The Anthropometric Measurements and Percentile Curves of Children Aged 0-5 Years in Eastern Turkey
(Univ West indies Faculty Medical Sciences, 2021) Sal, E.; Dogan, M.; Cesur, Y.; Ariyuca, S.; Basaranoglu, M.; Kaya, A.; Mazicioglu, M.
Objective: To determine the growth reference value of children in our province and to compare these values with current values of the USA and other local values of our country. Methods: A total of 615 boys and 586 girls with different socioeconomic levels and ages of 0-5 years were included in the study. In all children, weight, height, head circumference, abdominal circumference, hip circumference, mid-arm circumference, and lower segment length were taken. All measurements were performed by the same paediatrician. The lambda-mu-sigma method was used for the preparation of percentile curves. Results: The body weight, head circumference and chest circumference measurements of boys were significantly higher than those in girls. Anthropometric measurements of children in high-income groups were higher than those in the low-income group. All of the anthropometric parameters except upper mid-arm circumference were higher in children fed with breast milk and formula milk than in children who only fed with breast milk. The relation between the mother's education level and anthropometric parameters was insignificant. Conclusion: Our results showed that the anthropometric measurements of our children were similar to those of west Turkey as well as those of the United States. On the other hand, our children's anthropometric measurements were higher than other local values. Relatively high values of height have been interpreted as a genetic feature.
Brucellosis as a Trigger Agent for Henoch-Schonlein Purpura
(Comenius Univ, 2012) Akgun, C.; Akbayram, S.; Guner, S.; Aktar, F.; Temel, H.; Basaranoglu, M.
Vasculitis in childhood is a result of a spectrum of causes ranging from idiopathic conditions with primary vessel inflammation to syndromes after exposure to recognized antigenic triggers, such as infectious agents and drugs causing hypersensitivity reactions. Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) is the most common vasculitis of childhood. Although there is often a history of a recent or simultaneous upper respiratory tract infection, no consistent causative organism is found. We report an 11-year old boy with HSP and brucellosis and we speculated that brucellosis was the trigger agent for HSP (Ref. 13). Full Text in PDF www.elis.sk.
Ewing's Sarcoma Localized in the Mandible: a Case Report
(Univ West indies Faculty Medical Sciences, 2015) Akbayram, S.; Basaranoglu, M.; Kaya, A.; Acikgoz, M.; Ustyol, L.; Taskin, G. A.; Dogan, M.
Ewing's sarcoma is one of the most aggressive primary bone tumours. Ewing's sarcoma arising from the bones of the head and neck region is extremely rare; only 4-9% of all Ewing's sarcoma originate in this region. We report a case of Ewing's sarcoma localized in the mandible because of its unusual presentation.
