Background: Hypertension is prevalent in the pediatric population, with estimated rates between 2% and 5%, and its incidence is rising globally. This study offers a single-center analysis of hypertension in children.
Methods: a retrospective chart review was conducted involving children aged 1 month to 13 years diagnosed with hypertension.
The aim was to assess the phytochemical composition, phenolic component levels, and biological properties of the flowering tops of and . The study employed phytochemical assays, spectrophotometric techniques for quantitative analysis of polyphenols, flavonoids, and tannins, and compound identification using HPLC/UV-ESI-MS. The antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticoagulant, and antidiabetic properties were examined both and .

Methods: Essential oils were extracted using hydrodistillation. Gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry was used to determine the chemical makeup of essential oils.
Article Synopsis
- Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a serious but rare complication of long-term peritoneal dialysis, notably affecting children with an incidence of 0.5% to 7.3%.
- A 13-year-old boy with end-stage kidney disease from nephrotic syndrome experienced symptoms like abdominal pain and vomiting, leading to a diagnosis of EPS via CT scan after being on automated peritoneal dialysis.
- Following the diagnosis, he switched to hemodialysis, received treatment with steroids and Tamoxifen, and eventually underwent kidney transplantation, which greatly improved his health and quality of life.
The present study aims to generate the potential energy curves (PECs) and spectroscopic constants for barium alkaline earth (AE) atoms interacting with rare gas (RG) atoms (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe). The study focuses on investigating the van der Waals bonds that characterize the interactions between alkaline-earth metals and RG atoms, with a specific emphasis on employing the Tang and Toennies (TT) potential model, known to accurately describe such interactions. The TT potential model was employed in conjunction with combining rules to calculate its parameters, which include dispersion coefficients and Born-Mayer constants and .
