4. Longitudinal Study of the Developmental Kindergarten Program in the Glen Cove City School District.

Author

Pipitone, Salvatore A.

Abstract

Pre-Kindergarten children's diagnostic screening and standardized test scores from 1979 to 1984 were analyzed to compare the school achievement of children placed in a developmental kindergarten program (DKP) with children given regular instruction. Of 475 subjects, 81 participated in a DKP, while 394 did not. Statistical analyses were performed to determine the overall significant difference between the two groups on current reading and mathematics scores, to identify which of 10 variables best predicted children's future performance as measured by the Scott Foresman Reading and Math Subtests, and to determine how much variance in current reading and math scores is explained by individual variables used in the screening. Screening variables were sex, grade, year screened, treatment group, number of years in school, intelligence quotient, readiness survey total, language development, visual motor development, and gross motor development. Findings suggested that (1) the placement of children in the developmental program was quite adequate; (2) for prediction purposes, the Readiness Survey Total is a very good screening instrument; and (3) children placed in the DKP were still not on a par with those not so placed.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Noncompaction of left ventricular myocardium is a rare congenital cardiomyopathy resulting from an incomplete myocardial morphogenesis that leads to the persistence of the embryonic myocardium. This condition is characterized by a thin compacted epicardial and an extremely thickened endocardial layer with prominent trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses. It is not clear, in noncompaction of myocardium, whether intertrabecular recesses could be responsible for thrombi formation and thromboembolic complications. METHODS: The prevalence of stroke and echocardiographic finding of thrombus was evaluated in a continuous series of 229 patients (men and women) affected by noncompaction of the left ventricular myocardium, who were included in the SIEC registry. We excluded patients affected by atrial fibrillation. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 49.5 years. Fifty percent of the patients were affected by a ventricular systolic dysfunction. The mean period of follow-up was 7.3 years. Only four patients had a history of ischemic stroke. A large thrombus into the left ventricular chamber was observed in a 1-year-old child affected by Behcet's disease (high risk of thrombi formation). CONCLUSION: Noncompaction of the left ventricular myocardium, by itself, does not seem to be a risk factor for stroke or embolic results, so there is no indication for oral anticoagulant therapy. © 2008 Italian Federation of Cardiology.

Abstract

Background: Isolated left ventricular noncompaction is the result of incomplete myocardial morphogenesis, leading to persistence of the embryonic myocardium. The condition is recognised by an excessively prominent trabecular meshwork and deep intertrabecular recesses of the left ventricle. Whether these intertrabecular recesses are a favorable substrate for supraventricular arrhythmias is unclear, even if the incidence of chronic heart failure seems to be high. Results: We evaluated a continuous series of 238 patients affected by noncompaction. In 4 cases the patients reported palpitations and in 4 an episode of syncope. Periodic holter monitoring was performed every 6 months for 4 years. Only 9 patients had documented atrial fibrillation. In no cases we observed supraventricular tachycardia. Conclusions: Noncompaction alone does not seem to be a risk factor for supraventricular arrhythmias. © 2007 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

29. Apical ventricular septal defect with reverse bidirectional transseptal flow: a sign of restriction within the right ventricle.

Abstract

Apical ventricular septal defects (VSD) may spontaneously become restricted or may even close following tissue outgrowth within the right ventricle in the region of the apical muscle bundles. We report a case of spontaneous restriction of an apical VSD localized within the right ventricle in the region of prominent apical trabeculae, in which pulsed Doppler interrogation showed an unusual pattern of bidirectional blood flow across the VSD, with right to left flow in systole and left to right in diastole. Angiography confirmed these unusual aspects. This reverse bidirectional transseptal flow is due to the physiological incorporation of the apical part of the right ventricular cavity in the left ventricle and may be, in the absence of right outflow obstruction, a sign of restriction of the VSD inside the right ventricle.

Abstract

Background: Isolated noncompaction of the left ventricular myocardium, a rare congenital disorder, is thought to be due to an arrest of myocardial morphogenesis. It is characterized by an excessively prominent trabecular meshwork and by deep intertrabecular recesses. The aim of this study was to clarify the late outcome of this malformation, reporting our experience on 5 pediatric patients observed for a period of 11 years., Methods: We describe the clinical, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic findings of 5 pediatric cases, with an age ranging from 1 month to 10 years. The mean follow-up was 4.5 years (> 10 years in 1 patient)., Results: In no case did life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias or systemic embolic events occur. Four patients who developed heart failure have been submitted to digoxin, diuretic, angiotensin-converting enzyme and anticoagulant therapy. One of them is still asymptomatic and in good health. One patient died while on the waiting list for cardiac transplantation., Conclusions: The appropriate and early diagnosis and treatment of this disorder can improve the outcome even though further studies will be needed to elucidate its long-term prognosis. At the same time, in view of the high incidence of a positive family history, evaluation of all members of the family is warranted.

Abstract

Background: Fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma is very rare; despite the fact that many cases and series have been reported, the clinical presentation, the natural history and the frequency with which this pathology is associated with tuberous sclerosis complex are not well determined. The aim of this investigation was to study the clinical features and the natural history of cardiac rhabdomyoma when diagnosed during prenatal life., Methods: Nine cases of cardiac rhabdomyoma detected among 5276 fetal echocardiograms recorded over a 10-year period in a single center were retrospectively reviewed. Medical records and echocardiograms were studied to determine the prenatal and postnatal course and outcome., Results: The incidence of cardiac rhabdomyoma in our center was 0.17%. The gestational age at diagnosis ranged from 27 to 36 weeks. The most common reason for fetal echocardiography was an abnormal obstetric ultrasound scan (6/9 cases). In no case was there a family history of tuberous sclerosis. In one case, the tumor was single whereas in 8 cases multiple tumors were diagnosed. During prenatal life the majority of tumors were clinically silent. One fetus died of hydrops and arrhythmia. Four children presented with arrhythmia postnatally and one required surgery. At a mean follow-up of 47 months, total or partial regression was observed in 7 patients. Seven patients developed postnatal clinical signs of tuberous sclerosis., Conclusions: Fetal cardiac rhabdomyomas are often benign and have a tendency to regress, but their prognosis is guarded due to very frequent association with arrhythmias and tuberous sclerosis. During prenatal counseling, it is of utmost importance to inform the future parents of the virtually constant perspective of tuberous sclerosis complex.
