Atypical Kawasaki disease with giant coronary artery aneurysms in a 2-month-old boy: a case report.

Background: Kawasaki disease is an acute inflammatory disorder primarily affecting medium-sized blood vessels, especially in infants and young children under 5 years old, characterized by inflammation of the arterial walls, including coronary arteries. While predominantly affecting young children, rarely Kawasaki disease is seen in adults. Reporting this case is crucial due to the patient's very young age and the disease's unusual presentation following vaccination, contributing to the limited literature on Kawasaki disease in very young infants.

The role of inflammatory mediators in the pathogenesis of periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome.

Introduction: As a recurrent disease, periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome is characterized by episodes of febrile attacks and is often prominent in children under five years of age. However, the etiology of this condition has not been fully understood yet.

Materials And Methods: The search in the extensive literature of peer-reviewed articles published from the inception to December 2021 was conducted to identify the relevant studies, using the electronic databases of MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, and the Web of Science.

Analysis of factors affecting the implementation of green human resource management using a hybrid fuzzy AHP and type-2 fuzzy DEMATEL approach.

The topic of green human resource management has attracted considerable attention during this last decade. Despite this interest, little research has been conducted to explore the successful implementation of green human resource management to achieve environmental sustainability goals. Therefore, this study aims to identify the factors affecting the effective implementation of green human resource management in petrochemical companies in Bushehr City.

A dermatopathic Juvenile Dermatomyositis; An Unexpected Case in Childhood.

Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is a rare idiopathic inflammatory disease, which usually presents with skin rashes along with muscle weakness. We report a case of JDM in a 10- year-old girl with no skin manifestations presenting with progressive muscle weakness and fatigue. Further laboratory investigations, along with a muscle biopsy, confirmed the diagnosis of adermatopathic JDM.

Potentiality of white-rot fungi in biosorption of nickel and cadmium: Modeling optimization and kinetics study.

The present study aimed to analyze simultaneous biosorption of Cd and Ni by living Phanerochaete chrysosporium as low-cost and eco-friendly biosorbent following optimization by applying a central composite design. The effect of operating parameters such as solution pH (4.0-8.

Synthesis of calcon-imprinted magnetic chitosan nanoparticles as a novel adsorbent and its application in selective removal of calcon dye from aqueous solutions.

Calcon-imprinted magnetic chitosan (CIMC) nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully synthesized as a novel adsorbent. Epichlorohydrin (ECH) and glutaraldehyde (GA) were used as cross-linkers to synthesize desired calcon-imprinted magnetic chitosan (ECH/CIMC and GA/CIMC) and non-imprinted magnetic chitosan (ECH/NIMC and GA/NIMC) NPs for adsorption and removal of calcon from polluted solutions. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques were employed to investigate the characteristics of ECH/CIMC and GA/CIMC.

Another Limping Child: An Interesting Diagnosis Journey.

Limp is described as any deviation from a normal gait pattern for the child's age. Limping takes many forms and is one of the most enigmatic complaints in pediatric medicine. It is never normal, and both benign and life-threatening illnesses can present with limp.

The quality of life in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

We conducted a study to evaluate the quality of life in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy aged 8-18 years, compared with that in matched healthy controls. A total of 85 boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy aged 8-18 years and 136 age, sex and living place matched healthy controls were included in this study. Patients and one of their parents separately completed the 27-item Persian version of KIDSCREEN questionnaire (child and adolescent version and parent version).

Determination of penicillin G in milk samples using its effect on cloud point extraction of triiodide ion.

A cloud point extraction (CPE) method for determination of trace amounts of penicillin G by spectrophotometry based on its effect on the triiodide ion (I3(-)) has been developed. Penicillin G is converted to the corresponding penicilloic acid by carrying out hydrolysis with sodium hydroxide solution, and treatment with acid yields D-penicillamine that is oxidized quantitatively by iodine to give rise to a disulfide. The 13- remaining in the solution is extracted into the surfactant Triton X-100, and the difference between absorbance of the working solution in the presence and absence of penicillin G is proportional to the amount of penicillin G.

Kinetics and thermodynamic studies for removal of acid blue 129 from aqueous solution by almond shell.

Efficiency and performance of Almond shell (AS) adsorbent for the removal and recovery of Acid Blue 129 (AB129) from wastewater is presented in this report. The influence of variables including pH, initial dye concentration, adsorbent dosage, particle size, contact time and temperature on the dye removal have been investigated in batch method by one at a time optimization method. The experimental equilibrium data were tested by four widely used isotherm models namely, Langmuir, Freundlich, Tempkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R).

Factorial design for optimization of experimental variables in preconcentration of copper by a chromotropic acid loaded Q-Sepharose adsorbent.

An agarose-based anion exchanger (Q-Sepharose) was loaded with chromotropic acid (CTA) and used for column preconcentration and determination of copper by flame AAS. Preliminary experiments indicated that a sample pH of 5.7-6.

A dual column system using agarose-based adsorbents for preconcentration and speciation of chromium in water.

Three different agarose-based chelating adsorbents with, respectively, iminodiacetic acid (IDA), tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (TREN) and dipicolylamine (DPA) functional groups and an agarose-based anion exchanger (Q-Sepharose), were studied for the separation and preconcentration of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) species in water. Column recoveries of all the adsorbents were plotted against pH, and it was found that at pH 3.0 the IDA adsorbent selectively adsorbs Cr(III), with a 100 +/- 1.
