Objective: Optimal care in the delivery room is important to decrease neonatal morbidity and mortality. We aimed to evaluate neonatal resuscitation practices in Turkish centers. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey consisted of a 91-item questionnaire focused on delivery room practices in neonatal resuscitation and was sent to 50 Turkish centers. Hospitals with

Already existing in 37 million people worldwide,human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) tends toaffect more people and, thus, it has becomea significant health problem. Turkey is oneof the countries where HIV infection is rarelyseen. Transmission is vertical at %90 of HIV (+)infants and perinatal transmission of HIV hasbeen reduced to less than 1% with the use ofantiretroviral drugs. The risk of complicationsrelated with this prophylactic treatmentmight be accepted when relatively highermorbidity and mortality of HIV infection isconsidered. Meanwhile close follow-up ofpatients is required due to possible toxicity.The transmission of HIV into newborns can beprevented with appropriate management ofthe perinatal period. This report describes theperinatal management of two newborns thatwere delivered by HIV (+) mothers., Dünya genelinde hâlihazırda yaklaşık 37 milyonkişide bulunan kazanılmış immün yetersizlik virüsü(HIV) giderek daha fazla sayıda insanı etkilemekteve bu nedenle, önemli bir sağlıksorunu olarak kabul edilmektedir. Türkiye iseHIV’in az görüldüğü ülkeler arasında yeralmaktadır. Çocukluk çağı HIV olgularının%90’ından perinatal yolla geçiş sorumludur veantiretroviral profilaksi ile geçiş riski %1’inaltına düşürülmüştür. HIV enfeksiyonununmortalite ve morbiditesi düşünüldüğü vakitkoruyucu tedavinin komplikasyonları gözealınabilir fakat olası toksisite yönündenhastaların yakın izlemi gerekmektedir. HIVolgularının engellenmesi büyük oranda perinatalsürecin doğru yönetimiyle mümkündür.Burada HIV pozitif annelerden doğmuş olan ikiolgu incelenmiş ve literatür eşliğinde perinatalyönetim süreci gözden geçirilmiştir.

Orafarengeal aspirasyon küçük miktardaki sıvı, katı besin ya da vokal kord seviyesinin altından gelen sekresyonların akciğere kaçması olarak tanımlanır. Orofarengeal aspirasyon sonucu apne, takipne, kronik öksürük, hırıltılı solunum ve tekrarlayan hışıltı atakları gibi solunum sistemi bulguları ortaya çıkabilir. Özellikle nörolojik problemi olan (serebral palsi, doğumsal kas hastalıkları vs.) çocuklarda artmış pnömoni sıklığı ve hava yollarında sekel kalma ihtimali aspirasyonla yakından alakalı bulunmuştur. Tekrar eden pnömoni- lerde orofarengeal aspirasyon önemli bir nedendir. Biz yalnızca yanlış pozisyonda beslenmesi nedenli gürültülü bir klinik tablo ile başvuran aspirasyon pnömonili çocuk olguyu paylaşmak istedik, Oropharyngeal aspiration is defined as small volume aspiration of fluids, food particles or oral secretions below the level of the true vocal folds. Respiratory signs and consequences of oropharyngeal aspiration include apnea, tachypnea, chronic cough, noisy breat- hing, and recurrent wheeze. Oropharyngeal aspiration is associated with increased likelihood of pneumonia and other respiratory sequelae in children with neurological problems (cerebral palsy, congenital muscle diseases vs). Oropharyngeal aspiration is repor- tedly the most common cause of recurrent pneumonia in childhood. We only wanted to share presenting with a noisy clinical picture child aspiration pneumonia case because of the wrong feeding position

WOS: 000406446700005, PubMed: 28077344, Objective: This study aimed to measure the serum levels of heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) in patients presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and diabetic ketosis (DK) and to determine its role in identifying early-period cardiac ischemia. Methods: This prospective study included 35 patients diagnosed with DKA, 20 patients diagnosed with DK, and 20 control subjects. H-FABP, creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), and troponin I levels were investigated at presentation in patients with DKA and DK and in the control group. H-FABP values were measured again after acidosis correction in the DKA patients. Results: No statistically significant differences were found with respect to troponin I and CK-MB within the groups. The H-FABP values of DKA patients at presentation were found to be significantly higher than those of DK patients and the control group (p = 0.015). The H-FABP value of the DKA group was also found to be significantly higher than the value at hour 36 after acidosis correction (p = 0.0001). Conclusion: We would like to propose H-FABP as a potential marker for indicating myocardial ischemia., Selcuk UniversitySelcuk University [13102033], Selcuk University Scientific Research Project Coordinator-Project No: 13102033.
