Objective: To determine values of bone density of Turkish infants under one year of age.
Design: Cross sectional.
Methods: This study included 1, 2, 4, 6, 9 and 12 months old 164 male and female healthy infants who were evaluated by dual energy X-ray absorbtiometry.
Results: The values for each age were computed. There was no significant difference between boys and girls. A significant relationship was found between bone mineral density, bone mineral content, total body calcium and calcium/body surface, and age, height, body weight, head circumference and body surface area. Multiple regression analysis showed that body mineral density was affected by weight, height, head circumference and body mass index. Body mineral content and total calcium content were affected by weight and height.
Conclusion: The results will serve as reference values for healthy 1-12 months old Turkish infants.

Objective: Growth curves are important tools for assessing the growth and development of children in the target population by age. Measuring head circumference (HC) in infants is an important tool in monitoring infant health and brain development. The aims of this study are to construct current 0-2-year-old HC growth curves and percentiles and compare the methods used in the construction of growth curves for HC measurements by gender.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of syndromic tests for diagnosing central nervous system (CNS) infections in children, highlighting the urgency of timely diagnosis.
- A total of 145 pediatric patients were analyzed, revealing that viral pathogens were the most common cause of CNS infections among those tested, with bacterial and no fungal infections detected.
- The use of syndromic tests significantly reduced diagnostic turnaround time, which averaged around 2 hours, and aided in guiding appropriate treatment for affected children.
