<title>Abstract</title> Background To compare some oxidative stress parameters between pediatric asthmatic individuals and healthy children, to investigate the relationship asthma severity control status with stress. Methods This case-control study was performed June–December 2016, including children controls. Asthmatic patients were classified according disease-control status. controls compared in terms of native thiol, total disulfide levels, disulfide/native thiol ratio, disulfide/total...

Childhood obesity is an important cause of cardiovascular risk with chronic inflammation. Oxidative stress may contribute to the pathogenesis obesity-related pathologies. We aimed evaluate thiol/disulphide homeostasis as a novel and sensitive marker oxidative its relationship some inflammatory markers in obese children.In this case-controlled study, 65 children exogenous 64 healthy children, control group, were included. In both groups, parameters (white blood cells, platelets, mean...

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is one of the most common chronic diseases in all age groups.

The prevalence AR shows wide variation throughout world, ranging 0.8 45%. rates for different regions Turkey ranges 2.9 44%. aim present review provide update on treatment diagnosis....

The aim of this study was to evaluate 2 new oxidative stress markers, thiol/disulfide homeostasis status and the asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) level, in children with acute appendicitis (AA) their diagnostic utility.This case-control included 45 patients AA 35 healthy children. Age, sex, white blood cell count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) ultrasonographic findings, parameters (native total thiol levels, native thiol/total ratios...

Abstract Salusins have emerged as a new biomarker that reflects an increased inflammatory state, which is associated with cardiovascular risk. We investigated the predictive value and usefulness of salusins in obese children. This prospective cohort study included 75 children 101 healthy (as control group). Salusin-α, Salusin-β, various parameters were assessed both groups. Correlation analyses Salusin-α Salusin-β body mass index standard deviation scores markers performed. The mean patient...

If an anaphylaxis episode is not caused by identifiable trigger, it defined as idiopathic anaphylaxis. Although rarely observed, clinically significant because of its morbidity and fatality risk. No effective treatment has been demonstrated to date. We report a girl aged 16 years who had malignant since the age 12 was treated successfully with omalizumab. she avoided allergic trigger foods such tomato seafood, used have these attacks twice week. Attacks were averted taking 60 mg prednisone....

Pentraxin 3 is an inflammatory mediator that may be associated with subclinical inflammation in atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. This study investigated the predictive value of pentraxin as biomarker overweight obese children.Participants were categorized into three groups: (n = 35), healthy controls 70). Cardiovascular parameters measured all participants.The mean level was significantly higher (10.23 ± 4.42 ng/ml) (11.20 4.12 groups compared to control (7.93 4.35 group....

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate performance a novel Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) method in rapid diagnosis GAS samples taken from children with prediagnosis tonsillopharyngitis by comparing culture and antigen test (RAT) methods.A total 100 throat swab at pediatrics outpatient clinic suspected were included study. Throat analyzed RAT, culture, LAMP method. colonies identified...

Echocardiography revealed systemic artery to pulmonary venous fistula, a rare vascular anomaly, in 20-month-old girl, and multislice computed tomography angiography (CTA) was performed rule out congenital heart disease. Normal bronchial connection vasculature were observed the lung. The fistula drained through left inferior vein atrium leading left-to-left shunt. Percutaneous intervention 2 stages using Amplatzer plugs close successfully.
