Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of this observational study was to compare the chewing patterns of children with unilateral Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) to those of children without MIH and to assess how the MIH severity influences the risk of chewing deviation. The hypothesis was that children with unilateral MIH would prefer to chew on the side opposite the defect.
Methods: A total of 121 children were included in this investigation and evaluated for their preferred chewing side (PCS). This study population comprised 45 children with unilateral mild MIH (G1), 42 with unilateral severe MIH (G2), and 34 children in the control group (CG) who had no MIH but presented with unilateral chewing complaints.
Results: The PCS pattern differed among the groups, with 31% of the children with MIH and 55.9% of the CG showing bilateral chewing. The chewing deviation prevalence was 24% in the CG and 52% in G2 (χ2 test; p = 0.03). Binomial logistic regression analysis revealed that both severities of MIH influenced the likelihood of chewing deviation (χ2 = 7.33, p = 0.026). Children with unilateral severe MIH were 3.57 times more likely to exhibit chewing deviation than were those without MIH.
Conclusions: The null hypothesis was rejected, indicating that unilateral MIH affects children's masticatory patterns, increasing the risk of chewing deviation.
Clinical Relevance: Unilateral chewing may be associated with various health issues, such as temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), decreased hearing, and vision problems. Unilateral MIH is a potential risk factor for unilateral chewing.

Assessment and quantitative analysis of hip surrounding muscles in children with developmental dysplasia of the hip via magnetic resonance imaging.

Department of Pediatric Orthopedics, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, No. 36 Sanhao Street, Heping District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, 110004, China.
Background: The muscles that encase the hip serve a crucial role in both joint stability and functional efficacy, and as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) progresses, the surrounding musculature may undergo specific adaptations that reduce joint stability, thereby exacerbating dislocation. Yet, the exact nature of changes in muscle morphology and quality remains inadequately investigated. This study aimed to compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluations of the iliopsoas and other hip flexor and extensor muscles in children with unilateral DDH before and after treatment.

Background: Patients diagnosed with congenital kidney malformations are at an increased risk of developing hypertension, proteinuria, and progressing to chronic kidney disease (CKD). The present study aimed to determine the frequency of masked hypertension and ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) in patients with congenital kidney malformations.
Methods: The study included 174 patients with congenital kidney malformations (48 patients with unilateral renal agenesis (URA), 40 patients with ectopic kidney (EK), 36 patients with horseshoe kidney (HK), 31 patients with multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK), 19 patients with unilateral renal hypoplasia (URH), and 45 healthy controls.
Inguinal hernioplasty in children-open or laparoscopic?: A retrospective cohort study of 1,072 cases.

Heim Pál National Pediatric Institute, Üllői Út 86, Budapest, 1089, Hungary.
Purpose: The most common surgical intervention in childhood is inguinal hernioplasty. The advantage of laparoscopic approach is still questionable, therefore our aim was to compare open hernia repair (OHR) and PIRS (Percutaneous Internal Ring Suturing) technique at the authors' institute.
Methods: An observational retrospective cohort study was conducted between 2013 and 2021.
