Thyroid hormones are essential for fetal growth and the central nervous system
development. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is the key regulatory hormone.
Their levels are quite dynamic in the perinatal period and are influenced by
multiple factors. These factors should be taken into consideration during
newborn screening. This study aimed to observe the impact of maternal and
neonatal factors o... hiện toàn bộ
Prevalence and prognostic value of plasma glucose abnormalities among full-term and late-preterm neonates with sepsisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 67 - Trang 1-7 - 2019

determine prevalence and prognostic value of plasma glucose abnormalities among
these patients. We conducted a prospective observational study of 174 full-term
and late-preterm neonates with culture-proven or possible sepsis. Plasma glucose

Vaccination against severe acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2) has gained recognition as a crucial strategy to prevent and reduce
the risk of infection, including emerging variants, due to its proven safety,
immunogenicity, and effectiveness. This study aimed to evaluate the vaccination
hesitancy (VH) among Egyptian parents towards SARS-CoV-2 vaccination,

Bardet-Biedl Syndrome: a case report of delayed diagnosis with variable presentation and role of genetic testing in definitive diagnosisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 71 - Trang 1-6 - 2023

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare multisystemic autosomal recessive (AR)
disorder, which falls under the spectrum of ciliopathic disorders. As BBS is a
very rare entity in India, its diagnosis is most often missed during early child
visits. The lack of a syndromic approach for diagnosing genetic disorders by
health care physicians is being considered a major blackguard. The following

Bloody diarrhea in children often indicates a severe gastrointestinal illness.
Although infections are the most likely cause, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
is a close mimic. IBD generally presents with chronic and persistent symptoms
requiring long-term treatment. Hence, acute or atypical presentations may
mislead the physician leading to delays in diagnosis. We report the case of an
atypical p... hiện toàn bộ

Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) have high prevalence of obesity vitamin D (VD)
deficiency together with dyslipidemia. We aimed to evaluate lipid profile and
the effect of VD supplementation in CCS. VD deficiency was more frequent among
obese CCS and their lipid profiles, TC, and LDL-C levels were significantly
higher compared to non-obese patients. After VD supplementation trials, VD
levels incre... hiện toàn bộ
