Journal ArticleDOI

A prospective study of ventilator-associated pneumonia in children.

TL;DR: In mechanically ventilated, critically ill children, those with ventilator-associated pneumonia had a prolonged need for mechanical ventilation, a longer ICU stay, and a higher mortality rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Positive fluid balance is associated with higher mortality and prolonged mechanical ventilation in pediatric patients with acute lung injury.

TL;DR: Positive fluid balance was associated with a significant increase in both mortality and prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation, independent of the presence of multiple organ system failure and the extent of oxygenation defect.
Journal ArticleDOI

A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of arginine therapy for the treatment of children with sickle cell disease hospitalized with vaso-occlusive pain episodes.

TL;DR: Arginine is a safe and inexpensive intervention with narcotic-sparing effects that may be a beneficial adjunct to standard therapy for sickle cell-related pain in children, and a large multi-center trial is warranted in order to confirm these observations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of the hedgehog pathway in patients with basal-cell nevus syndrome: final results from the multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2 trial

TL;DR: The interim analysis of a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2 trial in patients with the basal-cell nevus (Gorlin) syndrome indicating that the smoothened inhibitor vismodegib reduces basal-cells carcinoma tumour burden and prevents new basal- cell carcinoma growth is reported.
