To write the article, information was searched using Scopus, Web of Science, MEDLINE, PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, Global Health, The Cochrane Library databases. It is known that micro­RNA molecules of milk retain their biological activity in the digestive tract for a long time, reach the intestinal mucosa and penetrate the internal continuum of the body. It is stated that in breast milk, microRNAs are mainly found in extracellular vesicles, which are signalosomes that mediate the effectiveness of molecular communication between the mother and her child. Breast milk has been shown to contain about 1,400 different miRNAs, most of which are located in exosomes. The authors indicate that the representation of miRNA in breast milk changes during the postpartum period. Scientists believe that large amounts of microRNAs are found both in raw cow’s milk and in commercial dairy foods. Formulas are miRNA-deficient dairy foods. The authors provide data that miR-148a deficiency is associated with the development of pathological processes of the hepatobiliary system such as inflammation, liver fibrosis, carcinogenesis and lipid metabolism disorders. It has been shown that meat products contain large amounts of various miRNAs, which can retain their functional activity even after heat treatment. So, in a comprehensive review using the latest information search databases, it was found that in the modern scientific li­terature, the authors determine the horizontal transfer of numerous microRNA molecules from animals to the human body. The main food product that restores microRNA deficiency is milk. Breast milk contains mRNA, microRNA and many other active substances. Feeding children with formulas leads to a pronounced deficiency of exogenous miRNAs. The change in the structure of the human transcriptome is due to the consumption of meat products.","PeriodicalId":338009,"journal":{"name":"CHILD`S HEALTH","volume":"116 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138590634","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}

Therefore, it is necessary to accumulate data about the features of coronavirus disease in patients of different age groups in order to enrich the clinical experience. The treatment and diagnosis outcomes were used to make a conclusion about clinical manifestation in pediatric COVID patients. The data were extracted using PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar databases. Generally, important components of coronavirus disease pathogenesis are viral tropism for cell host, cytokine storm, endothelial dysfunction, hemodynamic instability, and dehydration. These pathogenic ways lead to multiorgan injury, so clinical signs of coronavirus infection might be different. It depends on a system that suffers from coronavirus. However, pediatric COVID infection can be mild with respiratory signs, or it can be a multisystem inflammatory syndrome. On the other hand, there are typically laboratory features of coronavirus disease, including a significant rise in inflammatory and coagulation markers such as C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, fibrinogen and D-dimer. Moreover, coronavirus has displaced other expected etiological factors of some acute upper and lower respiratory tract infections and caused acute stenosis laryngitis, bronchiolitis, or pneumonia. Interestingly, coronavirus might be a cause of Kawasaki disease, therefore, physicians should pay attention to all clinical and laboratory signs in children in order to make a clear decision about diagnosis and treatment. The benefits of this study consist in presentation of pediatric COVID features. Modern knowledge will allow to choose necessary diagnostic test in time. General practitioners will be able to refer the patients to hospital before complication arise.","PeriodicalId":338009,"journal":{"name":"CHILD`S HEALTH","volume":"54 33","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138593044","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}

Матеріали та методи. Моніторинг випадків ДГР, МВ, ГЛЛ та Т1ЦД у дітей в Одеській області проводився з 2016 по 2020 роки. Ми зареєстрували дані 862 дітей, серед яких 92 мали ДГР, 54 — МВ, 88 — ГЛЛ і 628 — T1ЦД. У дослідженні використано клінічні та епідеміологічні методи, а також локальну ГІС. Для аналізу даних застосовували локальний медико-соціологічний шар ГІС і накладали його на еколого-геофізичний шар тієї ж ГІС. У дослідженні використано інформацію, отриману при проведенні Чорноморської геофізичної експедиції в Одеській області. Поширеність захворювань аналізували за χ2-тестом. Значення р < 0,05 вважалося статистично значущим. Результати. Під час перевірки «нульової гіпотези» щодо розподілу випадків ДГР, МВ, ГЛЛ та Т1ЦД у дітей за трьома фізико-географічними зонами Одеської області виявлено суттєві відмінності в поширеності захворювань на різних територіях. У лісостеповій зоні, зокрема в Ананьївському районі, виявлено найбільшу поширеність ДГР, водночас у Миколаївському районі степової зони переважав Т1ЦД. У Придністровській зоні у Біляївському районі найвищими були показники Т1ЦД, тоді як в Овідіопольському районі — показники МВ, а в Одесі — ГЛЛ. При дослідженні поширеності ДГР, МВ, ГЛЛ та Т1ЦД у дітей разом із картуванням геофізичних та екологічних аномалій в Одеській області виявлено істотну роль еколого-геофізичних факторів. Висновки.

Bronchial asthma (BA) in children is on one of the leading places in the morbidity and mortality structure among other allergic and atopic diseases. It can be developed in the form of a monoorganic phenotype (MOPh) or a polyorganic phenotype (POPh) with other nosologies of atopic march (AM): atopic dermatitis (AD) and allergic rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis (AR/ARC). This process is genetically determined, with single-nucleotide variants (SNV) of filaggrin (FLG), thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and orsomucoid-like protein 3 ­(ORMDL3) genes playing a major role. The purpose of this study was to reveal the impact of rs_7927894 FLG, rs_11466749 TSLP and rs_7216389 ORMDL3 SNV genotype combinations in the deve­lopment of MOPh and POPh of atopic BA in children. Materials and me­thods. One hundred and twenty-one children of the main group and 105 controls took part in the study. The criteria for inclusion into the main group were: age from 3 to 18 years, clinically established and laboratory confirmed diagnoses of MOPh BA, POPh BA + AR/ARC and AD + AR/ARC + BA. The criteria for inclusion in the control group were: age from 3 to 18 years, exclu­ded diagnoses of BA, BA + AR/ARC and AD + AR/ARC + BA. All children underwent swabbing of the oral mucosa and real-time polymerase chain reaction with the obtained material to detect variants of rs_7927894 FLG, rs_11466749 TSLP and rs_7216389 ORMDL3 genotype combinations. The results were processed ­using the following statistical tools: logistic regression analysis with determination of odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis with determination of the area under the ROC curve (AUC), sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r), Fisher’s ­exact test, Student’s t-test. The significance value was set at p < 0.05, trend to reliability — at p = 0.0–0.1. Results. The structure of the significantly most frequent genotypes in the cohorts of the main group was as follows: C/T rs_7927894 FLG + C/T rs_7216389 ­ORMDL3 — BA = 8.7 %; C/T rs_7927894 FLG + T/T rs_7216389 ORMDL3: BA = 21.7 %, BA + AR/ARC = 18.1 %, AD + AR/ARC + BA = 15.4 %; C/T rs_7927894 FLG + A/A rs_11466749 TSLP: BA + AR/ARC = 31.9 %, AD + AR/ARC + BA = 42.3 %.

According to the latest epidemiological studies, there has been an increase by almost 3.2 % in congenital heart disease in Ukrainian children over the past 20–30 years. Left ventricular non-compaction belongs to a group of unclassified cardiomyopathies with undetermined prevalence. At the same time, based on literature, this pathology is characterized by a late diagnosis and very high mortality. In the pathogenesis of the disease, structural changes in the myocardium occur during the embryonic stage, leading to its abnormal development. Left ventricular non-compaction is considered a genetically heterogenous disease, which is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. The article deals with a clinical case of diagnosis and management of a child with left ventricular non-compaction, which demonstrates to ge­neral practitioners, pediatricians, and pediatric cardiologists the algorithm for diagnosing and managing patients with a rare disease in order to make earlier diagnosis, prevent complications, and preserve patient’s life. The patient who has been suffered from pneumonia, complained of breathlessness and rapid fatigue during minor physical exertion was timely referred by the family doctor for consultation with a pediatric cardiologist. Laboratory and instrumental studies allowed to suspect a rare congenital heart disease — left ventricular non-compaction. Subsequently, the patient was regularly examined by cardiologists and cardiac surgeons, received protocol therapy, was registered in a state transplant registry, which allowed to wait for a donor with subsequent successful heart transplant surgery.","PeriodicalId":338009,"journal":{"name":"CHILD`S HEALTH","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135725401","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 main carriers of B.henselae are domestic cats that get infected by fleas. In humans, the disease occurs after a contact with a cat, typically through a bite or scratch from an infected animal. Difficulties in diagnosing the disease are associated with the variety of its clinical manifestations. Three clinical cases of CSD in children are presented, in two of them skin manifestations preceded common clinical symptoms such as fever and lymphadenopathy. In these patients, false diagnoses of scarlet fever and pityriasis rosea made it difficult to diagnose CSD in a timely manner. As a result, etiotropic treatment was started on days 16 and 21 of the illness, respectively. In the third case, a patient experienced abscess formation in one of the affected lymph nodes after prolonged fever for a month and regional lymphadenopathy, which necessitated surgical intervention. In all three cases, the family physicians did not ade­quately consider the epidemiological history, specifically failing to recognize the persistent, long-term contact of the children with cats. Patients received antibacterial therapy with clarithromycin, which led to clear positive dynamics and recovery. These clinical cases emphasize the importance of considering B.henselae infection in all cases of lymphadenopathy accompanied by skin rashes to ensure early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, thereby preventing complications, particularly when children have contact with cats.","PeriodicalId":338009,"journal":{"name":"CHILD`S HEALTH","volume":"84 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135725255","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}
