Objectives To predict the risk of retinopathy prematurity (ROP) development according to routine complete blood count (CBC) parameters. Materials and Methods The medical records CBC results 150 premature neonates were retrospectively evaluated. As ROP develops 1 month after birth, first profiles without (non-ROP), with (ROP group), those Type 1, 2, Stage 1+2 compared. Besides known statistical methods like Student's t-test, logistic regression classification & tree (C&RT) analysis also done...
Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a significant cause of mortality and short- long-term morbidities. Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) has been shown to be the standard care for HIE infants ≥36 weeks gestational age (GA), as it demonstrated reduce rates mortality, adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. This study aims determine incidence in our country, assess TH management with HIE, present short-term outcomes these infants.The Turkish Ischemic Encephalopathy Online Registry database was...
Abstract Aim To assess the lung functions with impulse oscillometry (IOS) and spirometry in children type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

Abstract Background Few data are available concerning normative lung function parameters measured in unsedated neonates. Aim To evaluate changes Methods In this prospective cohort study, tidal breath were using the MasterScreen PAED system and standardized protocols. Measurements performed on 60 (30 male) term, healthy, neonates postnatal 2nd 30th days. Results Expiratory time (TE; p < .001; Cohen's d = 0.561), exhaled volume to peak expiratory flow (VPTEF; 0.789), minute ventilation (...
To explore the iodine status of lactating mother-newborn pairs, and whether neonatal serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) can be used for estimation population.A total 334 mothers their healthy neonates were included. Urine, serum, breast milk samples obtained at 4th 6th days delivery. Urinary concentration (UIC) was measured in urine neonates, as well (BMIC) thyroid levels from taken between after birth.Median age 27 years (23-30). The median UIC newborns 125 μg/L 142 μg/L, respectively....
The lung functions of children with obese asthma seem to be distinct from those or lean asthmatics.To measure baseline function, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), and bronchial hyperreactivity (BHR) in school-age asthmatics (OA group) compare the data (O group), (A healthy controls (H group).One hundred seventy were enrolled this prospective cross-sectional study. Baseline fractionated exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), baseline, post-exercise (post-E), post-bronchodilation (post-BD)...
Objective: To investigate early outcome of non-traumatic coma (NTC) in pediatric critical care relation to prognostic role clinical, electroencephalographic and neuro-radiological factors. Methods: A total 77 children (mean(SD) age: 70.5±68.7 months, 55.8% were boys) with acute encephalopathy NTC included this retrospective cross-sectional study. Data on patient demographics (age, gender, etiology NTC) four factors [Glasgow scores (GCS), pupillary light reflex (PLR), EEG cranial MRI...
Objective: We aimed to investigate lung functions using tidal breath analysis (TBA) in high-risk infants with recurrent wheezing. Methods: Lung measured TBA physician-diagnosed wheezing (≥3 episodes) who applied our institution between 2018-2020, were retrospectively analyzed. Infants assigned two groups: (n=30) and wheezy without high risk of atopy (n=33). Results: High-risk had lower mean values tPTEF, tPTEF: tE, VPTEF, VPTEF: VE than that atopy. There was no significant difference groups...
Aim: This study aims to assess white blood cell count, platelet and indices as a metabolic indicator in overweight, obese morbidly children. Materials Methods:One-hundred thirty 341 obese, 188 children 110 controls were enrolled the study.Anthropometric measurements, pubertal status, complete count parameters [white cells (WBC), platelet, mean volume (MPV), plateletcrit (PCT), distribution width (PDW)], WBC differential (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes), neutrophil/ lymphocyte ratio...
Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety isotonic hypotonic intravenous fluids in maintenance fluid therapy for term infants. Methods This a multi-centre, prospective, observational conducted 21 participating centres from December 30, 2020, June 2023. included newborns requiring parenteral (NCT04781361). treatment divided into two groups based on concentration sodium fluid, designated as (NaCl &lt;130 mmol/L) = 130–154 mmol/L). primary outcomes were...
The study aims to determine the normal values of thyroid volume and tracheal index in healthy term newborns born an iodine-sufficient population. Additionally, we investigated usability a handheld device for assessing index.
Objective: To evaluate the thiol/disulphide homeostasis and level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in saliva children with type 1 diabetes mellitus gingivitis. Methodology: Forty [DM] 40 systemically healthy [H]) were recruited for study. Based on children’ periodontal systemic health status, they divided into four subgroups: 1) periodontally (Hh), 2) gingivitis (Hg), 3) diabetic (DM+h), 4) (DM+g). Periodontal clinical parameters recorded. A new automated technique was used to...
Many factors are affecting intrauterine growth. The role of Wingless-type (Wnt) inducible signaling pathway protein-1 (WISP1), a novel adipokine and placental proteoglycans in growth, is not known.
