During the last decades of the burn trauma occurs to shift the nature of the mechanism of burns and also to changes within individual age groups burned. Like in western countries currently thankfully we are shrinking extensive burns in the pediatric population. But on the other hand, are more and more lighter burns, especially scalds. The average age of burns is also reduced. Also increasing scalds in children at an early toddlers. In the case report, however, we present a burn, which evades those factors.

The majority of the body potassium is distributed in the intracellular space, and of which about 80% is in skeletal muscle. Movement of potassium in and out of skeletal muscle thus plays a pivotal role in extracellular potassium homeostasis. Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is a potentially lethal and rare complication of hyperthyroidism characterized by recurrent muscle weakness and hypokalemia. Acidobasic status is not impaired, however hypomagnesemia and hypophosphatemia may be also present. The diagnosis of TPP is confirmed on the basis of abnormal thyroid hormones. We describe a case of 17-year-old male who presented with acute onset weakness...

Mgr. Jaroslava Fendrychová, Ph.D.

Pediatr. praxi. 2016;17(6):387-389 | DOI: 10.36290/ped.2016.088

The article deals with the infant´s need to suck not only for the reason of feeding but also for the reason of self-pacification, self-satisfaction or pain relief. This can be achieved by giving the baby a pacifier, the advantages and disadvantages of which are documented in the article on the basis of earlier foreign research. It could lead to a conclusion that the problem whether to give a pacifier to an infant or not has already been resolved in western countries, but in our country, we are still at the beginning of the solution. So far, the opinion not to give the pacifier is prevailing, the main reason being the fear that the infant will not learn...

prof. MUDr. Vladimír Mihál, CSc., prof. MUDr. František Kopřiva, Ph.D., MUDr. Stanislav Losse, MUDr. Kamila Michálková

Pediatr. praxi. 2016;17(6):384-386 | DOI: 10.36290/ped.2016.087

Asphyxiation by an inhaled foreign body is a leading cause of accidental death among children younger than 4 years. Bronchoscopy remains the gold standard for the diagnosis and removal of airway foreign bodies. Size, shape, surface, and structure of an foreign body play a pivotal role in its successful removal. Diagnosis may be delayed for several reasons. We present a case of nectarine stalk aspiration in the right bronchus intermedius of a 18-month-old child and our approach during its delayed removal.
