Pediatric kidney care experience after the 2023 Türkiye earthquake.
Nephrol Dial Transplant
August 2024
Article Synopsis
- Two devastating earthquakes in Türkiye on February 6, 2023, resulted in significant injuries to 903 children, with a focus on crush syndrome-related acute kidney injury (Crush-AKI) and mortality.
- The study tracked various factors, including the time under rubble, treatment protocols, and patient outcomes, revealing that Crush-AKI developed in 36% of the patients, and over half required dialysis.
- Key findings included that serum levels of creatine phosphokinase above 20,950 U/L and inadequate initial intravenous fluid volume were linked to Crush-AKI, and most deaths occurred among those with Crush-AKI within the first four days of admission.
Comparison of the behavior of negative electrically charged E. coli and E. faecalis bacteria under electric field effect.
Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces
December 2021
The negative electrical charge of Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis bacteria is an indication that they can be affected by an electric field. To show that the movements of electrically charged bacteria can be controlled, impedance spectroscopy method was used on a porous silicon (PS) structure with 60 % porosity and 7-12 μm pore size. The main purpose of this study is to use the electric charge of these two bacterial species to bring bacteria closer to the sensors with the help of an electric field, and to compare the behavior of these bacterial species in the process.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of pediatric patients with AD and identifying the factors associated with the severity of the disease.
Materials And Methods: A total of 304 pediatric patients diagnosed with atopic dermatitis were included in the study.
Objective: To test the feasibility of targeted gown and glove use by healthcare personnel caring for high-risk nursing-home residents to prevent Staphylococcus aureus acquisition in short-stay residents.
Design: Uncontrolled clinical trial.
Setting: This study was conducted in 2 community-based nursing homes in Maryland.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed data from 25 patients, revealing a mean diagnostic age of around 12 years, with a significant diagnostic delay of nearly 10 years; common early symptoms included developmental delays and seizures.
- * The findings highlight that despite similar genetic traits among patients, clinical symptoms can vary widely, suggesting that this disorder should be considered in patients showing early signs of mental retardation and developmental issues, especially in young children with brain tumors.
