Rationale And Objectives: Neurological complications associated with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have been reported in children; however, data on neuroimaging findings remain limited. This study aimed to comprehensively examine neuroimaging patterns of COVID-19 in children and their relationship with clinical outcomes.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study involved reviewing the medical records and MRI scans of 95 children who developed new neurological symptoms within 2-4 weeks of clinical and laboratory confirmation of COVID-19.

Insulin is the main metabolic regulator of fuel molecules in the diet, such as carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. It does so by facilitating glucose influx from the circulation into the liver, adipose tissue, and skeletal myocytes. The outcome of which is subjected to glycogenesis in skeletal muscle and lipogenesis in adipose tissue, as well as in the liver.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder majorly arising from the pathophysiology of the pancreas manifested as a decline in the insulin production or the tissue's resistance to the insulin. In this research, we have rationally designed and synthesized new succinimide-thiazolidinedione hybrids for the management of DM. In a multistep reaction, we were able to synthesize five new derivatives ().

For the precise preoperative evaluation of complex congenital heart diseases (CHDs) with reduced radiation dose exposure, we assessed the diagnostic validity and reliability of low-dose prospective ECG-gated cardiac CT (CCT). Forty-two individuals with complex CHDs who underwent preoperative CCT as part of a prospective study were included. Each CCT image was examined independently by two radiologists.

Article Synopsis
  • Diabetes mellitus is a major global health issue, prompting research to find antidiabetic bioactive compounds from specific plant sources.
  • Various plant extracts were tested in laboratory assays for their ability to inhibit enzymes related to glucose metabolism, finding ethyl acetate to be the most effective fraction.
  • Two promising compounds were isolated and characterized, demonstrating strong inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase and α-amylase, potentially paving the way for further animal studies on their antidiabetic properties.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a real challenge to the recent era and is one of the major diseases for initiating life-threatening disorders. In current research, a compound was designed by combining vanillin, thiazolidinedione and morpholine. The goal of our designed work is to demonstrate the ability of our design compound (9) to modulate more than one target responsible for hyperglycemia at the same time.

The chiral drug candidates have more effective binding affinities for their specific protein or receptor site for the onset of pharmacological action. Achieving all carbon stereopure compounds is not trivial in chemical synthesis. However, with the development of asymmetric organocatalysis, the synthesis of certain vital chiral drug candidates is now possible.

Tyrosinase and -glucosidase enzymes are known as promising target candidates for inhibitors to control unwanted pigmentation and type II diabetics mellitus. Therefore, twenty extracts as enzyme inhibitors were prepared from edible spices: nutmeg, mace, star anise, fenugreek, and coriander aiming to explore their antioxidant, antibrowning, and antidiabetic potential. Results confirmed that all extracts showed potent antioxidant activity ranging from IC = 0.

Objectives: To assess the incidence of testicular adrenal rest tumors (TARTs) among male children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) in tertiary care centers.

Methods: All male children aged 1-14 years diagnosed with CAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21 HOD), 11β-hydroxylase deficiency, and 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency, confirmed by biochemical and/or genetic testing, underwent scrotal ultrasound examination to identify TARTs. After receiving the diagnosed patients' data, patients' electronic medical records were accessed to collect demographic data and scrotal ultrasound results, along with growth parameters and specific biochemical test results within 2 months of the ultrasound.
