It was thought that organizing smoking cessation training for physicians would contribute positively to the treatment of patients.

Physicians who work with pediatric and adolescent patients in Turkey have low levels of awareness about smoking addiction and they do not feel competent. Considering that tobacco and related addictions are gradually increasing in children and adolescents, physicians must receive training in the area of smoking cessation methods and start practicing these methods. It was thought that organizing smoking cessation training for physicians would contribute positively to the treatment of patients.

To evaluate the birth prevalence of specifically selected major congenital anomalies and to determine the correlated neonatal and maternal characteristics.

Data were collected retrospectively from hospital-based records of infants who were born at 22 completed weeks of gestation with a birth weight of more than 500 g in Zekai Tahir Burak Gynecology Training and Research Hospital between 2013 and 2018. Abortions, stillbirths, and terminated pregnancies due to fetal anomalies were excluded. Average annual prevalences were calculated for each selected major congenital anomaly.

The total prevalence of congenital anomalies was 9.97 per 1000 in 102 379 live birth cohorts. The prevalence of severe congenital heart anomalies (SI-SII) was found as 21.1 per 10 000 live births. Down syndrome and meningomyelocele were the second and third most common anomalies, after congenital heart defects (13.87 and 9.97 per 10 000 live births, respectively). The prevalence of anomalies requiring specific surgery was found as 4.ngomyelocele were found to be the most common congenital anomalies, respectively.

Urinary tract infections are the most common genitourinary tract disease in children, and inappropriate antibiotic and/or dose selection increase the likelihood of resistance. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of urinary tract infection pathogens, patterns of resistance to antibiotics, and empirical treatment options.

Between January 2013 and December 2017, urine culture and antibiogram results of pediatric patients aged 0 days to 16 years were analyzed retrospectively. Antibiotic susceptibilities were determined using disc diffusion according to methods of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute.

Of the 1326 children with culture growth, 1070 (80.6%) were female and 256 (19.3%) were male. ABT-869 cost The most common microorganism found was (1138, 85.8%) E. Coli, followed by Klebsiella spp. (71, 5.3%), Enterobacter spp. (44, 3.3%), and Proteus spp. (28, 2.1%). High frequency of resistance to ampicillin, ampicillin-sulbactam, amoxicillin-clavulanate, cefuroxime axetil, as TMP-SMX was detected in all microorganisms, whereas resistance to amikacin, meropenem, imipenem, ertapenem, fosfomycin, and nitrofurantoin was low.

E. coli was the most common causative agent of urinary tract infections in childhood. High resistance to ampicillin, ampicillin-sulbactam, amoxicillin-clavulanate, cefuroxime axetil, and TMP-SMX was detected in all agents in our center.

Acute bronchiolitis is a lower respiratory tract infection caused by viral agents in children aged under two years. Treatment includes hydration, oxygen, nebulized salbutamol, and intravenous steroids. This study aimed to determine the clinically related factors, the effect of viral agents on the clinical picture, and the efficacy of treatment methods in patients admitted with acute bronchiolitis.

Patients aged under two years of age who were hospitalized with a diagnosis of moderate/severe acute bronchiolitis between March 2015 and March 2019 were included in the study. Demographic data, hospitalization time, body temperature, presence of congenital heart disease, history of atopy, acute-phase reactants, mean platelet volume values, and respiratory virus panel results were recorded. The treatment modalities, length of hospitalization, intensive care hospitalization, and high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HFNC) were recorded.

Four hundred twenty-two patients were included in the study. The durationd therapy prolonged the hospitalization period due to the treatment discontinuation steps.

Rhinovirus was the most common cause of acute bronchiolitis in our study. It was observed that congenital heart disease prolonged the length of hospitalization. In the treatment approaches, it was observed that hydration and oxygen therapy were sufficient treatment methods for the patients, in accordance with the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and giving nebulized therapy prolonged the hospitalization period due to the treatment discontinuation steps.

In Turkey, improvements in sanitation and the implementation of a vaccination program resulted in reduced rates of childhood exposure to hepatitis A virus. The incidence of symptoms and the complications of the disease are known to be increased in later ages. We aimed to describe changes in the seroprevalence of hepatitis A virus from the pre-vaccine era (2012) to the post-vaccine era (2018) in different age groups.

Levels of anti-hepatitis A virus immunoglobulin (Ig)-G of patients with no chronic disease and who were admitted to our hospital between 2013-2018 were obtained retrospectively from a single children's hospital database system.

A total of 3238 subjects were enrolled in the study (2820 children, 418 adults). The overall percentage of seropositivity was 60.5% in group 1 (age ≤2 years), 57.9% in group 2 (age 2-6 years), 31.2% in group 3 (age 7-11 years), 32.7% in group 4 (age 12-18 years), 44.6% in group 5 (age 19-24 years), and 73.9% in group 6 (age >25 years). Between 2013-2018, the increase in the number of seropositive individuals in group 2 (p<0.01), and the decrease in groups 3 and 4 were statistically significant from 2013 to 2018 (p=0.028, p<0.01).

According to the data of this single-center children's hospital in Turkey, hepatitis A virus seropositivity increases significantly in the preschool age group, but decreases in school-age children and adolescents after vaccination.
