Article Synopsis
- The study examines how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the rates and types of viral respiratory infections in children under 18 years old, by analyzing medical records from January 2018 to March 2023.
- A significant decline in these infections was noted in 2020 (38.6% drop), followed by a surge in 2021 (188% increase), indicating fluctuating patterns post-pandemic.
- Notably, respiratory syncytial virus and influenza infections rose in frequency in the post-pandemic period, while parainfluenza virus infections showed an unusual increase during summer months, adding new insights to existing research.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on understanding primary hypertension (HT) in adolescents, highlighting its rising prevalence and potential impact on neurocognitive function and academic performance.
- It analyzed the clinical characteristics and academic grades of 83 high school students with primary HT, finding that higher body mass index and health complications were linked to lower grades in key subjects like Mathematics and Turkish Language.
- Results suggest that HT negatively affects academic skills and emphasizes the need for comprehensive management strategies to control hypertension among adolescents.
Cardiovascular diseases are the main causes of morbidity in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Electrocardiography (ECG) can provide important information about cardiac functions and parameters associated with sudden cardiac death. This study aims to evaluate the potentially dangerous changes in CKD and kidney replacement therapies by ECG and to determine the value of ECG in predicting cardiovascular outcome compared with echocardiography.
