Abstract Background Currently used pediatric kidney length normative values are based on small single-center studies, do not include function assessment, and focus mostly newborns infants. We aimed to develop ultrasound-based derived from a large group of European Caucasian children with normal function. Methods Out 1,782 aged 0–19 years, 1,758 individuals no present or past disease estimated glomerular filtration rate had sonographic assessment length. The results were correlated...
This prospective multicenter cohort study aimed to analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in children. The study, based on pediatric part Polish SARSTer register, included 1283 children (0 18 years) who were diagnosed with COVID-19 between 1 March 2020 31 December 2020. Household contact was reported 56% cases, more frequently younger Fever most common symptom (46%). youngest (0–5 presented fever, rhinitis diarrhea. Teenagers often...
Background: The main source of vitamin D is skin synthesis, which depends on sunlight exposure. During the pandemic, COVID-19 children were obliged to home confinement, potentially limiting aim this study was evaluate whether confinement led decreased serum levels in Warsaw, Poland. Methods: included 1472 who divided into two groups, based date 25(OH)D level blood sampling: before and during pandemic. Children under 1 year age (infants) analysed separately. Results: A statistically...
The study aimed to analyse the clinical course of COVID-19 in 300 infants, selected from 1283 children diagnosed with between March and December 2020, registered SARSTerPED multicenter database. Most infants were October November 2020. 44% group girls, 56% boys. At diagnosis, most common symptoms fever 77% children, cough 40%, catarrh 37%. Pneumonia associated was 23% gastrointestinal 31.3%. In 52% elevated levels D-dimers observed, IL-6 serum concentration observed. During second wave...
Infections with human herpesvirus type 6 commonly affect children up to 3 years of age. The infection is usually mild, however, severe cases involving the central nervous system can occur. We conducted a retrospective analysis three who tested positive for in cerebrospinal fluid polymerase chain reaction. Symptoms, laboratory findings, and proposed management uncertain aetiology neuroinfection are discussed. Attention also drawn controversies related interpretation molecular findings due...
Infrared thermal imaging has in recent years become more accessible and affordable as a means of remote sensing for human body temperature such identifying person with fever. The implementation operational guidelines febrile using screening thermograph documented the ISO/TR 13154:2009 80600 been deployed total 402 children. It was found that there significant difference between temperatures measured non-fevered patients those known fever, eye region being most rapid non-contact site measurement.
Protein malnutrition has a negative effect on body composition and some blood parameters, especially in the young growing organism. One of nutritional factors which could protect against consequences protein deficiency may be B group vitamins. The aim study was to investigate vitamin B12 supplementation immune system rats fed standard low-protein diet. Rats were control (20% energy from protein) or protein-deficient diet (4.5% protein). Half animals each additionally supplemented with (300%...
Vitamin D, in addition to its superior role as a factor regulating calcium-phosphate metabolism, shows wide effects other processes the human body, including key functions of immune system. This is due presence vitamin D receptors most cells body. In our study, we aimed assess whether there correlation between content and clinical course allergic diseases well establish their immunological parameters children. We found that deficiency was significantly more frequent group children with an...
Background Although COVID-19 is associated with a mild course in children, certain proportion requires admission to hospital due SARS-CoV-2 infection and coexisting diseases. The prospective multicenter study aimed analyze clinical factors influencing the length of stay (LoHS) children COVID-19.
This study aimed to analyze the differences in severity and clinical characteristics of COVID-19 infants hospitalized Poland 2021, when dominance variants concern (VOCs) alpha delta was reported, compared 2020, original (wild) SARS-CoV-2 dominant (III-IV vs. I-II waves pandemic, respectively). In addition, influence presence comorbidities on course studied. multicenter study, based pediatric part national SARSTer database (SARSTer-PED), included 940 with diagnosed between March 1, December...
Absence of the inferior vena cava is a rare vascular anomaly, which usually remains asymptomatic in childhood. It recognized as risk factor for deep venous thrombosis, since collateral circulation does not provide adequate drainage lower limbs. Mycoplasma pneumoniae common cause community-acquired pneumonia school-aged children and adolescents. infection might be associated with thrombosis but its pathophysiology unknown. According to previous reports, due positive serum anticardiolipin...
Protein undernutrition affects inter alia blood parameters and immune system. These negative effects may be improved by the addition of vitamin B6 to diet. Here, we evaluated effect supplementation physical exercise in rats fed a protein-deficient Rats were divided into six groups: exercised or unexercised – control, protein deficient, deficient with supplementation. Sixty days malnutrition caused significant changes rat body weight, haematological (mainly red cells parameters),...
Infections caused by Enterobacteriaceae producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are a serious therapeutic and clinical problem. An increasing role of ESBL(+) pathogens is observed in both community- hospital-acquired infections. The aim the study was to assess incidence risk factors for bacteria infection pediatric ward during 5-year period.The medical documentation data patients hospitalized Department Pediatrics, Pediatric Nephrology Allergology between 2011 2015 were subjected...
Introduction: The kidney deterioration, which starts in childhood often leads to end-stage renal failure the future. Therefore, searching for an early, sensitive, and specific biomarkers became a paramount chronic disease diagnosis. aim of this study was assessment markers: KIM-1, FGF-23, NAG, NGAL, uromodulin diagnosis preclinical phase children. Patients methods: 59 children (15 boys, 44 girls from 6 months 17 years old) with disorders, had clinical indications renoscintigraphy, were...
