Comparison of Blood-Gas Hemoglobin and Electrolyte Measurements and Automated Laboratory Values in Pediatric Kidney Transplant Patients.

Objectives: The reliability of blood-gas measurements compared with automated laboratory tests in providing rapid results for pediatric patients is currently under investigation. The compatibility between fast-response blood-gas tests and standard automatic laboratory tests remains a subject of debate. In this retrospective single-center study, our objective was to compare the measurements of hemoglobin and electrolytes obtained through blood-gas analysis with the corresponding values obtained from standard laboratory tests in pediatric renal transplantation, specifically focusing on the immediate pretransplant period.

Exploring the relationship between social media use, sharenting practices, and maternal psychological well-being.

Background: This study examined the correlation between social media usage, sharenting practices (sharing parenting-related content on social media), and psychological well-being among 130 mothers whose children visited Baskent University Hospital between April 2020 and January 2021.

Methods: The participants completed an online questionnaire that assessed their social media usage, sharenting practices on Instagram, as well as their levels of depression, life satisfaction, and psychological resilience. Additionally, the researchers created an Instagram account and followed the mothers' social media activities.

Exploring the Depths of Sharenting: Unveiling the Impact of Sociodemographic Factors and Internet Addiction.

Introduction: This study explored sharenting's impact on children's privacy and factors influencing parental sharing. Limited knowledge raises concerns about children's rights in this growing phenomenon.

Method: A quasi-experimental cross-sectional study included 411 parents (372 females, 39 males) with a mean age of 38.

Immunity Rates of Live Viral Vaccines in Pediatric Renal Transplant Candidates: A Single-Center Experience.

Objectives: Solid-organ transplant recipients are at an increased risk of severe infections due to their immunosuppressed state. Despite the recommendation of routine screening and vaccination before transplant to mitigate this danger, vaccination rates in these patients are still below desirable levels. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of positive antibody rates for measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella among children who are candidates for renal transplant.

The relationship between mothers' Instagram follower count and the concept of sharenting.

Background: The phenomenon of sharenting has led to an increase in children's digital presence on social media platforms, particularly Instagram. This study aimed to examine the relationship between features of mothers' Instagram use and their sharing of photos related to their children.

Methods: The present study was conducted with 130 mothers of children who applied to our university hospital and who had an Instagram account and allowed us to follow them.

Evaluation of vitamin B values at time of diagnosis in 0- to 36-month-old children with food allergies.

Objectives: The relationship between food allergies and vitamin B deficiency in young children remains unclear despite extensive studies on the nutritional status of affected children. The aim of this study was to compare vitamin B levels in children with recently diagnosed food allergies and healthy children ages 0 to 36 mo.

Methods: A retrospective study at Başkent University Hospital analyzed 773 patients ages 0 to 36 mo.

Body Mass Index Growth Curves for Birth to 24 Months Children in Ankara with RefCurv Software.

Background: It is important to monitor the development of infants and children during their growth period. Various anthropometric parameters of children are measured at regular intervals after birth, and their general health and nutrition and physiological needs are assessed based on these measurements.

Aims: To construct the current body mass index (BMI) percentiles and compare them with the literature reports and World Health Organisation (WHO) data.

Sublingual methylcobalamin treatment is as effective as intramuscular and peroral cyanocobalamin in children age 0-3 years.

Purpose: Vitamin B12 deficiency is a cause of preventable growth and developmental retardation in children. In this respect, alternative methods such as oral and sublingual treatments are being tried. We aimed to compare the efficacy of oral, sublingual, and intramuscular vitamin B12 treatments in children aged 0-3 years.
