Background: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical syndrome with numerous etiologies, mostly characterized by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abnormalities in the posterior cerebral white and gray matter and acute neurological symptoms.
Aim: To examine the predisposing factors, clinical results, and radiological features of PRES in children diagnosed with malignancy.
Materials And Methods: The study included 20 patients (7 F/13 M) aged 4-16 years at the time of diagnosis who were diagnosed with malignancy and developed PRES during chemotherapy.
Background: Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is reportedly rare but has high morbidity and mortality risk in persons with hemophilia. Although the risk factors that facilitate bleeding are known, the factors affecting the sequelae are not well known.
Objectives: We planned to investigate the risk factors for neurologic sequelae in children and adolescents with hemophilia suffering from ICH.
Background: Our study aimed to investigate the factors associated with mothers' shaking behavior of their babies.
Methods: Sixty-three mothers who stated that they shook their babies (Group B) and 91 mothers who stated that they did not (Group A) among those who applied to or were followed up from the Pediatric Outpatient Clinics of our University Hospital were included. The mothers (with a baby aged 0-30 months) completed the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) and psychiatric rating scales measuring attachment styles, empathic tendency, perceived social support, and self-esteem.
Article Synopsis
- During the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, the study assessed respiratory viral infections in children with cancer, highlighting their clinical impact.
- Of the 265 episodes evaluated, human rhinovirus/enterovirus was the most common pathogen identified, with significant complications noted, including a higher rate of lower respiratory tract infections.
- The findings emphasize the necessity for quicker detection and treatment of respiratory viruses to prevent severe outcomes in this vulnerable population.
While myocardial infarction is a rare, but known, potential side effect of snakebite envenomation, snake antivenom has thus far not been associated with any cardiovascular adverse events. We report the case of a 71-year-old man who developed an anterolateral MI during administration of Crotalidae immune F(ab')2 (equine) (ANAVIP), given as treatment for Crotalidae envenomation. The patient required cardiac catheterization with stenting of the left anterior descending artery and was discharged two days later on long-term clopidogrel and aspirin.
