The aim of the present study was to assess thiol/disulfide homeostasis (TDH) parameters and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels in children with Wilson Disease (WD) and to compare them to healthy controls. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, fifteen children with WD and twenty-nine healthy children were enrolled, and serum thiol/disulfide and IMA levels were compared between groups. The mean values of native and total thiols were significantly lower in the WD group than in the control group.

Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-threatening chronic inflammatory disease in children due to respiratory complications. Saliva could serve as a reservoir of bacterial colonization and potentially reflect systemic inflammation. This study investigated whether salivary triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM-1), peptidoglycan recognition protein 1 (PGLYRP1), interleukin (IL)-1β, and calprotectin are associated with CF or reflect concomitant gingival inflammation.

Article Synopsis
  • * A total of 52 CD patients and 50 healthy controls were examined, revealing that the CD patients had significantly lower levels of vitamins A and D compared to the healthy group.
  • * Findings showed a high prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency (92.3%) and deficiency (61.5%) among the patients, suggesting the importance of routinely checking these vitamin levels in children diagnosed with CD.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine and compare cardiovascular risks by assessing arterial stiffness in children with essential hypertension and white coat hypertension.

Methods: Paediatric patients followed up with essential hypertension and white coat hypertension diagnoses and with no established end organ damage were involved in the study. Arterial stiffness in children included in the study was evaluated and compared by using the oscillometric device (Mobil-O-Graph) method.

Background: The variations in perilipin gene (PLIN) were previously associated with obesity. We examined the association of polymorphisms at the PLIN locus in adolescents with obesity and their connection with serum adipokines.

Methods: A total of 308 children (206 obese, 66.

Aims: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an accepted evaluation method to assess vascular changes and determine cardiovascular disease risk in type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients. The aim of this study was to identify atherosclerosis risk by using oscillometric device in pediatric patients who had T1D but no end organ impairment and no cardiovascular disease findings.

Materials And Methods: Pediatric patients with T1D and no determined end organ impairment and cardiovascular disease were involved in the study.

We presented a cerebral venous thrombosis case associated with lack of proper medical evaluation required for confirmation of suppression and exclusion of current pregnancy before starting assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycle. This is a case-report study about a 37-year-old woman who presented to emergency room with abdominal pain and tenderness. Initial human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) value was 17616 IU/L.

Aim: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the accumulation of excess fat in the liver in the absence of alcohol consumption, which is commonly associated with obesity and increased risk of atherosclerosis as well as insulin resistance. Adropin is a recently identified protein encoded by the gene related with energy homeostasis, which is expressed in the liver and the brain and has a role in preventing insulin resistance and obesity. The aim of this study was to investigate the serum adropin and leptin levels in obese adolescents and compare the patients with, and without, NAFLD and with healthy controls.

Aim: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with inflammation and increased risk of atherosclerosis. Neopterin is regarded as a biochemical marker of cell-mediated immunity, which is secreted by monocytes and macrophages, mainly in response to interferon-gamma. The aim of the present study was to investigate the serum neopterin levels in obese adolescents and compare the neopterin levels in patients with and without NAFLD and also with healthy controls.
