This study was done to understand the dynamics of rotavirus genotype distribution in Turkish children. Samples were collected from January 2006 through August 2011 from children at a hospital in Ankara. Rotavirus was detected in 28 % (241/889) of the samples. Genotype G9P[8] was predominant (28 %), followed by G1P[8] (16.3 %) and G2P[8] (15.9 %). G9 was absent in the samples from 2006 and 2007 and then re-emerged in 2008 and increased gradually. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Turkish G9 rotaviruses of the present study formed a sublineage with strains from Italy and Ethiopia, possibly indicating spread of a clone in these countries.

Central nervous system infections (CNS) are life-threatening infections in children, requiring urgent intervention and rapid diagnosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of syndromic tests in diagnosing CNS infections and the distribution of viral pathogens in pediatric patients. A total of 145 pediatric patients with a prediagnosis of CNS infection based on clinical findings by a pediatric infectious disease specialist were included in the study.

Objective: Age determination aims to determine an individual's physiological age without information about the individual's chronological age (CA) or in forensic situations in a way that does not cause loss of legal rights. The study aimed to evaluate the suitability of Cameriere (CM), Modified Cameriere (MCM) for Turkish children, Willems (WM), and Blenkin-Evans methods (BEM) for Turkish children.
Design: A total of 616 Panoramic images of 321 female and 295 male healthy children from the Central Anatolia region aged between 6 and 14.
