We found an increased risk of CS and poor neonatal outcome after second labour induction in prolonged pregnancies. The second labour vaginal success rate after induction was highly dependent, on first labour delivery mode, but also on diagnoses and conditions present at the first delivery.

FH is the most common preventable cause of death in developed countries. In 2016, the national lipid screening program in school-age children has been started in Turkey. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of lipid screening program, lipid-lowering treatments, and the challenges of treatments in children diagnosed with FH. Methods Patients diagnosed with FH in the pediatric metabolism outpatient clinic were retrospectively evaluated. Changes in lipid profile with dietary interventions and statin treatments were assessed. The results of cascade screening were analyzed. Results Fifty-one patients diagnosed with FH were enrolled in the study. Twenty-four (47.1%) were female. The mean age of the patients was 9.8 ± 3.2 years. Heterozygous LDLR gene mutation was detected in all patients. Three novel pathogenic variations were revealed with the genetic investigation. Forty-one (80.4%) patients had high adherence to CHILD-2 dietary recommendations. The mean low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level decreased by 14.5 ± 7.6% after dietary intervention. Parents refused to start statin treatment in 8 (15.7%) patients. Statin treatment was initiated to 22 (43.1%) patients. Mean LDL-C level decreased from 204.1 ± 19.1 mg/dL to 137.0 ± 13.1 mg/dL. In cascade screening, 7 (13.7%) parents without a diagnosis of FH were diagnosed with FH. After the screening program, statin treatment was initiated for 18 (35.3%) parents and 7 (16.3%) siblings. Conclusions We can conclude that screening for FH in children is crucial for diagnosing FH not only in children but also in their relatives. Although statins are safe and effective in achieving the target LDL-C level, we determined significant resistance for initiating statin treatment in patients.Background Obesity and obesity-related diseases are one of the common health problems worldwide and have also been proposed to be important predictors of blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk. The aim of our study is to determine the utility of different anthropometric measurements (body mass index [BMI], skinfold thickness [SFT], waist circumference [WC], mid-upper arm circumference [MUAC], arm circumference-height ratio [AHtR], and waist circumference-height ratio [WHtR]) as markers of hypertension (HT) risk in adolescents. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 544 participants aged between 12 and 13 years were included. Anthropometric measurements and blood pressure of participants were measured. The association of different anthropometric measurements with blood pressure was evaluated. Results The frequency of both elevated blood pressure and HT was 30.2%. Biceps, triceps, and suprailiac SFT have an impact on HT in girls but only suprailiac SFT in boys. WC measurements above the 85th percentile were strongly correlated with HT conditions, and this relationship was stronger in boys than in girls (3.3 vs. 2.6 fold). MUAC, WHtR, and AHtR measurements also have strong correlation with HT in boys but only WHtR has a poor relation in girls. In boys and girls with obesity, there was a positive association between obesity and blood pressures. Conclusions Not only age-related BMI z scores but also a number of other anthropometric measurements, such as WC, SFT, MUAC, WHtR, and AHtR, could have an influence on high blood pressure. The influence changes with gender during adolescence.Objectives To estimate the pooled prevalence estimates of the malocclusion among child and adolescent population of India. Contents A comprehensive electronic search was carried to find studies related to assessing malocclusion in Indian children and adolescent population. U0126 supplier Indices and classifications considered for pooled analysis were Dental Aesthetic Index, Index of Orthodontic Treatment Needs, Angles classification and terminal plane relationship of primary secondary molars. An eligibility criterion was prepared and quality assessment was done for all the eligible studies. Initial search produced 1090 titles. After removal of duplicates, 850 records were left for further screening. Eighty one articles were found eligible for full text reading. Finally 60 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Pooled prevalence was used to estimate overall effect, with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Statistical difference between the two genders was calculated using chi square test. Summary and outlook The high prevalence of malocclusion is a public health problem around the world. The current status of burden of malocclusion among Indian children and adolescents is not known. Results of this pooled analysis showed that prevalence of malocclusion among Indian children and adolescents has increased since the last national oral health survey. Prevalence of malocclusion ranged from 28.4% (CI 25.02, 31.9) to 66.7% (CI 50.7, 81.06) depending on the type of index or classification used for recording. Boys recorded higher cumulative prevalence than girls. These findings can be utilized by oral health policy makers to draft measures required for reducing this burden of malocclusion.Objectives Hair is important for individuals due to its cosmetic functions and its anatomical and physiological features. Hair loss in children significantly affects their social and psychological well-being and may lead to significant psychological distress in those not benefiting from medical and/or traditional therapies. Accordingly, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the self-esteem in children and adolescents with alopecia areata. Methods This comparative study included children and adolescents with the diagnosis of alopecia and age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Self-esteem was evaluated by the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). Results The study included 64 patients with alopecia (M/F, 32/32; mean age, 12.2 ± 3.0 years) and 60 healthy controls (M/F, 30/30; mean age, 12.0 ± 3.0 years). Age (p=0.64) and sex (p=1.0) distributions were similar between the groups. Of the patients, 35 had alopecia areata, 21 had alopecia universalis, and eight had alopecia totalis. The RSES score of patients was significantly higher than that of the controls (median [interquartile range], 1 [0-2] and 1 [0-1], respectively; p=0.
