Intestinal failure (FI), new term for short bowel syndrome, is defined as intestinal incapacity in maintaining nutrition, hydroelectrolytic control and, in children, growth development. Thus, the patient becomes dependent on total parenteral nutrition (NPT) for their survival. The main causes of intestinal failure in children are congenital or acquired defects that can motivate large inte…
Several chronic liver diseases lead to development of hepatic fibrosis and progression to cirrhosis. In childhood, biliary obstruction caused by biliary atresia (BA) can lead to cirrhosis. When BA is diagnosed early, babies are submitted to Kasai portoenterostomy, however, even when patient becomes anicteric, cirrhosis continues to progress and liver transplantation is necessary. So, live…
Pediatric liver transplantation is considered a well-established therapeutic modality for treatment of progressive liver disease not subject to clinical management. With technical advances of liver transplants, continuing increase in the number of liver transplanted children weighing less than 10kg has occurred.

Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a vascular emergency requiring early diagnosis and intervention to prevent intestinal necrosis and death. AMI is classically characterized by poorly specific clinical, laboratory and radiological findings, which results in diagnostic difficulty contributing to high lethality (60-80%). In addition, it is a relevant complication of several conditions that …

Heart rate variability is one of the means of observing the interaction between sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. It is a tool used to describe the oscillations of the R-R wave intervals, in which the sinus node is responsible for the beginning of the heart beats and has an influence of the autonomic nervous system, and thus indirectly evaluates the autonomic cardiac modula…
