Background: Despite reports of reduced physical fitness in children with congenital heart disease (CHD), no specific performance evaluations for activities of daily living have been conducted.
Objectives: The aim was to compare the activities of daily living, quality of life, posture, physical fitness and physical activity levels of children with CHD with healthy controls (HC).
Methods: The study included 30 children aged 6-14 diagnosed with moderate or severe CHD and 30 age-sex-matched HC.
Article Synopsis
- - Efforts to monitor West Nile virus (WNV) in Vojvodina, Serbia began in 2005, evolving into a national surveillance program by 2014 that included humans, mosquitoes, horses, and birds.
- - The surveillance system showcased its effectiveness in detecting virus circulation and identifying risk areas, particularly demonstrating strong correlations between infected mosquitoes and human cases, especially in 2014-2015.
- - By 2010, WNV was identified across 43 mosquito trapping locations, with multiple detections at several stations over different years, leading to ongoing improvements in surveillance strategies for better public health response.

The treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) between ages 1-3 years is controversial. Particularly controversial is the age after which pelvic osteotomy should be added to the treatment. In the present study, the outcomes of DDH patients aged 1-3 years treated with anterior open reduction alone were evaluated, and the relationship between inadequate acetabular development, the need for secondary pelvic osteotomy, and age was investigated.
