The Homeostasis-Enrichment-Plasticity (HEP) Approach for Premature Infants with Developmental Risks: A Pre-Post Feasibility Study.

: The environmental enrichment (EE) framework has inspired several early intervention (EI) approaches. This study evaluated the feasibility, safety, caregiver acceptance, and satisfaction of implementing the HEP Approach intervention, a novel EI model based on the EE paradigm. Outcome measures for motor development, individual functional goals, sensory functions, caregiver-provided environmental affordances, and motivation for movement were examined.

Evaluation of babies with retinopathy of prematurity following intravitreal bevacizumab administration.

Objective: In Turkiye, the increased likelihood of survival of small premature babies has resulted in a higher incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), which causes severe visual impairment in childhood. Early diagnosis and timely and proper treatment of ROP can prevent vision loss. This paper discusses cases of ROP treated with bevacizumab.

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy after etanercept therapy in the course of juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

Background: Chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy has been reported after the use of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors. The mechanisms of nerve injury caused by tumor necrosis factor inhibitors are not yet well understood.

Case: In this paper, we report a 12 year and nine month old girl who developed chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy in the course of juvenile idiopathic arthritis after etanercept withdrawal.

Cytotoxic lesions of the corpus callosum in children: Etiology, clinical and radiological features, and prognosis.

Objectives: Cytotoxic lesions of the corpus callosum (CLOCCs) are secondary lesions associated with entities like infection manifested by restricted diffusion on diffusion-weighted cranial magnetic resonance imaging. Our objectives are to evaluate the clinic-radiological spectrum of pediatric patients with cytotoxic lesions of the corpus callosum (CC).

Methods: Children (0-18 years) admitted between February 2017 and May 2020 with splenial lesions showing diffusion restriction on MRI, either isolated or within involvement of other parts of the brain, were included retrospectively.

Acute flaccid myelitis outbreak through 2016-2018: A multicenter experience from Turkey.

Aim: We aim to describe the demographic characteristics, etiology, neurophysiology, imaging findings, treatment, prognosis, and prognostic factors of acute flaccid myelitis.

Methods: The clinical data, laboratory test and, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results of pediatric patients diagnosed with acute flaccid myelitis according to the Centers for Disease Control criteria between August 1, 2016, and December 31, 2018, from 13 centers in Turkey were reviewed.

Results: Of the 34 cases identified, 31 were confirmed (91.
