Objective Psychiatric diagnoses of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), the severity of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms of the patients and their primary caregivers, and the effects of these factors on treatment were investigated. Methods Sixty‐one patients with T1DM were included in the study along with their parents. Psychiatric diagnoses of the patients were determined using a semistructured psychiatric interview, and their depression and ADHD symptom severities were evaluated with self‐report scales. The ADHD symptom severities of the parents were evaluated using self‐report scales. The relationships among the psychiatric symptoms and the hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose (FBG), and postprandial blood glucose (PBG) levels of the patients were investigated. Results HbA1c levels were found to correlate with the hyperactivity levels of children and the number of diagnoses they had. FBG and PBG values of patients diagnosed with ADHD were found to be higher than in those who did not have ADHD. HbA1c, FBG, and PBG values of the patients who had any disruptive behavior disorder were found to be higher than in those who did not. ADHD total scores, gender (being female), having diagnoses of ADHD or depression were found to be predictive of HbA1c levels according to the regression analyses. No relationship between the clinical findings of the children and their parents' ADHD levels was found. Conclusions The findings of this study implicate that children with T1DM should be evaluated in terms of ADHD which could have negative effects on the treatment.

The 2009 flu outbreak in humans, known as H1N1 influenza A, refers to influenza A due to a new H1N1 strain called swine-origin influenza virus A. The signs and symptoms of novel influenza A (H1N1) virus infection are similar to those of seasonal influenza, and specific diagnostic testing is required to distinguish novel influenza A (H1N1) virus from seasonal influenza virus. It results in various degrees of infection, ranging from mild to severe to fatal. For the treatment of swine-origin influenza virus A oseltamivir and zanamivir are effective in most cases. Influenza A (H1N1) pneumonia in the newborn has not been yet reported in the literature. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a neonate of pneumonia in which influenza A (H1N1) virus was isolated.

ÖzetGiriş: Çocukluk çağında meydana gelen adli olaylar tüm dünyada önlenebilir sağlık sorunlarının başında yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmada çocuk acil kliniğine başvuran, majör travma dışı adli vaka olarak değerlendirilen hastaların klinik ve demografik özelliklerinin ve tedavi yaklaşımlarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.Yöntemler: Çocuk acil tıp kliniğimize Eylül 2015-Eylül 2016 tarihleri arasında başvuran 18 yaş altı 39756 hastadan, adli vaka olarak kabul edilen 683 hastanın dosyaları retrospektif olarak incelendi.Sonuç: Tüm dünyada olduğu gibi ülkemizde de kazalar ve intoksikasyon vakaları, önlenebilir ölüm nedenlerinin başında gelmektedir. Bu tür olayların azaltılabilmesi için çocukların yaşadığı çevrelerde ve evde güvenlik için gerekli düzenlemeler yapılmalı, güvenliği sağlamak için gerektiğinde uygun güvenlik araçları kullanılmalıdır. Ayrıca eğitimciler ve sağlık profesyonelleri tarafından çocuklara ve ebeveynlere yaralanma korunma programları çerçevesinde düzenli eğitimler verilmelidir. Konya, Türkiye e-mail: drabdullahyazar@hotmail.com Bulgular: Adli olarak değerlendirilen 683 hastanın yaş aralığı 0-17 yıl arasında olup, tüm olguların yaş ortalaması 5,82±4,7 yıl olarak bulundu. Erkek çocukların yaş ortalaması 6,37±5,1 yıl iken kız çocukların yaş ortalaması 5,36±4,3 yıl olarak tespit edildi. Çocuk acile gelen adli olguların 316'sının kız (%46,3) ve 367'sinin erkek (%53,7) olduğu tespit edildi. Adli olayların dağılımını incelediğimizde en fazla intoksikasyon vakalarının (n: 260, %38,1) görüldüğü tespit edildi. Olayların yaş gruplarına göre dağılımı incelendiğinde intoksikasyon vakalarının %77,7'sinin 5 yaş altında, öz kıyım vakalarının %76,9'unun 15 yaş üstünde, yabancı cisim yutma vakalarının %62,3'ünün ve yabancı cisim aspirasyonu vakalarının %90,5'inin 5 yaş altında, uyuşturucu kullanımı vakalarının %89,5'inin en sık 15 yaş üstünde görüldüğü tespit edildi.

Children and adolescents with cancer should be monitored closely for thrombotic complications. We discuss this uncommon case to draw attention to the importance of early diagnosis and adequate treatment of intracranial thrombosis in childhood cancer, and we review the relevant literature.

The COVID‐19 pandemic is an important cause of morbidity and mortality, which has had a negative impact worldwide. Our aim was to describe clinical findings and outcomes of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)‐CoV‐2 viral infection and COVID‐19 cared for at a large pediatric tertiary care hospital during the first year of the pandemic. Patients aged 1 month to 18 years who were diagnosed as having COVID‐19 between March 2020 and April 2021 were included. The files of patients diagnosed with COVID‐19 were reviewed retrospectively. Results: Four hundred sixty seven children were included in the study. There were 34 (7.3%) patients under 1 year of age, 111 (23.8%) between 1 and 5 years, 98 (30.4%) between 5 and 10 years, 142 (30.4%) between 11 and 15 years, and 82 (17.6%) age over 15 years. Fever (88.2%), vomiting (32.4%), and diarrhea (29.4%) in patients aged under 1 year, sore throat (36.6%) in patients aged 11−15 years, and dysgeusia (11%), anosmia (14.6%), headache (18.3%), malaise (40.8%), myalgia (28%), and shortness of breath (17.1%) in those aged over 15 years were found to be significantly more common in comparison with the other age groups ( p < 0.05). Thirty‐five (7.5%) patients were asymptomatic, 365 (78.1%) had mild disease, 35 (7.5%) were moderate, 27 (5.8%) were severe, and five (1.07%) were critical. Leukocyte count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, ferritin, and C‐reactive protein values were significantly higher in hospitalized patients. Three patients died during the study period (0.64%). While SARS‐CoV‐2 infection may be asymptomatic and COVID‐19 usually has a mild clinical course, some children have severe disease or mortality.
