    The role of body temperature on respiratory rate in children with acute respiratory infections
    (2021) Ozdemir, Beril; Yalcin, Siddika Songal; 34795718
    Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the use of tachypnea as a proxy to the diagnosis of pneumonia. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between body temperature alterations and respiratory rate (RR) difference (RRD) in children with acute respiratory infections(ARI). Methods:This cross-sectional study included 297 children with age 2-60 months who presented with cough and fever at the pediatric emergency and outpatient clinics in the Department of Pediatrics, Baskent University Hospital, from January 2016 through June 2018. Each parent completed a structured questionnaire to collect background data. Weight and height were taken. Body temperature, respiratory rate, presence of the chest indrawing, rales, wheezing and laryngeal stridor were also recorded. RRD was defined as the differences in RR at admission and after 3 days of treatment. Results: Both respiratory rate and RRD were moderately correlated with body temperature (r=0.71, p<0.001 and r=0.65, p<0.001; respectively). For every 1 degrees C increase in temperature, RRD increased by 5.7/minutes in overall, 7.2/minute in the patients under 12 months of age, 6.4/minute in the female. The relationship between body temperature and RRD wasn't statistically significant in patients with rhonchi, chest indrawing, and low oxygen saturation. Conclusion: Respiratory rate should be evaluated according to the degree of body temperature in children with ARI. How-ever, the interaction between body temperature and respiratory rate could not be observed in cases with rhonchi and severe pneumonia.

    Congenital Hypothyroidism and Bone Remodeling Cycle
    (2017) Karakas, Nazmi Mutlu; Kinik, Sibel Tulgar; Ozdemir, Beril; Sahin, Nursel Muratoglu; Tekindal, M.Agah; Haberal, Aysegul; 0000-0003-4286-7086; 27840329; AAX-3831-2020
    Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the biochemical markers of bone turnover in children with congenital hypothyroidism during the course of treatment as compared to healthy children selected as controls. Methods: The study included 31 children with congenital hypothyroidism and 29 healthy children. In both groups, we evaluated serum procollagen type-1 N-terminal propeptide (PINP) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase type 5b isoform (TRACP 5b) levels as bone turnover markers. Results: In both groups, thyroid hormone levels were within normal limits. The levels of vitamin D were significantly higher in the cases with congenital hypothyroidism. Although PINP levels were not found to be different, TRACP 5b levels which are related to osteoclastic activities were significantly higher in the control group. Conclusion: We did not detect an increase in bone resorption in patients with congenital hypothyroidism, despite long-term treatment with LT4. Our results suggest that with effective vitamin D treatment and thyroxin replacement, congenital hypothyroidism is not a deleterious factor for bone turnover.
