Plasma Kisspeptin Levels in Hypothyroidism and Premature Newborns

Issue:

Vol 65, Issue 3: 2016

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.287

Pages:

525-28

Synopsis:

Kisspeptin may play a role clarification in the newborn period of various changes. A statistically significant kisspeptin levels was determined between hypothyroid and the control groups and also a statistically significant kisspeptin levels was seen between the premature and control groups.

ABSTRACT

Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine kisspeptin levels in healthy newborns and to show whether there is significant difference kisspeptin levels between males and females in hypothyroid newborns and healthy term newborns.

Radiological Score in Malnourished and Well-nourished Children with Active Rickets

Issue:

Vol 66, Issue 6: 2017

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.008

Pages:

616–21

Synopsis:

Radiological evidence and healing process of rickets were similar in both the well-nourished and malnourished groups with rickets. We also recommend that radiological follow-up duration may be extended to at least 12 weeks.

Prevalence and Predictors of Vitamin D Insufficiency in Adolescents Living at an Intermediate Altitude

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.060

Synopsis:

Vitamin D insufficiency in adolescents living at an intermediate altitude; and optimal serum 25(OH) vitamin D levels in relation to serum PTH levels was evaluated. In spring, vitamin D deficiency was detected in 17.7 % and vitamin D insufficiency was detected in 72 % of subjects. At the end of summer these rates were 1.6 % and 41.1 % respectively. Serum 25(OH)vitamin D levels at which plasma PTH concentrations begin to form a plateau is 22 ng/mL.

ABSTRACT

Although vitamin D insufficiency is very common health problem in the world, its prevalence and predictors in adolescents are controversial. We planned to evaluate prevalenve and predictors of vitamin D insufficiency in adolescents living at an intermediate altitude. We also want to give optimal serum 25(OH) vitamin D levels in relation to serum PTH levels.

The Evaluation of the Effects of Paternal and Maternal Silent Coeliac Disease on Birthweight and Gestational Age in Newborns

Issue:

Vol 63, Issue 5: Sep (2014)

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2013.166

Pages:

470–3

Synopsis:

Silent coeliac disease may occur in parents especially in mothers of preterm and small gestational age infants even in the absence of apparent clinical indications.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Coeliac disease is a chronic disease and is common all over the world. It has many other associated systemic side effects. This study investigated the effect of paternal and maternal silent coeliac disease on birthweight and gestational age in newborns.

Penicillin V-induced Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms

Issue:

Vol 59, issue 6 (2010)

Pages:

722–5

ABSTRACT

DRESS syndrome (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms), previously named ‘’drug hypersensitivity syndrome’’, is a severe adverse drug reaction characterized by skin rash, fever, lymph node enlargement and internal organ involvement. We report on a 7-year old girl who developed DRESS syndrome caused by penicillin V treatment.

Issue:

Vol 59, issue 2 (2010)

Pages:

125–30

Synopsis:

The most important finding was the determination of body composition and hormonal measurement changes in puberty in boys. Oestradiol was the most potent determinant of bone mineral density among pubertal boys.

The Effect of Serum Magnesium Levels and Serum Endothelin-1 Levels on Bone Mineral Density in Protein Energy Malnutrition

Issue:

Vol 61, issue 3 (2012)

Pages:

213–8

Synopsis:

This study suggests that lower magnesium levels and higher endothelin-1 levels might be important factors in changes of bone mineral density in malnutrition. We recommend that the malnourished patient, especially with hypomagnesaemia, be treated with magnesium early.
