Introduction: In this retrospective study, it was aimed to examine the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue treatment on final height in girls diagnosed with early puberty (EP) between the ages of 8 and 10. Materials and Methods: In the study, 87 girls who were diagnosed with EP and reached the final height were included. Two groups, those who received GnRH analogue treatment and those who did not, were formed. The average age, bone age, average height, height standard deviation score (SDS), body mass index SDS, target height, predicted adult height of the groups at the time of admission were calculated. The final height they reached and their menarche ages were noted. Results: No difference was found between the groups in terms of average age, average height, height SDS, bone age, body mass index SDS at the time of admission. The target height, predicted adult height, final height and the SDS of these were similar in both groups. All cases in both groups reached the target height. Conclusion: It was determined that the GnRH analogue treatment did not make a positive contribution to the final height in the EP group,

Introduction: Nowadays, children’s exposure to the obesogenic environment can lead to obesity and insulin resistance in the early period. However, it is suggested that the risk of developing health problems such as obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes may decrease with increasing adherence to the Mediterranean diet. This study was aimed to evaluate the relationship between insulin resistance and the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (KIDMED) in children and adolescents. Materials and Methods: A total of 174 children and adolescents (35.6% boys, 64.4% girls) with a mean age of 11.6±3.17 years were included in the study. The data were collected by a questionnaire containing individuals’ socio-demographic information, anthropometric measurements, KIDMED, and 24-hour food consumption records. According to World Health Organization criteria, the body mass index z-scores of the participants were evaluated, and participants were divided into three groups as normal weight (29.9%), overweight (23.6%), and obesity (46.5%).

Introduction: Kawasaki disease (KD) is a multisystemic vasculitis that has no specific serum marker. The aim of our study is to evaluate whether the serum lipid profile, specifically HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) level, in KD differs from that in other febrile illnesses and if so, it can be used as a diagnostic tool in distinguishing KD from other febrile illnesses. Materials and Methods: We examined prospectively 41 patients with KD (group 1) and 30 patients with febrile illness of viral or bacterial origin (group 2). The patients’ demographic and clinical characteristics were analyzed. All blood samples were taken during the disease’s acute phase. After fasting for four hours in infants and eight hours in young children, serum total cholesterol, HDL-C,

Introduction: Late-onset sepsis (LOS) is a major cause of death and neurodevelopmental impairment in preterm infants. In this study, our aim was to review the role of red cell distribution width to platelet ratio (RPR) to predict LOS in preterm infants. Materials and Methods: Preterm infants with ≤366/7 gestational weeks who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care (NICU) between January 2018 and 2020 were accepted in this observational cohort study. LOS group had culture-proven LOS and the control group with no LOS during their NICU stay. Complete blood cell parameters were recorded on the day of culture growth in the groups. The study cohort was classified into two groups according to the type of the growing microorganism and the RPR levels were then evaluated in intra- and inter-group analyses. Results: Eighty -five infants were included in the final analysis. RPR values were significantly higher in the LOS group (p<0.001) In the subgoup analyses, RDW and RPR values were significantly higher in the group with Gram-negative sepsis (p<0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of an RPR cutoff value of 0.17% were found to be 60% and 92% (p<0.001), respectively for predicting LOS. Conclusion: This study defined that RPR is a practical and useful marker to predict LOS in preterm infants. Future prospective studies with large study groups are needed to evaluate the role of RPR in the prediction of late-onset sepsis. red cell platelet
