Background: The relationship between diastolic function parameters and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) is controversial. This study aimed to determine the relationship between left ventricular diastolic function and the severity of CAD.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 63 patients with Ischemic heart disease (IHD) or those suspected of having IHD, who underwent angiography.
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.
