ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER AND HAIR HEAVY METAL AND ESSENTIAL TRACE ELEMENT CONCENTRATIONS. IS THERE A LINK?

The aim of our study was to assess hair micro-elemental status in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, determine micro-elemental misbalances and heavy metal concentrations and evaluate its impact on child behavior. Case-control study was conducted at Child Development Center of M. Iashvili Children's Central Hospital in 2015-2017years (Tbilisi, Georgia).

Many-Body Dynamics and Gap Opening in Interacting Periodically Driven Systems.

We study transient dynamics in a two-dimensional system of interacting Dirac fermions subject to a quenched drive with circularly polarized light. In the absence of interactions, the drive opens a gap at the Dirac point in the quasienergy spectrum, inducing nontrivial band topology. We investigate the dynamics of this gap opening process, taking into account the essential role of electron-electron interactions.

EVALUATION OF DEVELOPMENTAL OUTCOMES WITH BAYLEY III TEST IN PRETERM INFANTS WITH RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME.

Aim of our study was assessment of developmental outcome of neonates with respiratory distress syndrome, evaluation of the impact of RDS on child's health, growth and neurodevelopment at 2 years of age. Case control study included 138 children, from those, 74 preterm (gestational age 32-36 weeks), who were divided into 2 study groups: I groups - involved 38 preterm with RDS and II group - 36 preterm patients without RDS and other neonatal problems. Control group included 42 patients born term with uncomplicated history.

HAIR HEAVY METAL AND ESSENTIAL TRACE ELEMENT CONCENTRATION IN CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER.

Our study aims evaluation of level of essential trace elements and heavy metals in the hair samples of children with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) and identification of changes that are associated with autistic spectrum disorders. Case-control study was conducted at Child Development Center of Iashvili Children's Central Hospital (LD).We studied 60 children aged from 4 to 5 years old.

INCIDENCE OF ALLERGIC RHINITIS AND RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS IN FIRST GRADE SCHOOL CHILDREN IN GEORGIA.

The aim of the study was assessment of incidence of allergic rhinitis and respiratory infections and evaluation of quality of life of first grade school age children with allergic rhinitis. The cross sectional study in randomly selected regions and schools was conducted using specially developed parent questionnaire and mini rhino conjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (MiniRQLQ). On the first was used special questionnaire, and on the second phase MiniRQLQ was used in cases with allergic rhinitis.
