The Role of Breast Milk Neurotrophin Levels in Infantile Colic Pathogenesis: A Cross-Sectional Case-Control Study.

Immaturity of the digestive tract and enteric nervous system is a widely accepted theory for infantile colic (IC) etiopathogenesis. The study aimed to show whether neurotrophins that are necessary for normal functioning and development of the gastrointestinal system have a role in the pathogenesis of IC. The IC group ( = 75) comprising the mothers of infants with IC and the control group ( = 75) were included to this cross-sectional case-control study.

Coronavirus Disease 2019-Associated Neurological Manifestations in Children: A Large Single-Center Experience With Rare Cases.

Background: We aimed to analyze pediatric patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with a diverse spectrum of neurological manifestations in a single center since neurological involvement in children is still poorly understood.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study on 912 children aged between zero and 18 years who had a positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) test result and symptoms of COVID-19 from March 2020 to March 2021 in a single center.

Results: Among 912 patients, 37.

Evaluation of clinical, endocrine and metabolic findings in obese children with and without hepatosteatosis.

Objectives: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common obesity-related comorbidity in childhood. In this study, we aimed to evaluate predictors of NAFLD by comparing clinical, endocrine and metabolic findings in obese children with and without hepatosteatosis.

Methods: Two hundred and eight obese children aged 6-18 years were included.
