Publication De Novo Robertsonian Translocation t(21; 21) in a Child with Down Syndrome(Nepal Paediatric Society (JNPS), 2017) Israni, Anil Vasudev; Mandal, AnirbanAbstract: The phenotypic expression in DS is determined by the type of underlying cytogenetic abnormality. Almost 90-95% cases of DS are due to pure trisomy of the 21st chromosome; 6-7% is the result of mosaicism and in only 3-5% of cases it results from Robertsonian translocation (ROB). About 1/3rd cases of unbalanced Robertsonian translocation causing DS are inherited. We report a 1-year-old-boy with DS secondary to rea(21;21) ROB.Publication Hypopituitarism: A Very Rare Cause of Dilated Cardiomyopathy in a Child(Nepal Paediatric Society (JNPS), 2017) Mandal, Anirban; Singh, AmitabhAbstract: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP), the leading type of cardiomyopathy in children, can be either a primary disease or secondary to a host of pathologies. Endocrine diseases are an extremely rare cause of DCMP in children. Hypopituitarism (congenital or acquired), a rare condition in children, may present in a variety of phenotypes depending on the hormonal deficiency (partial vs. pan hypopituitarism) and associated developmental defects. We describe a 10 year old boy with short stature, severely retarded bone age and congestive cardiac failure (CCF). He was diagnosed to have DCMP with hypopituitarism. Review of literature reveal possible mechanisms of DCMP and CCF in hypopituitarism and probably also indicate favorable response to hormonal replacement therapy.Publication Neonatal Leukemoid Reaction: Correspondence(Nepal Paediatric Society (JNPS), 2017) Mandal, Anirban; Sahi, Puneet KaurAbstract: To the Editor, We read with much interest the article by Bhatia et al., published in the recent issue of your journal [1] but at the same time would like to make the following comments, clarification to which would benefit the general readers of JNPS.Publication Saccharomyces boulardii in Acute Childhood Diarrhoea(Nepal Paediatric Society (JNPS), 2017) Mandal, Anirban; Sahi, Puneet KaurAbstract: To the Editor, We read with much interest the article by Dash et al., published in the recent issue of your journal [1] but at the same time would like to make the following comments, clarification to which would benefit the general readers of JNPS.Publication Vitamin K Deficiency Beyond Neonatal Period: Correspondence(Nepal Paediatric Society (JNPS), 2017) Mandal, Anirban; Sahi, Puneet KaurNA
