Golden Chanterelle or a Gold Mine? Metabolites from Aqueous Extracts of Golden Chanterelle () and Their Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Activities.

, the golden chanterelle, is the second most-collected wild edible mushroom in Europe and very frequently harvested in Croatia. Wild mushrooms have been considered a healthy food since ancient times and are today highly valued for their beneficial nutritional as well as medicinal properties. Since golden chanterelle is added to different food products to improve their nutritive value, we studied the chemical profile of aqueous extracts of golden chanterelle (at 25 °C and 70 °C) and their antioxidant and cytotoxic activities.

Peritoneal dialysis in Dalmatian County, Croatia: 21 years of a single-center experience.

Introduction: With end-stage renal disease becoming more prevalent, the importance of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is expected to rise even more. However, CAPD is associated with several infections with peritonitis being of the biggest importance.

Methods: We collected data regarding acute peritonitis episodes (APEs), date of birth and CAPD start, BMI, diabetes mellitus (DM) prevalence, year of renal disease discovery, and details about renal replacement therapies.

Correlates of Quality of Life in Pediatric Cancer Survivors.

Background: Pediatric survivors of childhood cancer are at increased risk of poor quality of life and social-emotional outcomes following treatment. Aim of the research was to examine the possible predictors of quality of life, that is, to examine the impact and relative contribution of post-traumatic stress symptoms, post-traumatic growth, the effects of treatment and social functioning on quality of life.

Subjects And Methods: Participants were 83 pediatric cancer survivors at age 16 to 29 who were off-therapy for more than one year.

Quality of life in children suffering from juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis.

Uveitis (JIA-U), the most common extra-articular manifestation in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), may cause severe impairment of vision in children and affect their quality of life (QoL). Considering the lack of uveitis-related QoL assessment questionnaire, and multidimensional nature of the Juvenile Arthritis Multidimensional Assessment Report (JAMAR), commonly used for monitoring and assessing the health status of children with JIA, we performed a cross-sectional study to investigate the potential of the JAMAR in estimation of QoL in children suffering from JIA-U. The study included 42 children with JIA, 21 of whom had JIA-U.

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder as an associated feature in OCTN2 deficiency with novel deletion (p.T440-Y449).

This boy presented with ADHD at 3 years and at 8 years was hyperactive with no documented hypoglycemia and had myopathy, cardiomyopathy, and very low serum carnitine. L-carnitine improved his exercise intolerance, cardiomyopathy, and behavior. Analysis of revealed a premature stop codon (p.

Health-related quality of life in children and adolescents with congenital diaphragmatic hernia: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) have a high residual morbidity rate. We compared self-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL) between patients with CDH and healthy children.

Methods: Forty-five patients with CDH who were born from January 1, 1990, through February 15, 2015, were matched to healthy, age-matched control participants at a 1:2 ratio.

Neurocognitive outcomes in congenital diaphragmatic hernia survivors: a cross-sectional prospective study.

Background/purpose: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) survivors may have persistent neurocognitive delays. We assessed neurodevelopmental outcomes in CDH survivors from infancy to late teenage years.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 37 CDH survivors to examine neurocognitive functioning.

Untreated congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an inherited metabolic disease caused by the deficiency of one of the enzymes necessary for cortisol synthesis. With carefully supervised medical treatment, CAH patients have the capacity for normal puberty and fertility. We report on a 12.
