ASDs (89%), aged between 1-40 years (X 10.4 SD 6.1). The average age of parents' first concerns was 29.2m (SD 23.8) where the main ones were interaction difficulties (79.4%), unusual response to sensory stimuli (69.8%), behavioral problems (65.3%), unusual gestures/movements (64.3%), and lack of eye contact (63.6%). The ave rage age of diagnosis was 58m (SD 36.5), with an average delay of diagnosis of 29m. The diagnosis was most frequently made by pediatric neurologists (44.7%), child psychiatrists (19.2%), and pedia tricians (5.5%). The most frequent comorbidities were language impairment, cognitive deficit, and behavioral problems.

The late age of diagnosis of ASD and the large gap between the age of first concerns and diagnosis, represent a critical loss of treatment opportunities and jeopardize the chances of a better long-term outcome.

PDOC is defined as any disorder of consciousness that has continued for at least 4 weeks following sudden-onset brain injury. The PDOC includes the vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (EV/ UWS), and the minimally conscious state (MCS). Patients with PDOC lack of mental capacity to make decisions regarding their care and treatment, so these decisions have to be made for them based on their best benefits. These benefits may vary from patient to patient, between physicians, family, and the general public, creating conflict within their respective efforts to do what they belie ve is right for the patient. The diagnosis is based on clinical evaluations. These evaluations have an estimated misdiagnosis rate up to 45%, therefore they should be complemented with standardized clinical guidelines, and often with neuroimaging and neurophysiological studies. Other aspects that difficult the evaluation are variable definitions and subcategorizations of PDOC, among di fferent groups at the international level. The objective of this review is to present an update of the different types of PDOC, their definition, subcategorization, etiology, prognostic, comprehensive evaluation, and treatment in pediatrics, to contribute to the best clinical practice based on cu rrently available evidence.In the framework of the vaccination campaign against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the Chilean Ministry of Health requested advice from the Genetics Branch of the Chilean Society of Pediatrics, to define the level of prioritization for people with Down Syndrome . buy Tomivosertib A panel of geneticists worked on the development of this consensus, in which not only patients with Down syndrome were included, but the search was extended to patients with other types of disabilities, in both pediatric and adult ages in or der to contribute to the development of public health measures against the COVID-19 pandemic. The consensus concludes that, given the prevalence of comorbidities associated with Down syndrome, the higher incidence of cases with severe COVID-19 in this population group and a higher mortality, individuals with trisomy 21 should be considered as a high-risk population, and therefore, vaccina tion against SARS-CoV-2 should have a high priority for all people with Down syndrome regardless of their age (except for the age limit established by the clinical trials of each vaccine), and should be preceded only by the groups of health personnel and adults aged > 60-65 years.
