The association between electrocardiographic data and obesity in children and adolescents.

Background: There are not enough studies investigating the relationship between obesity and ECG abnormalities in children and adolescents. This study aims to investigate the relationship between obesity and electrocardiographic data in children and adolescents for early diagnosis to prevent arrhythmia or sudden death in later stages of life.

Patients And Methods: A total of 65 children and adolescents with obesity applied to our pediatric endocrinology outpatient clinic with nonspecific complaints and without any known chronic illnesses; 76 healthy children and adolescents were included in the study.

Relationship Between Pituitary Siderosis and Endocrinological Disorders in Pediatric Patients with Beta-Thalassemia.

Introduction Excess iron accumulation occurs mainly in organs such as reticuloendothelial cells, the pituitary gland, and the pancreas in beta-thalassemia because of blood transfusions. In the present study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between T2* values on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinically diagnosed pituitary endocrinological disorders in children with thalassemia major. Methods This study enrolled patients diagnosed with beta-thalassemia at pediatric hematology outpatient clinics.

Effects of vitamin D prophylaxis on oral irontreatments of iron deficiency anemia.

Background: Iron deficiency anemia causes a decrease in immune response to infections, physical working capacity and response to metabolic stress. It also causes behavioral, perceptual and cognitive disorders. Therefore, as soon as iron deficiency anemia is diagnosed, it should be treated immediately.
