During the last five years our University has incorporated a subject called “Childhood, Health and Nutrition” into is official Education program. The aim of this matter is to promote disease prevention in children, there by improving their current health status and safe guarding their future adult life [1-5]. Objectives To offer basic knowledge about the biology, psychology and sociology of child health at different pediatricages: infant, pre-scholar, scholar and adolescent. To provide future teachers and educators with the knowledge and practical skills to encourage healthylifestyle habits and positive attitudes in children, with a special emphasis on the importance of nutrition and physical exercise in order to prevent chronic

Juniper Publishers - Journal of Pediatrics Abstract Introduction: AMS after a single IM dose of dexamethasone is very rare. And till now no one has reported similar case, on the other side the chronic myopathy induced by high IV corticosteroids is not unusual. Case presentation: A 3 years old female had acute myopathy with rhabdomylosis after a single dose of steroid with rapid improvement after discontinued the medication Conclusion: In spite of that our case is rare; the physician should pay attention while using steroids, especially when clinical situation and laboratory tests are highly suspicious.

Juniper Publishers - Journal of Pediatrics Neonatal lung abscess A baby girl was born at 23+4 weeks by precipitate delivery following spontaneous onset of labour and PROM of 121 hours. Mum had received a course of antenatal steroids. Following two unsuccessful trials of extubation on day 7 and 12, she had a significant cardio respiratory deterioration on day 14. She was started on second line antibiotics. Her CRP went up to 20 and her platelet count dropped to 51. Her chest x ray showed a large bullous emphysematous lesion occupying almost all of her right middle lobe (Figure 1 & 2). She became increasingly difficult to ventilate with worsening acidosis, hypotension and hyperglycemia despite maximizing intensive care support. Following discussion with her parents, her care was redirected to a palliative course. Post mortem examination of lungs revealed widespread collections of neutrophils / abscesses consistent with congenital pneumonia with abscess (seen as

Juniper Publishers - Journal of Pediatrics Abstract Background: Portopulmonary hypertension (PPHTN) is a distinct pulmonary vascular complication of portal hypertension. There is no much information on PPHTN occurring in children. Detection of PPHTN at an early stage requires systematic screening at regular intervals by echocardiography (ECHO) in children with portal hypertension. Aim of the work: to study the frequency of PPHTN in children attending Assiut University Children Hospital with esophageal and/ or fundal varices, to measure serum levels of Human N-Terminal Pro B-type Naturetic Peptide (NT-proBNP) and to evaluate its correlation with the occurrence of pulmonary hypertension in these children. Patients and methods: This cross sectional study included 40 children with portal hypertension and 20 controls. All children with portal hypertension underwent Pulse oximetry and echocardiographic studies (ECHO). Serum levels NT-proBNP was measured in all cases
