Candidal Infections in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A Retrospective Observational Study.

Objectives: The aims of this study were to evaluate the demographic characteristics, risk factors, mortality rates, and laboratory findings of infants with fungal sepsis in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Methods: This retrospective multicenter study included patients in NICU with spp isolated in blood cultures between November 01, 2019, and September 01, 2022. The patients were evaluated in two groups as Group 1 infants with and Group 2 infants with positive blood cultures.

Association between thiol-disulfide hemostasis and transient tachypnea of the newborn in late-preterm and term infants.

Background: Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN), which is the most common respiratory disease in the neonatal period, increases respiratory workload in newborns. We purposed to evaluate the oxidative stress (OS) status and thiol disulfide hemostasis in late preterm and term newborns with TTN in this study.

Methods: The study was carried out in a single-centre neonatal intensive care unit to investigate the effect of continuous airway positive pressure (CPAP) on the oxidative system in newborns with TTN.

Evaluation of Oxidative Stress Levels and Dynamic Thiol-disulfide Balance in Patients with Retinopathy of Prematurity.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate both dynamic thiol-disulfide homeostasis and oxidative stress (OS) levels in patients with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

Methods: A total of 129 infants of <34 weeks gestational age were enrolled in the present study. The thiol-disulfide homeostasis was determined by using the new, cost-effective and fully automated colorimetric method.

Oxidative Stress Levels and Dynamic Thiol-Disulfide Balance in Preterm Newborns with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the oxidative stress (OS) levels and dynamic thiol-disulfide balance in preterm newborns with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).

Methods: This prospective study included newborns separated into 2 groups, those with BPD (case) or without BPD (control). The 2 groups were compared by clinical and laboratory findings.

Effects of Fish Oil (SMOFlipid) and Olive Oil Lipid (ClinOleic) on Neonatal Morbidities in Preterm Infants.

Objective: Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is very important for providing optimal nutrition during the critical developmental period of preterm newborns. Thus, there is a need to optimize TPN solutions to reduce morbidities. This study aimed to examine the effects of olive oil (ClinOleic) and fish oil (SMOFlipid) therapies on the frequencies of neonatal morbidities.

Variants in Two Unrelated Cases with 46, XY Disorder of Sex Development and Review of the Literature.

The genetic cause of 46, XY disorder of sex development (DSD) still cannot be determined in about half of the cases. haploinsufficiency is one of the rare causes of DSD in genetic males (46, XY). Twenty-two cases with 46, XY DSD due to haploinsufficiency (nine missense variant, two copy number variation) have been previously reported.

Risk of autism spectrum disorder in children with a history of hospitalization for neonatal jaundice.

Background: Limited research has focused explicitly on the association between neonatal jaundice and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and inconclusive evidence exists in the literature within this framework. This study aimed specifically to investigate whether neonatal jaundice is a potential risk factor for ASD and whether there is a connection between the types of neonatal jaundice and the severity of ASD.

Methods: This study involved 119 children with ASD [90 males (75.

Labial adhesion and urinary tract problems: The importance of genital examination.

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common bacterial illness in children. Delay in the treatment of UTI may lead to acute renal parenchymal damage and subsequent renal scarring. It is well established that several risk factors increase the tendency for UTI - one being labial adhesion (LA).

Febrile seizures in children with familial Mediterranean fever: Coincidence or association?

Background: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an inherited disease characterized by recurrent bouts of fever and polyserositis and caused by MEditerranean FeVer gene (MEFV) mutations. Given the febrile characteristics of the disease one would expect higher frequency of febrile seizure in this group of pediatric patients.

Objectives: To evaluate the frequency of febrile seizure and related factors in patients with FMF.

Interferon-alpha treatment of molluscum contagiosum in a patient with hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome.

We report widely disseminated molluscum contagiosum that occurred in a 9-year-old boy secondary to hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome, a primary immunodeficiency disorder. Cutaneous examination revealed numerous, widespread, skin-colored to translucent, firm, umbilicated papules of varying sizes. They were distributed throughout the perineal and gluteal areas and bilaterally over his lower limbs.
