Aim: Obesity, insulin resistance, and hyperlipidemia have been shown as risk factors for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In this study, the association between lipid and lipoprotein metabolism abnormalities and the presence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was investigated in patients with obesity.

Material And Methods: In this study, the clinical, laboratory and imaging findings of 357 children and adolescent patients (199 girls and 158 boys) aged 2-18 years who were diagnosed as having obesity between 2013 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how bispectral index (BIS) monitoring can aid in achieving optimal anesthesia depth for cardiovascular surgery patients, who have limited hemodynamic reserve.
  • The research involved two groups: one with visible BIS data for anesthesiologists to adjust dosages, and another with the BIS data concealed, relying instead on clinical indicators for anesthesia management.
  • Results showed no significant differences in BIS values between the groups, indicating that anesthesia management should combine BIS monitoring with clinical assessments and hemodynamic monitoring for better outcomes.

Central venous catheterization as a frequent routine clinical procedure may have significant complications. Mechanical complications may occur during catheter placement, whereas thromboembolic and infectious complications can be seen during follow-up. Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) associated central venous catheterizations may result in early mechanical complications and thrombotic and infectious complications in the long term.
