Materials and Methods: We planned the groups as sham, ovarian torsion detorsion (O/TD; 3hours torsion/3hours detorsion), RA 40 mg/kg (40 mg/kg RA+O/TD), and RA 80 mg/kg (80 mg/kg RA+O/TD) groups. Following the experimental procedure, we sacrificed the rats and then, collected the lung and ovarian tissues for biochemical evaluations. Result: Total oxidant status (TOS), myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and oxidative stress index (OSI) were elevated in the O/TD group compared to the sham group. These parameters declined due to low and high doses of RA administration. Total antioxidant status (TAS) level and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity diminished in the O/TD group while increasing in RA treatment groups. However, the high dose of RA treatment group enhanced the antioxidant activity further and reduced the oxidant parameters compared to the low dose RA treatment group. Conclusion: In this study, RA treatment reduced O/TD-induced ovarian and lung injuries in the experimental animals.","PeriodicalId":293877,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Practice and Research","volume":"172 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114817074","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 goal of this study was to highlight trends and discuss problems in Pandas Syndrome research since 1998 and to assist researchers in identifying new avenues for this field of study. \u0000Material and Method: The Vosviewer program was used to conduct bibliometric analysis on the articles chosen from the Web of Science Core Collection. \u0000Results: The analysis included 361 publications. 2004 was the year with the highest number of publications. In the following years, the number of publications followed an irregular course. The most cited publications were published in 2021 and these publications received 881 citations. The United States (n=191,52.91%), Italy (n=43,11.91%), England (n=32,8.86%), Germany (n=18,4.98%), Sweden (n=13,3.60%), Turkey (n=13,3.60%) and Spain (n=10, 2.77%) were detected as the mostly publishing countries. The United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Germany were the countries with the largest number of countries and the most cooperation between countries. The National Institute of Mental Health, Yale University, and Johns Hopkins University were the most prolific institutions. \u0000Conclusion: With this study, we reviewed the global studies on PANDAS in the field of psychiatry and tried to highlight the issues that can be identified as emphasis. According to the study findings, the number of publications on PANDAS is still much lower than expected. Scientific productivity on PANDAS syndrome, which has many unknowns about diagnosis, treatment and etiology, needs to be increased globally.","PeriodicalId":293877,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Practice and Research","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128640720","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}

Community and hospital acquired infections can range to skin infections to life-threatening infections. In our study, we attempted to evaluate demographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters and the prognosis of children with S. aureus infection. \u0000Methods: Children infected with S. aureus at the Department of Paediatric Infectious Disease, Selcuk University Faculty of Medicine, from 2014 to 2022 were analysed retrospectively. Patients were evaluated for MRSA, MSSA, and community or hospital-acquired infections. \u0000Results: A total of 116 children's detected specimens were collected; 31.9% contained MRSA and 68.1% contained MSSA. The proportion of community-acquired (CA) infections was 88.8%, while hospital-acquired (HA) infections were 11.2%. MSSA was more common in the CA-S. aureus group, while MRSA was more common in the HA-S. aureus group (p=.025). The most common clinical manifestations included soft tissue infection, lymphadenitis, cutaneous infection, osteomyelitis, and septic arthritis. Each patient was treated with antibiotics, 77.59% of patients was required hospitalization. In 62.9% of the patients, surgical intervention (drainage or debridement) was performed. Despite 86.2% of the patients were cured, infection persisted in nine patients with epidermolysis bullosa, CIPA syndrome, and bone implants. One patient with shunt meningitis died. \u0000Conclusions: S. aureus cause both CA and HA superficial or invasive infections, in children. Especially in life-threatening infections, appropriate antibiotic therapy is critical for preventing mortality until an antibiogram culture result is obtained. The patient's clinical condition and regional antibiotic resistance should be considered when prescribing antibiotics empirically.","PeriodicalId":293877,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Practice and Research","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114965219","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 aim of this study is to reveal the demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics of pediatric patients followed in a palliative care center. \u0000Methods: In this retrospective study, demographic data (age, gender), laboratory findings (platelet, mean platelet volume, lymphocyte, neutrophil counts, glucose, sodium, potassium, urea) of pediatric patients followed up in an adult palliative care center between 18.10.2018 and 15.01.2023, creatinine, albumin and the C-reactive protein, CRP/albumin ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio) and clinical features (length of stay in PCU and survival) were evaluated. \u0000Results: It was determined that 61 pediatric patients between the ages of 2-17 were followed up in the palliative care center between 18 October 2018 and 15 January 2023. 65.6% of the patients were male and 6.6% were Syrian citizens. The duration of stay in the palliative care center was between 1-64 days. While 16.4% of the patients had tracheostomy, 14.8% needed home mechanical ventilator. Only 3 (4.9%) patients received parenteral nutrition.

There are a lot of studies showing intraabdominal infections cause PPA but there is no study comparing the effect of different bacterial strains on PPA formation. That is why we designed this study using the most common microorganisms isolated in intraabdominal infections and hospital flora. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of different bacterial strains (Klebsiella spp, E. coli spp, anaerobe) on the formation and degree of PPA in adhesion formation in rats.\u0000Methods: In this study, rats were divided into 5 groups, consisting of twelve rats.
