Article Synopsis
- Hymenoptera stings, like those from wasps and bees, can lead to serious allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), but localized symptoms like swelling and redness are more frequent, especially in kids.
- A focused sting, particularly in the throat or airway area, can become extremely dangerous, even if it seems minor.
- The case presented involves a child who experienced multiple wasp stings in a critical area called the supraglottis, highlighting the potential severity of such incidents.
Objective: The present study seeks to estimate the potential of multifrequency tympanometry in the diagnosis of primal otologic disorder in children with adenoid hypertrophy (AH).
Study Design: Prospective observational study.
Setting: Tertiary pediatric institution.
Introduction: Abnormalities in adipose tissue AdipoR1; adaptor protein, phosphotyrosine interaction, PH domain, and leucine zipper containing 1 (APPL1); GTPase Rab5; adiponectin; leptin; and visfatin in adults with obesity have been associated with metabolic disturbances.
Objective: The objective of this study was to examine whether pediatric obesity disrupts elements of the adiponectin signaling pathway and GTPase Rab5 in adipose tissue.
Methods: Primary adipocyte cultures of subcutaneous abdominal tissue were obtained from 96 lean and 66 children and adolescents with obesity (AO).
