Purpose: We aimed to investigate early effects of exogenously administered adropin (AD) on neurological function, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression, nitrite/nitrate levels, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
Methods: Following intracerebroventricular AD administration (10 µg/5 µl at a rate of 1 µl/min) SAH model was carried out in Sprague-Dawley rats by injection of autologous blood into the prechiasmatic cistern. The effects of AD were assessed 24 h following SAH.

Background: Evaluating predictors of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and severity among children may help clinicians manage the high rate of hospital admissions for suspected cases.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics of children during the pandemic, and determine the predictors of COVID-19 and moderate-to-severe disease.
Material And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included all consecutive COVID-19 cases in patients aged <18 years who presented to the Pediatric Emergency Department at Haseki Training and Research Hospital (Istanbul, Turkey) between March 15 and May 1, 2020, and underwent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of oro-nasopharyngeal swabs (n = 1137).
