Evaluation of resveratrol's protective effect on hydrocortisone-induced growth inhibition in the peripubertal rat epiphyseal plate.

Objective: Chronic use of glucocorticoids during childhood can lead to a decrease in hormone release, including ACTH, GH, TSH, and LH, as well as reduced IGF-1 activity. This can result in osteoporotic changes and hinder growth in height. Resveratrol, an antioxidant with phytoestrogen properties, may improve bone health by increasing bone mineral density in postmenopausal women.

Determination of the Effect of Diameter of the Sac on Prognosis in 64 Cases Operated for Meningomyelocele.

Objective: To examine the effect of meningomyelocele sac size on prognosis by retrospective review of 64 cases operated for meningomyelocele between January 2009 and December 2012.

Methods: We evaluated newborn babies operated for meningomyelocele by retrospectively reviewing their files for head circumference, location and with of the defect, accompanying anomalies, treatments administered, drugs that mother used during pregnancy. Based on the defect size, 3 patient groups were created as 0-24 cm (group I), 25-39 cm (group II), and 40 cm and above (group III).

Psychiatric dimensions in mothers of children with primary nocturnal enuresis: A controlled study.

Introduction: The etiology of primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE) is not fully understood, but multifactorial factors have been associated with PNE. Parental factors, including attitudes to PNE, disciplinary behaviors, and psychiatric comorbidities in parents have been related to etiology of PNE, outcomes and the quality of life in children with enuresis.

Objective: We examined the psychopathology in mothers of children diagnosed with monosymptomatic PNE(MoPNE) compared with mothers of non-enuretic children (MoNEC) in terms of personality characteristics, early traumatic experiences, and psychiatric symptom evaluation.

Effects of Inhaled Corticosteroids on the Growth Plates of Infant Rats.

The most significant adverse effect of inhaled steroid administration in children is suppression of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis responsiveness and suppression of growth. This study evaluates the effects of inhaled corticosteroids on the growth plates in infant rats. Rats aged 10 days were divided into five groups.
