Aim: To evaluate factors associated with constipation, determine its risk and identify common methods of managing constipation among schoolchildren from ages 7–12 in Edirne, Turkey. Methods: This was a cross‐sectional descriptive study 1900 children were stratified by the school population, age gender. The questionnaire collected information parents about prevalence as well. It asked bowel movements, socio‐demographic data, personal family stressors, parental concern treatment methods....
Aim: The protective effect of vitamin E (vit E) on cadmium (Cd) induced oxidative stress was studied in the blood rats. Methods: rats were randomly divided to three experimental groups: Control, Cd treated and + vit treated, each containing 10 animals. groups injected subcutaneously daily with CdCl2 dissolved isotonic NaCl amount 2 mL/kg for 20 days, resulting a dosage 0.49 mg Cd/kg/d. In addition, group received intramuscular injection 150 mg/kg until end study. Results: treatment increased...
Scald injuries are the most common type of burn in childhood. The authors' aim this study was to determine characteristics scald burns and identify clinical signs symptoms which help predict indications for hospitalization after scalding injury. All patients were retrospectively evaluated according gender, ages, cause burn, size depth, distribution area, first aid given, management, patient's outcomes. factors affecting indication analyzed 165 patients, 95 males 70 females aged 1 month 13...

<i>Objectives:</i> The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics patients with a minor head injury (MHI) who were admitted pediatric emergency unit and identify clinical signs symptoms that most reliably predict need for cranial computed tomography (CCT) hospital admission following MHI. <i>Methods:</i> All retrospectively evaluated according age, gender, details injury, presenting symptoms, physical examination findings, radiological investigations...
Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy may improve cholestasis, increase hepatic regeneration, and decrease oxidative stress in liver. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of HBO on parameters, such as total thiol groups (T-SH), protein carbonyl (PCO), antioxidant capacity (TAC) well predictive value noninvasive biochemical marker, sialic acid (SA), prolidase activity bile duct ligation (BDL)-induced damage fibrosis rats.We divided 32 adult male Sprague Dawley rats into four groups:...
Backround: Thoracic trauma causes life-threatening organ injuries, ranging from simple abrasions to contusions of intrathoracic organs. In this study, we aimed investigate the effects bosentan on endothelin-1 (ET-1), hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α as inflammation markers, pro-oxidant antioxidant balance (PAB) and total capacity (TAC) levels oxidative stress parameters in lung tissues rats experimental model pulmonary...
Background: Although thoracic injuries are uncommon in children, their rate of morbidity and mortality is high. The aim this study was to evaluate the clinical features children with blunt chest injury investigate predictive accuracy paediatric trauma scores (PTS). Methods: Between September 1996 2006, were evaluated retrospectively. Clinical PTS patients recorded. Results: There 27 male 17 female patients. mean age 7.1 ± 3.4 years, 7.6 2.4.

Seventeen patients agreed be included.A total detorsion and seven oophorectomy. Mean age at operation 11.6 ± 2.23 (range, 8-15 years) 13.2 2.17 10-16 years), respectively (P = 0.46). Ovarian isolated...
Aerophagia, characterized by symptoms related to repetitive swallowing of air, is a functional gastrointestinal disorder. In some cases, severe aerophagia causes massive bowel distention and leads volvulus, ileus, even intestinal necrosis perforation. A 10-year-old intellectually disabled boy was referred our unit due abdominal distention, bilious vomiting, no passage feces flatus during the previous 3 days. He had experienced episodes flatulence over past 2-3 years. exploratory laparotomy,...
Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) is a major cause of morbidity, and increased costs as well an risk death. This study was evaluated effects exogenous sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC) administration on CIN in rats. Eight animals were included each the following eight groups: control, control phosphate-buffered solution (PBS), SPC 2, 10, CIN, PBS, 2 10. The created by injected with 4 g iodine/kg body weight. administered 3 d at daily two different doses μm/mL 10 intraperitoneally. severity...
INTRODUCTION Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI), known since 1730, is seen in more than 50% of preterm infants who develop necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). can be throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract (GIT), from esophagus to rectum, although small intestine primarily involved (1-4). Furthermore, gastric PI characterized by an infiltration stomach wall air and a rare condition (5,6). To best our knowledge, 1966, only 33 cases have been reported, mostly association with NEC proximal...
