In 2017 a new classification was published, indicating major and minor criteria for each form of EDS. Further reports in the past years tried to determine whether or not the absence of lingual frenulum should be included in minor criteria for the diagnosis of EDS, but a consensus has still not been reached. The aim of this study is to assess the clinical relevance of lingual frenulum absence, evaluating its prevalence in a cohort of EDS pediatric patients and comparing it to a group of controls.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000Patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome were observed at our Department of Pediatrics of Policlinico S.Matteo in Pavia, Italy. Each patient underwent clinical examination of the oral cavity, and controls were chosen among patients referred to our Department.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000Thirty-three over 40 patients showed absence of lingual frenulum and 3 of them showed frenulum hypoplasia. Absence or hypoplasia of lingual frenulum showed a prevalence of 90% in our population, whereas only 3/170 controls (1.8%), had lingual frenulum absence. Overall, absence of the lingual frenulum showed a sensibility of 90% and a specificity of 98.2% in our population.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000In agreement with other authors, we believe that the absence of lingual frenulum should be included in the minor diagnostic criteria for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.","PeriodicalId":18533,"journal":{"name":"Minerva pediatrica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49385937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We tried to analyze the usefulness of clinical and ultrasonographic findings in order to differentiate malign lymphadenopathies from benign ones. METHODS This prospective study included 100 children who had cervical lymphadenopathies, larger than 1. 5 cm for 4 weeks duration at least. Children were between 2 and 14 years old, the mean age was 6.88±3.38 years. They were examined by clinical symptoms and ultrasonographic appearances. Persistent lymphadenopathies were evaluated by excisional biopsy. RESULTS Cervical lymhadenopathies of 80 children with well clinical symptoms decreased and resolved within 10 weeks durations. Their ultrasonographic findings revealed regular margins, ovoid shapes and getting smaller than 1. 5 cm. The remaining 20 children persisting longer than 10 weeks at the same size, with worrisome clinical symptoms and susceptible ultrasonographic findings (round shapes, irregular margins) underwent excisional biopsy.

In the current study, the effects of vitamin B12 on the immune system in asymptomatic and otherwise healthy infants have been studied.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000The study was conducted at Marmara University, \"well-child\" outpatient clinic. Vitamin B12 level was measured in a cohort of 611 healthy term infants, followed regularly for at least 6 months. Immunoglobulin measurements, lymphocyte subset analysis, cytokine production analysis, lymphocyte proliferation assays and evaluation of lymphocyte apoptosis were performed in a subset of 60 infants.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000In this cohort, one out of three babies displayed vitamin B12 deficiency. The percentage of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) was lower in vitamin B12 deficient babies than in controls. Although the percentage of Tregs increased after treatment, the change was not significant. There was no difference of cytokine levels between vitamin B12 deficient and control groups. However, proinflammatory cytokines were reduced after treatment. No significant difference was observed for immunoglobulins, early apoptosis and lymphocyte proliferation.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSION\u0000Vitamin B12 deficiency is an underestimated health problem among the developing countries. The clinical consequences of the decreased percentage of Tregs associated with vitamin B12 deficiency, and reduction of proinflammatory cytokines after vitamin supplementation needs to be further studied, especially in terms of emerging allergies, autoimmune disorders and anti-inflammatory effects.","PeriodicalId":18533,"journal":{"name":"Minerva pediatrica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47810172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data concerning the following variables were collected in 2010 (S1), 2011 (S2) and 2012 (S3): family income (FI) (socioeconomic anamnesis), BMI (body mass and height), well-being (Autoquestionnaire Qualité de Vie Enfant Imagé) and body image (Body Shape Questionnaire). The physical activity and inactivity levels were measured in S3, only, through the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The Pearson's correlation and the longitudinal path analysis technique were used to statistically analyze the data.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000The main results indicated that just family income and BMI, measured soon after menarche (S2), showed significant effect on physical activity and inactivity levels. More specifically, family income has positively influenced (β = 0.25) physical inactivity levels and negatively influenced (β = -0.14) moderate physical activity levels, whereas BMI has positively influenced (β = 0.15) walking levels and negatively influenced (β = -0.13) vigorous physical activity levels.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000These results suggest that the body image and well-being perceived by the teenagers at different menarche stages are not determining factors of their physical activity levels in early adolescence. On the other hand, the effects of socioeconomic status and body mass index on early adolescent girls' physical activity and inactivity levels depend on the assessment period.","PeriodicalId":18533,"journal":{"name":"Minerva pediatrica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48672385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
