Aim: Evaluate the lipid profiles in children after two years of follow-up.
Methods: Longitudinal cohort study. A two years follow-up of a group of children since they were 6 years old. Blood analysis were carried in every children measuring total cholesterol, triglycerides, cLDL, cHDL, apoproteins A and B. It also included TD/cHDL, cLDL/cHDL, Apo B/A ratios and atherogenic index.
Results: 200 mg/dl, cLDL > 135 mg/dl and Apo B > 100 mg/dl in the follow-up was of 9.51, 5.18 and 8 for those children who had in the initial study these same values. The values of lipid profile and of the index studied improved in the two years of follow-up. This improvement has an statistical signification only in men.
Conclusions: There is a significant correlation between the values of the lipid profile and the index measured in those children who were six years old in the beginning of the two years follow-up.

Background: Globally, adolescent mothers are at increased risk for postpartum depression (PPD). In Kenya, 15% of adolescent girls become mothers before the age of 18. While social support can buffer a mother's risk of PPD, there are gaps in knowledge as to whether-and which types-of social support are protective for adolescent mothers in Kenya.

Background: Most children experience distress while visiting a dentist, above which the sound of the airotor and suction machine results in fear and difficulty in performing further procedures.
Methods: This was a randomized controlled parallel-group study of 40 children aged 6-13 years who required cavity preparation via the airotor. The children were randomly allocated to either Group 1 (Piano music app; active distraction combined with audio analgesia) or Group 2 (basic behavioural guidance alone).
A child with Chronic Nonbacterial Osteomyelitis and celiac disease: accidental association or two different aspects of the same condition?

Background: Chronic Nonbacterial Osteomyelitis (CNO) is a rare auto-inflammatory disease that mainly affects children, and manifests with single or multiple painful bone lesions. Due to the lack of specific laboratory markers, CNO diagnosis is a matter of exclusion from different conditions, first and foremost bacterial osteomyelitis and malignancies. Whole Body Magnetic Resonance (WBMR) and bone biopsy are the gold standard for the diagnosis.

Background: Atherosclerotic dyslipidemia is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Although previous studies have demonstrated an association between the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and insulin resistance, there remains a scarcity of large cohort studies investigating the association between AIP and the long-term risk of T2D in the general population. This study aims to investigate the potential association between AIP and the long-term risk of T2D in individuals with normal fasting plasma glucose levels.
