On physical examination, swelling was found in both lower legs (pitting type). Laboratory investigations showed protein in urine and reduced serum albumin (2.0 g/dL) with elevated lipid levels. Although a kidney biopsy could not be performed due to the economic problem of the family, a diagnosis of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (NS) was made based on clinical and laboratory findings. \u0000Conclusion: Nephrotic syndrome in children includes dietary adjustments, administration of diuretics to reduce edema, and administration of immunosuppressants such as steroids to induce remission.","PeriodicalId":235302,"journal":{"name":"Sriwijaya Journal of Pediatrics","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121780956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The exact cause of this disorder is unknown, but it is suspected that there is an interaction of several factors, including gene mutations and epigenetic mechanisms. This literature review aimed to describe the pathophysiology, clinical symptoms, and treatment of Hirschprung disease. Mild to severe constipation is a common manifestation of Hirschsprung's disease with poor diet, poor weight gain, and progressive abdominal distention. However, diarrhea may be the first sign, as only water can flow around the affected stool. The most serious complication in the neonatal period is Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC), which can occur both preoperatively and postoperatively. Surgery is the definitive treatment in all cases of Hirschsprung's disease, with resection of the aganglionic segment and anastomosis of the bowel proximal to the anus, known as a pull-through procedure. In conclusion, Hirschsprung disease is a congenital aganglionic megacolon or functional obstruction of the large intestine and is caused by multifactorial factors, especially the role of genetic aspects.","PeriodicalId":235302,"journal":{"name":"Sriwijaya Journal of Pediatrics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130036201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The food intake of a child is very highly influenced by parental feeding patterns. The more optimal the feeding of a child, of course, the more optimal the growth and development of the child, where the factor of nutrition greatly affects the growth of a child's body. This study aimed to determine the relationship between feeding patterns and the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 12-59 months in the working area of Pembina Health Center, Plaju, Palembang, Indonesia. \u0000Methods: This study is a cross-sectional analytic observational study. A total of 100 research subjects participated in this study. Analysis of sociodemographic data and feeding patterns was carried out using SPSS software univariate and bivariate. \u0000Results: The study results show that the majority of the subject with poor feeding patterns have a greater proportion of stunting events. Meanwhile, research subjects with good feeding patterns had a smaller proportion of stunting events. The results of this study indicate that the pattern of feeding in children is related to the incidence of stunting, p<0.05. \u0000Conclusion: The pattern of feeding children is related to the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 12-59 months in the working area of Pembina Health Center, Plaju, Palembang, Indonesia.","PeriodicalId":235302,"journal":{"name":"Sriwijaya Journal of Pediatrics","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132173478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various congenital and endocrine disorders can interfere with the timing of sexual maturation, causing delayed puberty or precocious puberty. This literature review aimed to describe puberty and its disorders and influencing factors. The age of puberty is multifactorial, involving genetic and environmental components. Delayed puberty is a physiological (constitutional) delay in which hormonal levels are normal, and the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis is intact, but maturation occurs slowly. Precocious puberty can be partial, complete, or mixed type and can be further categorized into central (GnRH dependent) and peripheral (GnRH dependent). In conclusion, congenital and endocrine disorders can interfere with the timing of sexual maturation, causing delayed puberty or precocious puberty.","PeriodicalId":235302,"journal":{"name":"Sriwijaya Journal of Pediatrics","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124867502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
