Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of physical activity (PA) on sedentary behavior and body measurements in children and adolescents, highlighting a trend where physical activity decreases and sedentary time increases with age.
- In a sample of 759 participants aged 6-17, results revealed children are less sedentary and more active than adolescents, with significant differences in body composition measurements based on physical activity levels.
- The findings suggest that physically active individuals, especially boys, had lower body fat percentages and slimmer skinfold measurements compared to inactive peers, indicating that engaging in recommended levels of PA may mitigate obesity risks.
Purpose: To evaluate the alteration of pre-post informing anxiety levels and behavioural scores of the children in the groups between those who were shown the multimedia-application and verbally explained.
Methods: In this randomized controlled study, healthy children, who applied to a paediatric-dental-clinic who never had a dental visit or dental procedure rather than oral examination were included. In the waiting room evaluation of children with a behaviour-control-list and Frankl's-Behaviour-Rating-Scale were performed, Venham-Picture-Test (VPT) was shown to the children.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare the choroidal features in eyes affected by Stargardt disease (STGD) and non-exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by using high-tech imaging methods to gather data on macular atrophy.
- Findings showed that patients with STGD had thicker choroidal structures and larger total choroidal areas compared to those with non-exudative AMD, although both groups had similar choroidal vascularity index (CVI) values.
- The results suggest that while STGD exhibits lesser atrophy in choroidal compartments compared to non-exudative AMD, the implications of these differences on disease development are still under debate.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of subtenon platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients and to determine the factors affecting the response to treatment.
Methods: For this purpose, 85 eyes of 43 RP patients with visual acuity of 1 logMAR and above were included in the study and subtenon autologous PRP treatment was applied 3 times at two-week intervals. In addition to a full ophthalmological examination, functional tests such as visual acuity, visual field, central retinal sensitivity measurement, and electroretinography (ERG) and structural measurements including the thickness of the outer retinal layers, and the length of the ellipsoid zone in optic coherence tomography, and the dimensions of the hyperautofluorescent ring in fundus autofluorescence imaging (FAF) were performed on the patients before and one month after the treatment.
Background: Pandemics, such as COVID-19, have the potential to adversely affect children's development due to a variety of negative factors at the level of children, families, and services. In this study the effect of the pandemic on the cognitive, language and motor development of premature babies who are among the most vulnerable group, were evaluated.
Methods: The study included 236 premature infants who were followed at Hacettepe University Department of Developmental Pediatrics.
