Objective Rates of obesity have risen steeply in the western world in all age groups. Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT) is characterized by a cluster of symptoms. Daytime sleepiness, commonly seen in obesity, may share a similar origin with sleepiness and daydreaming symptoms of SCT. This study aims to investigate the relationship between obesity, SCT, daytime sleepiness, and eating habits. Method Adolescents, aged between 10–17 years, with a BMI >95th centile, were recruited to the study. Clinical interviews were supplemented with standardized questionnaires. Results Of the 35 adolescents, more than one quarter ( N = 10, 28.6%) had SCT. Emotional overeating and food enjoyment subscale scores showed moderate correlations with the SCT scores, though these associations were not significant when controlling for ADHD symptoms. Daytime sleepiness score in adolescents with SCT was found to be significantly higher than those without. Conclusion Sluggish Cognitive Tempo is frequently present in adolescents with obesity and associated with higher levels of emotional overeating, food enjoyment, and daytime sleepiness. Targeting aspects of SCT might offer additional avenues to assist in weight management programs for youth.
Herpetik dolama, el ve nadiren ayak parmaklarında distal falanksları tutan ağrılı nonpürülan veziküler lezyonlarla karakterize cilt enfeksiyonudur. Olgumuz işaret parmağında kızarıklık ve şişlik nedeniyle acile başvurup lokal drenaj ve oral antibiyoterapiye rağmen şikayetleri artarak devam eden on aylık bir kız hastayı bildirmektedir. Alınan ayrıntılı anamnezde, abisinde herpes labialisi olması ve hastada herpetik stomatit ile uyumlu lezyonların da görülmesi üzerine herpetik dolama tanısı konuldu. Asiklovir tedavisi sonrası ağız ve parmak lezyonları hızlıca geriledi. Herpetik dolama, nadir görülmesi ve olguların %65'inde başlangıçta yanlış tanı alıp lokal drenaj uygulanmasına neden olması açısından önemli bir cilt enfeksiyonudur. Ayrıca aile içi temaslı herpes labialis, herpetik dolamadan herpetik ensefalite kadar ciddi morbidite ve mortalite ile sonuçlanabilir. Bu nedenle izolasyon önlemleri bir kez daha ailelere anlatılmalıdır.
