Purpose Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic and immune-mediated disease, which characterized by the progressive destruction of pancreatic beta cells. T1DM precipitates in genetically susceptible individuals through environmental factors. In this study, we aimed to evaluate impact autoimmunity intestinal colonization Candida albicans on development T1DM. Methods Forty-two patients newly diagnosed with 42 healthy subjects were included monocentric study. The basic clinical...

Abstract Speckle-tracking echocardiography is a recently developed technique for the evaluation of myocardial deformation or strain. Our objective was to examine strain through mid-term follow-up patients with Kawasaki disease. Methods We explored left ventricular mechanics using speckle-tracking in 35 history disease at least 6 months after acute phase. also included 30 healthy children as controls. Strain data sets were acquired quantification global strain, segmental and ejection...

Galactosemia is a carbohydrate metabolism disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance. The most frequent enzyme deficiency galactose-1-phosphate-uridylytransferase, which causes classic galactosemia. When the absent, an infant cannot metabolize galactose-1-phosphate and it cumulates in liver, kidney, brain, tongue, lens, skin. This study aimed to evaluate clinical molecular characteristics of patients galactosemia, observed more frequently our country than anywhere else world.This...

Aim Over the past 2 decades, transcatheter occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with coils and duct occluders evolved to be procedure choice. A new device, Occlutech PDA® occluder (ODO) device has been designed. Herein, we aimed evaluate characteristics short‐term results patients who underwent closure PDA using ODO. Methods We reviewed clinical records 60 from different centers in Turkey between December 2013 January 2016. The medical were for demographic echocardiographic findings....

Aortic arch anomalies refer to congenital malformations of position or branching pattern the aortic arch. To-date, only a few small studies have documented prenatal detection anomalies. In this article, we share our experience in detecting Foetal echocardiograms, clinic and genetic histories 33 patients who had been diagnosed with anomaly from 2007 2015 were reviewed. 15 patients, right mirror image branching; 13 left ductus arteriosus aberrant subclavian artery; three one patient bilateral...

Abstract A young child presented with hepatomegaly, ascites and bradycardia in the setting of COVID-19. Permanent complete atrioventricular block severe right heart failure were diagnosed. He was treated surgical epicardial pacemaker implantation. This report is first description COVID-19-induced permanent a child.

Transcatheter closure of a multi-hole perimembranous ventricular septal defect with an aneurysm is challenging. Specific devices have been developed, but some occluders are reportedly used in off-label manner. This report describes child who had and underwent successful transcatheter using two different occluders: the Occlutech Duct Occluder (Occlutech, Helsingborg, Sweden) Amplatzer II (St. Jude Medical, Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States America). these can be performed safely by...

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is a rhythm disorder that develops due to genetic reasons in the absence of structural cardiac abnormalities.Ventricular tachycardia, fibrillation, arrest, and death may occur.Two-year-old patient presented Emergency Department with sudden arrest.He had syncope attacks after playing his brother he was followed up by pediatric neurology cardiology clinics.Cardiopulmonary resuscitation performed, then transferred Intensive Care Unit because...

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is an abnormal heart rate response to a positional change. Several potential mechanisms for pathophysiology of POTS are defined. This can coexist with different clinical situations. In our report, the first case was 13-year-old female who has been followed up diagnosis homocystinuria. She admitted outpatient clinic complaints dizziness after suddenly moving from supine upright position and chest pain exercise. Tilt table test performed...

"A case with right atrial appendage aneurysm and hydrops foetalis." Journal of Obstetrics Gynaecology, 36(7), pp. 850–851

The aim of this study was to share our experience in the diagnosis and treatment patients who presented at clinic with syncope, pre-syncope, dizziness, palpitations.Patients were treated pediatric cardiology for complaints palpitations between 2014 2016 enrolled study. Detailed history patients, physical examination findings, laboratory electrocardiogram results recorded. Tilt table test, 24-hour Holter rhythm monitoring, exercise test performed, as required. Patients diagnosed vasovagal...

Abstract Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is very rare in children. Although surgery conventional treatment, recently, percutaneous closure of pseudoaneurysms has been described. Here, we present the first case where a patient developed left after septal defect device and was treated by second method.

Abstract Objective: Infectious endocarditis poses a diagnostic challenge due to its highly variable clinical presentation. To establish definitive diagnosis, different imaging modalities are essential. In recent years, positron emission tomography/CT has gained increasing significance in diagnosing infective endocarditis; however, application the pediatric age group remains limited. This study encompasses patients definitively or potentially diagnosed with infectious at our institution from...

Abstract Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary is a congenital anomaly comprising 0.5% of all CHDs. Stenosis in implanted sinus valsalva one complications surgical repair. Management stenosis after surgery very critical and difficult, especially newborns infants. Transcatheter procedures can be lifesaving. Herein, stenting procedure applied to 3-month-old patient with post-surgical presented.

Objectives: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) plays a central role in the diagnosis and follow-up of acute myocarditis (AM). In this study, we aimed to evaluate baseline CMR findings associated factors children with AM. Methods: A retrospective analysis pediatric patients clinical presentations suggestive was performed. Patients’ demographic characteristics, data, diagnostic test results, as well imaging were evaluated. Results: All 28 included study had late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on...

Abstract Surgical vegetectomy may be indicated in patients with unresolving sepsis, heart failure, recurrent embolism, or the presence of large vegetations >10 mm size. Percutaneous using a snare reasonable option instead open-heart surgery selected patients. We describe case patient operated tetralogy Fallot and infective endocarditis who underwent via percutaneous approach.

Abstract Abnormal small fistulous flows in the pulmonary artery were detected on routine transthoracic echocardiography asymptomatic patients by colour Doppler echocardiography. The most likely diagnosis is coronary artery-pulmonary fistulas. We evaluated clinical, echocardiographic, and follow-up findings of 101 patients. mean age at first echocardiographic evaluation was 4.3 ± 4.2 years. In 79 (78.2%) patients, fistula flow diagnosed presentation remaining 22 (21.8%) between 2nd 10th...
