Evaluation of iodine and selenium level and thyroid functions in patients with cystic fibrosis.
J Pediatr Endocrinol Metab
January 2025
Objectives: There is limited research on thyroid function in pediatric patients with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). This study aimed to determine the frequency of thyroid dysfunction in children and adolescents with CF and to evaluate iodine deficiency and selenium status in pwCF.
Methods: Sixty-two CF patients and 62 control subjects were evaluated.
Introduction: Advances in neonatal and pediatric intensive care have improved patient survival rates, emphasizing the need for respiratory support in cases of chronic respiratory failure, resulting in the establishment of the Turkish National Pediatric Patients Receiving Home Mechanical Ventilation (HMV) Support Registration System in 2023. This study aims to present the initial findings of the registry.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, epidemiological and demographic data was obtained from the registry and compared between invasive ventilation (IV) and non-invasive ventilation (NIV) groups.
Evaluation of Oral Glucose Tolerance Test Results in Children with Cystic Fibrosis.
Sisli Etfal Hastan Tip Bul
September 2024
Objectives: Current guidelines suggest that patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), who are over the age of 10, should be annually evaluated with oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the OGTT results in patients above the age of 10, who were followed up in our center with the diagnosis of CF.
Methods: In the study, 46 patients with CF at the age of 10 and above, who underwent OGTT were included.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of proton density fat fraction (PDFF) in diagnosing different types of renal tumors using a retrospective analysis of patient data over five years.
- A total of 226 patients with confirmed tumor types underwent multiparametric kidney MRI, measuring fat content in tumors and comparing it with histopathological results.
- Results indicated good diagnostic accuracy with notable differences in mean PDFF values across tumor types, highlighting the potential for PDFF in differentiating between renal tumors.
Introduction: To investigate the presence of dysbiosis in patients with naive bladder cancer.
Methods: Twelve male patients with non-invasive bladder cancer and twelve age-matched healthy males had midstream urine and tissue samples taken. A history of endourological interventions was determined as an exclusion criterion, ensuring that the study was designed solely with naïve participants.
