Recommendations for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia.

Iron is an essential nutrient and a constituent of ferroproteins and enzymes crucial for human life. Generally, nonmenstruating individuals preserve iron very efficiently, losing less than 0.1% of their body iron content each day, an amount that is replaced through dietary iron absorption.

Genotyping and Molecular Characterization of VP6 and NSP4 Genes of Unusual Rotavirus Group A Isolated from Children with Acute Gastroenteritis.

Group A rotavirus (RVA), which causes acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in children worldwide, is categorized mainly based on VP7 (genotype G) and VP4 (genotype P) genes. Genotypes that circulate at <1% are considered unusual. Important genes also include VP6 (genotype I) and NSP4 (genotype E).

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance for the evaluation of patients with cardiovascular disease: An overview of current indications, limitations, and procedures.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of morbidity/mortality worldwide. Early diagnosis is the key to improve CVD prognosis, and cardiovascular imaging plays a crucial role in this direction. Echocardiography is the most commonly used imaging modality.

Immune response to SARS-CoV-2 in children: A review of the current knowledge.

Host immune responses to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), especially in children, are still under investigation. Children with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) constitute a significant study group of immune responses as they rarely present with severe clinical manifestations, require hospitalization, or develop complications such as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The deciphering of children's immune responses during COVID-19 infection will provide information about the protective mechanisms, while new potential targets for future therapies are likely to be revealed.

Skin biopsy for the diagnosis of Alport syndrome.

Alport syndrome (AS) is the most common hereditary nephritis often associated with extrarenal manifestations. It was first described by Alport on 1927. There is a primary disorder in collagen type IV which is the main component of the basement membranes.
