Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the incidence of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in infants ≥36 weeks gestational age in Turkey, finding an incidence rate of 2.13 per 1000 live births, with varying severity levels among those affected.
  • - Among infants with HIE, therapeutic hypothermia (TH) was notably administered to 34.5% of those with mild HIE, while factors like gestational age affected mortality rates, especially in those born at 34-35 weeks.
  • - Despite an unchanged incidence of HIE, the study revealed a decreased mortality rate and no significant impact of TH timing on MRI findings or mortality.

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) is one of the most commonly used non-invasive respiratory support modes in neonates with transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN). Non-invasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (nHFOV) is a non-invasive respiratory support mode that has been increasingly used in neonatal respiratory disorders. This prospective randomized controlled study compared the efficacy of nHFOV and nCPAP in reducing the duration of non-invasive respiratory support.

Our aim was to assess mean platelet volume (MPV) and mean platelet volume to platelet count ratio (MPR) in the setting of late-onset sepsis (LOS) and their association with the type of bacteria causing LOS. The MPV and MPR levels were obtained at the onset of LOS and then assessed in intra/inter group analyses in preterm infants. Overall, 136 preterm infants were enrolled.

Possible relationship between refractory celiac disease and malignancies.

World J Clin Oncol

March 2022

Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology, University of Health Sciences, Yuksek Ihtisas Teaching Hospital, Bursa 16000, Turkey.

Celiac disease (CeD) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that is triggered by gluten in genetically susceptible individuals, and that is characterized by CeD-specific antibodies, HLA-DQ2 and/or HLA-DQ8 haplotypes, enteropathy and different clinical pictures related to many organs. Intestinal lymphoma may develop as a result of refractory CeD. If a patient diagnosed with CeD is symptomatic despite a strict gluten-free diet for at least 12 months, and does not improve with severe villous atrophy, refractory CeD can be considered present.

Can a Synbiotic Supplementation Contribute to Decreasing Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase Levels in Children with Potential Celiac Disease?

Pediatr Gastroenterol Hepatol Nutr

July 2020

Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology, University of Health Sciences, Yuksek Ihtisas Teaching Hospital, Bursa, Turkey.

Purpose: Synbiotics can alleviate some intestinal pathologies or prevent trigger mechanisms for some diseases such as celiac disease (CD). If patients with high levels of anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG) immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies have normal duodenal histology, they are followed as potential CD patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of synbiotic use on the blood levels of anti-tTG antibodies in children.

Background: Patients' demographic and epidemiological characteristics, local variations in clinicians' knowledge and experience and types of surgery can influence peri-operative transfusion practices. Sharing data on transfusion practices and recipients may improve patients' care and implementation of Patient Blood Management (PBM).

Materials And Methods: This was a multicentre, prospective, observational, cross-sectional study that included 61 centres.

Red cell distribution width as a predictor of late-onset Gram-negative sepsis.

Pediatr Int

March 2020

Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, Bursa Yüksek Ihtisas Teaching Hospital, University of Health Sciences, Bursa, Turkey.

Background: Late-onset sepsis (LOS) remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. In this study, our aim was to investigate the red-cell distribution width (RDW) levels during a LOS episode, and its association with the type of growing microorganism and mortality.

Methods: Preterm infants with culture-proven sepsis during their neonatal intensive care unit stay were enrolled.

Achondrogenesis Type 2 in a Newborn with a Novel Mutation on the Gene.

Balkan J Med Genet

Department of Pediatrics, Division of Neonatology, University of Health Sciences, Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Teaching Hospital, Bursa, Turkey.

Achondrogenesis is a group of rare and fatal disorders occurring in approximately one in every 40,000-60,000 newborns. Achondrogenesis is classified in three groups, as Achondrogenesis type 1A (Houston-Harris type or AC-G1A), Achondrogenesis type 1B (Parenti-Fraccaro type or ACG1B) and Achondrogenesis type 2 (Langer-Saldino type or ACG2), depending on clinical and radiological findings. Achondrogenesis Type 2 is a lethal skeletal dysplasia that is typically characterized by short arms and legs, a small chest with short ribs, lung hypoplasia, a prominent forehead, a small chin, and an enlarged abdomen that may accompanied by polydramnios and hydrops.

This study aimed at assessing the serial carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels in preterm infants during the first week of life and their variation with late-onset sepsis (LOS). Infants with <37 gestational weeks were categorized into two groups according to the presence of culture proven LOS. Serial COHb levels were obtained during the first week of life, at the onset of the LOS episode, and upon blood culture negativity with response to antibiotics.

Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, University of Health Sciences, Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Teaching Hospital, Bursa, Turkey.

Glutathione synthetase (GSS) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder (frequency < 1/1,000,000) with different varyingly severe clinical manifestations that include metabolic acidosis, hemolytic anemia, hyperbilirubinemia, neurological disorders and sepsis. This infant was small for gestational age, had hemolytic anemia, metabolic acidosis, bilateral subependymal pseudocysts and increased echogenicity of the basal ganglia. GSS deficiency was confirmed by genetic analysis.

Preterm infants are prone to increased bilirubin burden and display adverse outcomes if left unmonitored; therefore, predicting an increased bilirubin production is of paramount importance. We aimed to evaluate carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels in moderate (GA: 32-33) and late preterm (GA: 34-36) infants to assess whether this molecule could be used as an early predictor of phototherapy requirement. A total of 221 infants were enrolled in the study.
