Exploring temperament and sleep patterns in disruptive mood dysregulation disorder among children and adolescents: implications for clinical practice.

Background: Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD), characterized by severe irritability and temper outbursts, is a relatively new diagnosis included in the DSM-5. The study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics, temperament, comorbidities, medication use, and sleep quality of children and adolescents diagnosed with DMDD and compare them with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

Evaluation of the relationship between dietary energy and protein intakes and anthropometric measurements in hemodialysis patients.

This study evaluated the relationship between dietary energy, and protein (animal and plant based) intakes and anthropometric measurements in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Individuals between the ages of 19 to 65 who received MHD treatment for more than 3 months from October 2021 to February 2022 in the state hospitals were included in the study. Body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2) was calculated for each patient, and anthropometric measurements including upper middle arm circumference, triceps skinfold thickness (TST) and hand grip strength (HGS) were carried out.

Lower LDL-cholesterol levels associated with increased inflammatory burden in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Objective: Association of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and highly sensitive C-reactive protein in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients was assessed in this study.

Methods: 591 consecutive patients who were hospitalized with a diagnosis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction were enrolled and assigned into tertiles according to their serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Differences in highly sensitive C-reactive protein among low-density lipoprotein cholesterol tertiles and correlations between highly sensitive C-reactive protein and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were assessed.

Combining clinical features and MEST-C score in IgA nephropathy may be a better determinant of kidney survival.

Pigmented purpuric dermatosis after taking a dietary supplement.

Pigmented purpuric dermatoses (PPDs) are a group of histologically similar skin eruptions characterized by a perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate with extravasated erythrocytes. The etiologies of these conditions are unknown, but triggering factors such as systemic diseases, infections, drugs, and foods have been described. Here, we present a patient who developed pigmented purpura 30 days after initiating a dietary supplement that contained selenium, natural vitamin E, and a parsley concentrate, specifically, Parselenium E.
