Atrezie de esofag – grup

 

Acest grup este doar pentru parinti care au un copil nascut cu atrezie de esofag. Este un grup inchis ca sa putem discuta intre noi despre problemele care ne preocupa, pentru a impartasi experienta cu scopul de a ajuta.

Pentru ceilalti exista Pagina: Atrezie de esofag unde la fel raspundem la intrebari…dar nu dorim sa facem publica suferinta copiilor nostrii.

Grupul nostru ne-a ajutat să gândim pozitiv, văzând că sunt atât de multe cazuri cu un final fericit. De asemenea, ne-a ajutat să găsim răspunsurile pe care le căutam. Multe mulțumiri administratorilor! Țineți-o tot așa!

Our group helped us to think positively seeing that are so many cases with a happy ending. Also, it has helped us to find the answers that we were looking after. Many thanks to the admins! Keep up the good work!

As a mother who’s child was born with esophageal atresia I decided to create this group on Facebook so that moms and dads could share our own experiences with our kids and why not?
share tips and opinions and support each other … ..

Feingold syndrome type 1 (FS1) is a very rare genetic disorder affecting many parts of the body.

Individuals with the condition are typically born with a blockage in part of their digestive system, have unusual fingers and toes, a smaller than average head size and learning disability.

Feingold syndrome has also been called Oculodigitoesophagoduodenal syndrome or ODED syndrome (oculo-eyes, digito-fingers and toes, esophagus – food pipe, duodenal – a part of the small intestine).
The signs and symptoms of FS1 vary between individuals with the condition.

The physical signs include some differences with the fingers and toes. There can be shortening of part of the second and fifth fingers (brachymesophalangy), little fingers that curve inwards (clinodactyly), underdeveloped thumbs (thumb hypoplasia) and fusion (syndactyly) of the second and third or the fourth and fifth toes.

A frequent problem associated with the condition is a blockage in part of the digestive system (gastrointestinal atresia) that is present at birth. For most people, the blockage occurs in the food pipe that goes from the mouth to the stomach (esophageal atresia) or in part of the small bowel (duodenal atresia).

Other common features of the condition include an unusually small head size (microcephaly), a small jaw (micrognathia), narrow opening of the eyelids (short palpebral fissures), and mild to moderate learning disability.
Less often, people with the condition have hearing loss, restricted growth, anomalies of the bones of the spine (vertebrae) and kidney and heart abnormalities.

FS1 is considered to be very rare with about 120 cases reported worldwide (2014)

Some of the Admin hold two USA Medical Papers in this area a Medicine Group also has links to world Surgeons

Hello. We ( Cure TBM) is just finishing up our end of the year letter to release. It is so exciting to see all that was accomplished in 2019, We were awarded 2019 Top non-profit, we, because of you, we’re able to say “yes” to five research projects that will give better understanding into causes of TBM, easier diagnoses and also, we are supporting the first-ever gene study of patients with airway malacia. This is SO exciting. We also were able to send out dozens of pieces of much needed medical equipment to children and adults. We started our medical equipment exchange project, inpatient family support, and finally were able to get to print informational cards for both the pediatric and adult patients. What a year!! A lot of our funding comes from FB fundraising..That means you. So many of you have so kindly and generously used your Birthday as a means to raise money for CureTBM.org

If you are new to this group or new to me. Please hop on our website and learn about our foundation. You can also read and watch my story there. I am an adult, pediatric RN that is living with airway malacia in spite of three major surgeries to try to repair it. I now run the foundation full time along with our board. If you have a birthday coming up, would you consider Cure TBM and consider doing a Birthday fundraiser for us? Every dollar goes toward our goals. Every person on staff is a volunteer. We have big plans for 2020 and we need your help. If I can answer any questions for you, please let me know. 

Tracheobronchomalacia, or TBM for short, is a softening (malacia) of the trachea (windpipe) and bronchi (passageways into the lungs). When these areas are weak they often collapse, making the airway very narrow and causes breathing difficulties for patients. There are two forms of TBM, primary tracheobronchomalacia, which is seen in pediatric patients, and secondary tracheobronchomalacia which is seen in adults.

​

Symptoms of TBM include persistent cough, inability to clear secretions, difficulty breathing (specifically exhaling, or breathing out), chronic infections, “barking” cough and low oxygen levels. TBM has previously been thought to be a rare medical condition when in reality, the condition is under/misdiagnosed.
