Article Abstract

The upper extremity H-reflex was investigated in healthy children, aged from 3 to 15 months. The electromyographic reflex responses of m. abduct or digiti min. and m. flexor carpi uln. were registered after electric stimulation of n. ulnaris. We constructed the curve of restoration of H-reflex after application of a couple of stimuli with equal duration and intensity, but over increasing intervals. We established changes in the excitation of H-reflex, obtained from m. flexor carpi uln., by increasing of the interval between the conditional and test stimuli. In the interval of 5 ms maximal facilitation was registered, while in the interval of 20 and 30 ms-maximal inhibition. In children aged from 3 to 9 months with persisting H-reflex in m. abductor digit min. we established possibility for its complete inhibition after application of a couple of stimuli with interval of 20 ms. In children aged from 9 to 15 months with vanished H-reflex in m. abductor digiti min. possibility for its obtaining was established after application of a couple of stimuli with interval of 5 ms. Quotation is made of evidences in favour of the hypothesis for the functional character of the disappearance of H-reflex in the small muscles of the arm in the first year of life of the children.

Objectives: To evaluate the predictive ability of furosemide stress test (FST), serum and urine cystatin-C in identifying progressive acute kidney injury (AKI) and the need for kidney replacement therapy (KRT).

Methods: Children aged one month to 18 y admitted in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with Kidney Diseases Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) stage-1/2 AKI were enrolled. FST and serum and urine cystatin-C levels were performed and analyzed.

Background: Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase1 (IRAK1) plays a considerable role in the inflammatory signaling pathway. The current study aimed to identify any association between (rs1059703) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and vulnerability to rheumatological diseases in the pediatric and adult Egyptian population.

Patients And Methods: The current study included four patient groups: adult Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE), and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

Background: Bulimia nervosa (BN) is a serious mental illness with impulsivity as a cardinal symptom. Impulsivity contributes to various other, often comorbid, mental disorders, such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD). The aim of this study was to explore comorbidities of BN with ADHD and BPD as well as the contribution of impulsivity as an underlying trait linking these disorders.
