Evaluation of Pediatric Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) Cases and Risk Factors for Chronic ITP - Single Center Experience

Aim: Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is the most common acquired bleeding disorder in childhood. The study aimed to assess the demographic and clinical characteristics, and treatment responses and to evaluate their effects on chronicity in pediatric ITP cases. Material and Methods: Primary ITP patients aged 1 month to 18 years, who were diagnosed and followed up in the Pediatrics Clinic of Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University Hospital between January 2010 and December 2018, were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Thirty-eight patients with a diagnosis of primary ITP were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 94.3±53.4 (14-199) months. The female/male ratio was 1. Twenty (57.1%) patients had acute ITP, and 15 (42.9%) patients had chronic ITP. There was no significant difference between the acute ITP group and the chronic ITP group in demographic, clinical features, laboratory findings, and treatment responses. In the first 12 months, the number of admissions with a platelet count o

How does parents' visual perception of their child's weight status affect their feeding style?

Conclusion: Various feeding styles were related to maternal visual perception. The best approach to preventing obesity and underweight may be to focus on achieving correct parental perception of the weight status of their children, thus improving parental skills and leading them to implement proper feeding styles

Relationship between functional movement screening and static balance scores: Increasing the educational level of elite female wrestlers

The importance of balance is considerably high in many sports that require struggle and close contact such as wrestling. Some losses in maintaining the balance due to the movements requiring high intensity during competitions and increase in the risk of injury due to these losses may occur in wrestling athletes. The aim of this study is to Increase the educational level of elite female wrestlers by examining the relationship between Functional Movement Screening Test Scores and static balance performance scores of elite young female wrestlers. 19 elite female wrestlers having average age of 22.94 ± 2.67 years, body weight 61.63 ± 7.25 kg, height 165.37 ± 5.17 cm and BMI 22.46 ± 1.60kg / m2 participated in the study. Functional Movement Screen Test ™ (FMST™) battery was used in determining the functional movements of the participants, while Tecnobody Prokin 200 Bergamo/Italy was used to determine the total postural stability index values. All static balance measurements were evaluated as standing Double-Leg Eyes Open (DLEO), Eyes Open Single-Leg Dominant Non-Dominant (EOSL-DM and EOSL-ND). Since higher stability index values indicate lower stability, the participants were found to have a negative correlation between non-dominant leg static balance and HS. SM. and TSPU, and between dominant leg static balance and HS. SM. and TSPU. In addition, it was found out that, there was a negative correlation between non-dominant leg static balance, dominant leg static balance and double leg static balance and the FMST™ scores of the participants. The results of this research can be very effective in improving the educational process in the field of wrestling.La importancia del equilibrio es considerablemente alta en muchos deportes que requieren lucha y contacto cercano, como la lucha libre. Algunas pérdidas en el mantenimiento del equilibrio debido a los movimientos que requieren alta intensidad durante las competiciones y un aumento en el riesgo de lesiones debido a estas pérdidas pueden ocurrir en los atletas de lucha libre. El objetivo de este estudio es aumentar el nivel educativo de las luchadoras de élite examinando la relación entre las puntuaciones de las pruebas de detección de movimiento funcional y las puntuaciones de rendimiento del equilibrio estático de las luchadoras jóvenes de élite. Participaron en el estudio 19 luchadoras de élite con una edad promedio de 22,94 ± 2,67 años, un peso corporal de 61,63 ± 7,25 kg, una altura de 165,37 ± 5,17 cm y un IMC de 22,46 ± 1,60 kg / m2. La batería Functional Movement Screen Test ™ (FMST ™) se utilizó para determinar los movimientos funcionales de los participantes, mientras que Tecnobody Prokin 200 Bergamo / Italia se utilizó para determinar los valores del índice de estabilidad postural total. Todas las medidas de equilibrio estático se evaluaron como ojos abiertos con dos piernas de pie (DLEO), ojos abiertos con una sola pierna, dominante, no dominante (EOSL-DM y EOSL-ND). Dado que los valores más altos del índice de estabilidad indican una estabilidad más baja, se encontró que los participantes tenían una correlación negativa entre el equilibrio estático de la pierna no dominante y la HS. SM. y TSPU, y entre el equilibrio estático de la pierna dominante y HS. SM. y TSPU. Además, se descubrió que había una correlación negativa entre el equilibrio estático de la pierna no dominante, el equilibrio estático de la pierna dominante y el equilibrio estático de las dos piernas y las puntuaciones FMST ™ de los participantes. Los resultados de esta investigación pueden ser muy efectivos para mejorar el proceso educativo en el campo de la lucha libre

Hemophagocytosis in the Acute Phase of Fatal Kawasaki Disease in a 4 Month-Old Girl

Background: Kawasaki disease is a systemic vasculitis predominately affecting coronary arteries. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis can complicate the course of Kawasaki disease. Rare cases of secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis occurring during the acute phase of Kawasaki disease have been reported. Case Report: We report here a 4 month-old girl with diffuse coronary ectasia and secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis occurring during the acute phase of incomplete Kawasaki disease. Conclusion: Due to the large overlap in clinical symptoms, the presence of atypical findings for Kawasaki disease should suggest the possible diagnosis of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in these patients
