To report diagnostic, clinical and therapeutic aspects of cyanide intoxication resulting from ingestion cyanogenic glucoside-containing apricot seeds.Thirteen patients admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) Erciyes University between 2005 2009 with associated seeds were reviewed retrospectively.Of 13 patients, four male. The mean time onset symptoms was 60 minutes (range 20 3 hours). On admission, all underwent gastric lavage received activated charcoal. In addition signs mild...
Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) have been found to be useful indexes for the diagnosis of sepsis in adults. However, knowledge their roles cut-off values pediatric patients is limited. The primary objective this study was assess ability NLR MPV predict children. A secondary aim evaluate comparison these parameters with C-reactive Protein (CRP).The conducted on patients, who had two or more following criteria were included study: tachycardia, tachypnea,...

Turk J Pediatr 2018; 60: 126-133. The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency, safety, outcomes (HFNC) (COT) children. A randomized controlled trial conducted a 13 bed One-hundred children who underwent were eligible for study. Patients divided into HFNC (n=50) COT groups. Basal variables including...
Abstract Objectives : To determine and compare efficacy, safety optimal dose of two laxatives, liquid paraffin lactulose, in 40 children with chronic functional constipation. Methods A total 20 were treated lactulose for 8 weeks at an initial 1 mL/kg per day both drugs. The was adjusted every 3 days as required a diary kept to monitor dose, side‐effects, stool frequency consistency, other symptoms. Results During first 4 weeks, improvement consistency significantly higher the group ( P <...
We prospectively compared restrictive and liberal transfusion strategies for critically ill children regarding hemodynamic laboratory parameters.A total of 180 requiring packed red blood cells (PRBCs) were randomized into two groups: the strategy group (transfusion trigger < 10 g/dL, Group 1) ≤ 7 2). Basal variables including venous/arterial hemoglobin, hematocrit lactate levels; stroke volume; cardiac output recorded at beginning end transfusion. Oxygen saturation, noninvasive oxygen...
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is characterized by the accumulation of surfactant derived material in lung patients. PAP rare children. The patient presented with respiratory failure. In history she was diagnosed agammaglobulinemia at 8 months age and has been treated IVIG once a month. She had two pulmonary alveolary attacks before. Chest X-ray showed bilateral diffuse infiltrates. Initial diagnosis were pneumonia, ARDS, edema. Whole-lung lavage revealed lipoproteinaceous similar to...
To evaluate abdominal adipose tissue accumulation in obese children by ultrasound measurement and compare with the elastic properties of aorta.A total 56 a control group 30 non-obese had an examination for measurements thickness visceral, preperitoneal, subcutaneous fat as well aorta stiffness parameters. Anthropometric metabolic risk profile were assessed physical blood tests.Abdominal parameters all significantly higher than controls. Among compartments, visceral was strongest correlate...
Mercury poisoning is much more prevalent in the general population than possibly many physicians realize. We present data on 26 pediatric cases with mercury intoxication from exposure to by inhalation or skin contact as a result of broken thermometer school laboratory. This largest series Turkey. During 3-month period, study team observed children for clinical symptoms, physical findings, and blood levels. Of all patients, 21 inhaled, 3 inhaled touched element, 2 took home. Sixteen were...
Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the accumulation of copper in body, especially liver, brain, kidney, and cornea (1,2). Liver involvement can manifest itself as cirrhosis, chronic active hepatitis, or fulminant hepatic failure (2). Mortality particularly high patients whom accompanied hemolytic crisis (3). Hepatic transplantation only treatment for these individuals when copper-chelating agents are insufficient (3,4). Chelating such D-penicillamine...
Aim Although early enteral nutrition (EN) is strongly associated with lower mortality in critically ill children, there no consensus on the definition of EN. The aim this study was to evaluate our current practice supplying EN and identify factors that affect both initiation feeding within 24 h after paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission adequate supply first 48 PICU children. Methods We conducted a prospective, multicentre, observational nine PICUs Turkey. Any kind tube commenced...
Organophosphate (OP) poisoning is common in developing countries. The presenting symptoms and signs of OP intoxication are multiple may cause difficulty differential diagnosis, especially children. A case reported who presented as diabetic keto-acidosis.
Background: Growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) are used in the neonatal period for evaluation of diseases such as GH deficiency, intrauterine restriction, hypoglycemia. However, level has been reported a single value during period. In this study, we attempted to determine changes GH, IGF-1, IGFBP-3 each week.

In this report, we describe a 4-month-old male X-SCID who presented invagination also showed hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). The patient was admitted to our hospital fever, cough, vomiting, monoliasis, hepatosplenomegaly in postoperative period at the age of 3 months. laboratory finding revealed no...
This study compared the accuracy of noninvasively measuring hemoglobin using spectrophotometry (SpHb) with a pulse CO-oximeter and laboratory (Hb) measurements. A total 345 critically ill children were included prospectively. Age, sex, factors influencing reliabilityof SpHb such as SpO2, heart rate, perfusion index (PI), vasoactive inotropic score recorded. measurements recorded during blood draw Hb measurement. Thirteen patients (low PI in 9 no available 4 patients) excluded 332 eligible...
