The number of articles about pediatric caudal anesthesia has increased gradually over the past few decades. However, there is no bibliometric analysis study on pediatric caudal anesthesia in the literature. This study aimed to present a bibliometric analysis of articles published in the Web of Science (WoS) Core database related to pediatric caudal anesthesia. \u0000Method: We used the search engine of WoS and included all types of contributions (original articles, reviews, letters, etc.) in the bibliometric analysis. The keywords used to access articles are ‘’pediatric, caudal, anesthesia, analgesia, and block’’ words. For the analyses, VOSViewer 1.6.13. version was used. \u0000Results: The most cited publications on pediatric caudal anesthesia were in the following journals: Pediatric Anesthesia (84 articles, 1892 citations), Anesthesia and Analgesia (26 articles, 884 citations) and Anesthesiology (7 articles, 537 citations). The countries that publish and receive the most citations about pediatric caudal anesthesia starting from the highest are the USA, France, Sweden, Turkey, Canada. \u0000Conclusion: The following parameters were the foci of a thorough analysis of articles on pediatric caudal anesthesia: publication date, number of citations, journal name, theme, and country. It is noteworthy that pediatric caudal anesthesia currently plays a crucial role in pediatric anesthesia research. However, there is still a need for new studies from different countries on different cases in the literature on pediatric caudal anesthesia.","PeriodicalId":293877,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Practice and Research","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132874548","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}

We aimed to determine the common agents and antibiotic sensitivity and resistance status according to the results of urine culture in children diagnosed with urinary tract infection. \u0000Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, we evaluated causative agents and antimicrobial sensitive and resistance in positive urine isolates from the children admitted to our hospital's Pediatrics Clinic between January 2017 and August 2022. \u0000Results: A total of 702 positive urine cultures were identified, of which 239 (34%) were from boys and 463 (66%) were from girls. The girl: boy ratio was 1.93. The median age of the patients was 1.1 years (interquartile range, 5.4). The four most frequently detected microorganisms in urine cultures were Escherichia coli (52.3%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (16.1%), Enterococcus faecalis (7.8%) and Proteus mirabilis (6.4%), respectively. Escherichia coli (9.7% vs. 42.6%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (8.3% vs. 7.8%) were the two most common uropathogens both in boys and girls. Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were highly resistant to ampicillin and 3rd generation cephalosporins, while highly sensitive to aminoglycosides, meropenem and imipenem. \u0000Conclusion: We found that E.coli was the most common uropathogen in children with UTIs consistent with the literature. We suggest that when arranging the treatment of children with urinary tract infections in our region, antibiotic resistance should be considered.","PeriodicalId":293877,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Practice and Research","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130834300","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}

Although pica is common in young children, it is an overlooked condition. Although the etiology of pica is not known for certain, some hypotheses are emphasized. The prevalence of pica varies according to societies. Pica is a clinical diagnosis based on the The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-V diagnostic criteria. In children, pica management can be achieved with a multidisciplinary approach. It should be acted on together with child psychiatry. Patient and family education are important. If there are nutritional deficiencies such as iron or zinc deficiency, it should be replaced. This review provides important information about the current approach to the child with pica.
