The Place of Atopy in the Aetiology of Acute Appendicitis in Children

DOI: 
10.7725/wimj.2015.005
Synopsis: 
The etiology of appendicitis is multifactorial, although it is affected by several precursor factors. While there are several known factors in acute appendicitis, the cause cannot be identified in some cases. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether allergic diseases cause a disposition to appendicitis

ABSTRACT

Objective: Appendicitis, the most common cause of abdominal pain requiring surgery in children, refers to inflammation of the vermiform appendix. The etiology of appendicitis is multifactorial, although it is affected by several precursor factors. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether allergic diseases cause a disposition to appendicitis.

The Effect on Attentıon Defıcıt and Hyperactıvıty Symptoms of Treatment of Paediatric Allergıc Rhınıtıs

DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.343
Synopsis: 
We evaluated the efficacy of allergic rhinitis treatment on attention deficit and hyperactivity symptoms in paediatric allergic rhinitis. We found that the combination of fluticasone furoate nasal spray and levocetirizine tablet may improve attention deficit and hyperactivity symptoms.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Allergic rhinitis (AR) may cause neurobehavioural symptoms and impair quality of life (QoL). We evaluated the efficacy of AR treatment on QoL, attention deficit and hyperactivity symptoms in paediatric allergic rhinitis.

The Role of Mean Platelet Volume as an Inflammatory Marker in Children with Allergic Rhinitis

Issue: 
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.266
Pages: 
395-8
Synopsis: 
Although platelets are known to participate actively in both allergic and non-allergic types of inflammation, the mean platelet volume cannot be used as an indicator of inflammation in children with allergic rhinitis.

 ABSTRACT

Objective: The mean platelet volume (MPV) is a potential marker of platelet reactivity. Increased MPV levels are shown to be the predictors of inflammations. The aim of this study was to investigate whether MPV is an inflammatory indicator in children with allergic rhinitis.
