Congenital diaphragmatic hernia

05/01/2014 - "In fetuses with isolated congenital diaphragmatic hernia and severe pulmonary hypoplasia, fetal endoscopic tracheal occlusion has shown to improve the survival probabilities from 5% to 55% and from 1% to 33% in left and right congenital diaphragmatic hernia, respectively, and a decrease in the rate of pulmonary hypertension and neonatal morbidity. "
01/01/2009 - "Persistent pulmonary hypertension patients had improved outcomes with decreased costs, whereas congenital diaphragmatic hernia patients had unchanged outcomes with increased costs. "
01/01/2015 - "Prediction of neonatal respiratory function and pulmonary hypertension in fetuses with isolated congenital diaphragmatic hernia in the fetal endoscopic tracleal occlusion era: a single-center study."
04/01/2005 - "Although findings of retrospective studies in infants with respiratory distress syndrome, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn have been similar to those of the animal studies, prospective, randomized, controlled trials have yielded conflicting results. "
03/01/2004 - "The aim of this study was to investigate the ACE I/D genotype, the M235 T polymorphism of the AGT gene and the A1166 C polymorphism of AT1R in the lungs of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) complicated by persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPH) in the newborn. "

09/01/1998 - "Improvement in oxygenation was less significant and sustained (OI=41+/-16 vs 28+/-18, P < .001) in term neonates with meconium aspiration syndrome and much less (OI=58+/-25 vs 46+/-32, P < .01) in those with congenital diaphragmatic hernia. "
03/01/2014 - "Most commonly, PPHN is secondary to delayed or impaired relaxation of the pulmonary vasculature associated with diverse neonatal pulmonary pathologies, such as meconium aspiration syndrome, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and respiratory distress syndrome. "
07/01/2013 - "Five-year survival estimates conditional on being alive at 90 days were highest for meconium aspiration syndrome 97.9% (95% CI, 92.0-99.5%) and lowest for congenital diaphragmatic hernia 73.6% (52.3-86.5%). "
12/01/2012 - "A significant volume of trapped air was observed in 86% patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, 50% with meconium aspiration syndrome and 58% with other diagnoses. "
11/01/2011 - "Primary diagnoses were meconium aspiration syndrome (n=66), congenital diaphragmatic hernia (n=18) and other diagnoses (n=36). "

12/01/1999 - "Predictors of survival are helpful when deciding on aggressiveness of care of neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia and respiratory failure. "
12/01/2014 - "Pulmonary hypoplasia (PH), characterized by alveolar immaturity, is one of the leading causes of respiratory insufficiency in newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). "
04/01/2014 - "Even though new alternatives for management of hypoxemic respiratory failure in full term and almost full term neonates have decreased its use, congenital diaphragmatic hernia continues being a complex disease where it can have some applicability. "
02/01/2014 - "We determined these outcomes in 57 young adults, treated for neonatal respiratory failure; 27 of them had congenital diaphragmatic hernia with lung hypoplasia (group 1) and 30 had normal lung development (group 2). "
04/01/2012 - "Congenital diaphragmatic hernia, Respiratory insufficiency, Radiological features, Good surgical outcome."

01/05/2009 - "The patient's condition deteriorated, a life-threatening state of sepsis developed and she was transferred to a surgery facility where an incarcerated congenital diaphragmatic hernia was established. "
07/01/1997 - "Right-to-left PDA flow, sepsis, and congenital diaphragmatic hernia were associated with a poorer ECMO outcome. "
11/01/1998 - "Late presentation of congenital diaphragmatic hernia in association with group B streptococcal sepsis and meningitis."
07/01/1995 - "Unusual findings are also reported: among 34 infants with early-onset infection, the congenital diaphragmatic hernia was associated with GBS septicemia in two neonates; beads of perspiration were the first only clinical finding in one neonate too. "
07/01/1993 - "Associated diagnoses included meconium aspiration syndrome (3 patients), sepsis (3 patients), and congenital diaphragmatic hernia (2 patients). "

11/01/2014 - "Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a very common intrathoracic fetal anomaly with Morgagni hernia typically seen on right side anteriorly and Bochdalek hernia on left side posteriorly, because of the protective effects of liver and heart on either side respectively. "
04/01/2014 - "This study evaluated the usefulness of a Bochdalek hernia rabbit model as a tool for advanced thoracoscopic training, teaching the specific skills required for thoracoscopic repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia. "
11/08/2013 - "We conducted this study to assess the value of presence of hernia sac in prediction of postoperative outcome in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). "
06/01/2013 - "The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the presence of a hernia sac and fetal lung growth and outcomes in infants with Congenital, Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). "
08/01/2000 - "The aim of this study was to review all available studies reported in the English-language literature from 1975 through 1998, and by meta-analysis assess the importance of prenatal diagnosis, associated malformations, side of hernia, timing of surgery, and study population on mortality rates in patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).
