Publication Open Access Evaluation of 563 children with chronic cough accompanied by a new clinical algorithm(2015-10-06) GEDIK, Ahmet Hakan; BAHALI, Kayhan; KUCUKKOC, Mehmet; NURSOY, Mustafa; GOKCE, Selim; Cakir, ERKAN; Ozkaya, EMİN; Uzuner, SELÇUK; Erenberk, UFUK; Torun, EMEL; DEMIR, Aysegul Dogan; AKSOY, Fadlullah; ÇAKIR, ERKAN; TORUN, EMEL; ERENBERK, UFUK; UZUNER, SELÇUK; NURSOY, MUSTAFA ATİLLA; ÖZKAYA, EMİN; AKSOY, FADLULLAHBackground: This study aims to evaluate the children with chronic cough and to analyze their etiological factors according to the age groups. Method: Five hundred sixty-three children with chronic cough were included. The last diagnosis were established and were also emphasized according to the age groups. Results: The mean age was 5.4 ± 3.8 years (2-months–17-years) and 52 % of them were male. The most common final diagnosis from all the participants were: asthma (24.9 %), asthma-like symptoms (19 %), protracted bacterial bronchitis (PBB) (11.9 %), and upper airway cough syndrome (9.1 %). However, psychogenic cough was the second most common diagnosis in the subjects over 6 years of age. Conclusion: Asthma and asthma-like symptoms were the most common diagnosis in children. Different age groups in children may have a different order of frequencies. Psychogenic cough should be thought of in the common causes especially in older children.Publication Metadata only Plasma paraoxonase activity and oxidative stress and their relationship to disease severity in children with allergic rhinitis(2013-01-01T00:00:00Z) Ozkaya, Emin; Akduman, Hasan; Erenberk, Ufuk; Demir, Aysegul; Dundaroz, M. Rusen; ERENBERK, UFUKBackground: Oxidative stress may play a role in the pathophysiology of several diseases including allergic rhinitis (AR). In children with AR an antioxidant enzyme paraoxonase (PON1) has not been previously investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate plasma PON1 activity and plasma total oxidant status (TOS), which are in the form of plasma reactive oxidants, and their association with severity of disease in house-mite-sensitive children with AR.Publication Open Access The comparition of the efficacy of two different probiotics in rotavirus gastroenteritis in children.(2012-01-01T00:00:00Z) Erdoğan, O; Tanyeri, B; Torun, EMEL; Gönüllü, E; Arslan, H; Oktem, F; TORUN, EMEL; ERENBERK, UFUKThe aim of the study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of the probiotics—Saccharomyces boulardii and Bifidobacterium lactis—in children who had been diagnosed with rotavirus gastroenteritis. Materials and methods. Seventy five patients aged between 5 months–5 years diagnosed as rotavirus gastroenteritis were included in the study. The patients diagnosed as rotavirus gastroenteritis by latex agglutination test in stool were divided into 3 groups of twenty-five patients each: First group was given oral rehydration therapy and rapid refeeding with a normal diet with Saccharomyces boulardii (spp. I-745), second group was given oral rehydration therapy and rapid refeeding with a normal diet with Bifidobacterium lactis (spp. B94, culture number: N◦118529) and third group received only oral rehydration therapy and rapid refeeding with a normal diet. Results. The duration of diarrhea was shorter in the group given oral rehydration therapy and rapid refeeding with a normal diet with Bifidobacterium lactis and Saccharomyces boulardii than the group given only oral rehydration therapy and rapid refeeding with a normal diet. Conclusion. Bifidobacterium lactis has a complemental role in the treatment of rotavirus gatroenteritis and other probiotics may also have a beneficial effect in rotavirus gastroenteritis compared with the therapy included only oral rehydration therapy and rapid refeeding with a normal diet.Publication Metadata only SIRT1 gene variants are related to risk of childhood obesity(2015-04-01) Kilic, Ulkan; GOK, Ozlem; ELIBOL-CAN, BİRSEN; Ozgen, Ilker Tolga; Erenberk, UFUK; Uysal, Omer; DUNDAROZ, Mehmet Rusen; ELİBOL, BİRSEN; ÖZGEN, İLKER TOLGA; ERENBERK, UFUK; UYSAL, ÖMERObesity is a multifactorial disorder resulting from the interaction between genetic, psychological, physical, environmental, and socioeconomic factors. SIRT1 gene has important effects on the regulation of adiponectin, caloric restriction, insulin sensitivity, coronary atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between childhood obesity and SIRT1 gene polymorphisms regarding rs7895833 A > G in the promoter region, rs7069102 C > G in intron 4, and rs2273773 C > T in exon 5 using PCR-CTPP method in 120 obese and 120 normal weight children. In this study, BMI, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, triglyceride, and insulin levels were significantly higher and HDL-cholesterol levels were significantly lower in obese children compared to normal weight children. For rs7895833 A > G, the rate of having AG genotype and G allele was significantly higher in obese children compared to non-obese group (p T. There was no significant difference for rs7069102 C > G gene polymorphism between groups.Publication Open Access A Rare Presentation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus during Childhood: Chorea(2017-04-01T00:00:00Z) DOĞAN DEMİR, AYŞEGÜL; Kucukkoc, Mehmet; Goknar, Nilufer; UYGUR ŞAHİN, TÜRKAN; ERENBERK, UFUK; DOĞAN DEMİR, AYŞEGÜL; UYGUR ŞAHİN, TÜRKAN; ERENBERK, UFUKSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic, chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune disease characterized by multi-organ and - system involvement such as the kidneys and hematologic and central nervous systems. The clinical presentation of the disease is extremely variable. Systemic findings, nephritis, neuropsychiatric disease, and cytopenia are more common in children than in adults at presentation. Chorea typically manifests with jerky, involuntary, and purposeless movements, involving the face, four limbs, and neck. In addition, patients suffer from dysarthria, gait disturbance, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Chorea can be the first finding of SLE during childhood. Herein we reported a 13-year female patient who presented with movement and speech disorders and who was diagnosed chorea-related SLE.Publication Metadata only Oxidative Stress in Children with Noninfectious Acute Urticaria(2016-03-01T00:00:00Z) ÖZKAYA, EMİN; YAZICI, MEBRURE; ERENBERK, UFUK; Dilek, Fatih; Dundaroz, Rusen; ÖZKAYA, EMİN; YAZICI, MEBRURE; ERENBERK, UFUK; İŞCAN, AKINPlasma oxidative stress parameters such as as total oxidant status (TOS) and total antioxidant status (TAS) were well studied in some chronic allergies, but their role is not well known in acute allergic disease such as acute urticaria (AU). The aim of this study is to investigate the oxidative and antioxidative status in children with AU. Eighty-seven children with noninfectious AU and 70 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Blood samples were taken for complete blood count, serum immunoglobulin E (IgE), and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels routinely and for TOS and TAS. The skin prick test was performed and/or specific IgE assays were performed as indicated. Blood samples were also taken for TAS and TOS in the control group. Forty-eight (55%) of the children with AU were male, 39 (45%) of them were female. Mean ages were 6 +/- 2.02 and 7 +/- 1.38 years in the study and control groups, respectively. TOS levels were significantly high and TAS levels were significantly lower in the acute urticarial group (P < 0.001) than controls. There was no significant correlation between age, total IgE levels, or eosinophil count and TAS and TOS levels in children with AU. Plasma TOS levels are elevated in children with AU. The high level of TOS indicates that children with AU were exposed to severe oxidative stress.Publication Metadata only Bone mineral density and associated parameters in pre-pubertal children with asthma treated with long-term fluticasone propionate.(2013-03-01) OZKAYA, EMİN; Çakır, ERKAN; UZUNER, SELÇUK; ERENBERK, UFUK; DUNDARÖZ, MR; ÖZKAYA, EMİN; ÇAKIR, ERKAN; UZUNER, SELÇUK; ERENBERK, UFUKPublication Metadata only Short-term efficacy of ORS formulation and propranolol regimen in children with POTS(2020-08-01T00:00:00Z) YOZGAT, Yılmaz; OTÇU TEMUR, Hafize; Coban, Senay; Oner, Taliha; Karaarslan, Utku; Yozgat, Can Yilmaz; Karadeniz, Cem; ERGÖR, Serap Nur; ERENBERK, UFUK; YOZGAT, YILMAZ; OTÇU TEMUR, HAFİZE; ERGÖR, SERAP NUR; ERENBERK, UFUKBackground: To evaluate the short-term effectiveness of reduced-osmolarity oral rehydration salt formulation (ORS) and propranolol in children diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) in head-up tilt testing (HUTT).Publication Metadata only Extraordinary cause of complete colonic obstruction in children: Urinary retention(2014-06-01) KILINÇASLAN, Huseyin; SILAY, Mesrur Selcuk; ERDEM, Mehmet Remzi; DÖNMEZ, Tugrul; BİLİCİ, Mustafa; Erenberk, UFUK; ERENBERK, UFUKComplete colonic obstruction in children may occur secondary to congenital, and acquired factors related to the gastrointestinal system. Herein, we report an extraordinary presentation of complete colonic obstruction due to extensive urinary retention in a 3-year-old boy. The possible underlying mechanism was detected as urinary infection in a child with horseshoe kidney. The treatment of the bladder symptoms and urinary infection relieved the obstruction of the colon. To our knowledge, especially in children, colonic obstruction due to urinary retention has not been reported in the literature.Publication Metadata only Skin temperature measurement using an infrared thermometer on patients who have been exposed to cold.(2013-12-01) ERENBERK, UFUK; TORUN, EMEL; OZKAYA, EMİN; Uzuner, SELÇUK; DEMIR, AD; DUNDAROZ, R; ERENBERK, UFUK; TORUN, EMEL; ÖZKAYA, EMİN; UZUNER, SELÇUK
