MicroRNA Profiling as a Novel Tool in the Diagnostics of Late-Onset Neonatal Sepsis
Background/Objectives: The incidence of late-onset sepsis (LOS) has increased with improved survival rates in premature infants. Blood culture, the diagnostic "gold standard", requires at least 36-72 h for results, leading to empiric antibiotic use and potential resistance. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as promising biomarkers for sepsis in adults, but their role in neonatal LOS remains unclear. The aim of this scoping review is to identify the…
Sex Differences in Wheezing During the First Three Years of Life After Delivery via Caesarean Section
Girls born by caesarean section developed wheezing more frequently than their vaginally born counterparts during the first three years of life. Although male sex proved an overall predisposing factor to preschool wheezing, boys born by caesarean section were not diagnosed with wheezing more frequently than those delivered vaginally
Quality of Life of Adolescents and Young Adults After Testicular Prosthesis Surgery During Childhood
Testicular prosthesis surgery performed from childhood to adulthood may create profound and variable concerns, which may affect the recipients and their companions in the long term. Therefore, it should not be considered in a simplistic manner as a routine procedure and should be preceded by thorough conversation with experts
Knowledge, Perceptions and Intention of Acceptance of RSV Vaccine Amongst Women in Western Greece – A Cross-Sectional Study
Immunization of pregnant women against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has been recently licensed for use worldwide. In this study, we aimed to assess knowledge, perceptions and potential RSV vaccine acceptance in future pregnancy in mothers of children under 2 years old attending a Tertiary hospital. Α questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted between January and May 2024 (including period of RSV peak circulation in Greek climate…
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Performance of Children Born Non-Extremely Preterm
Data on exercise tolerance of children born non-extremely preterm are sparse. We aimed to explore the cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) characteristics in this population. We studied 63 children (age 7-12 years) born at 29 0/7 -36 6/7 weeks of gestation (34 were late preterm, 29 were preterm) and 63 age-matched, term-born controls. All performed spirometry and CPET (cycle ergometry). There were no differences in activity levels and spiromet…
New Clinical Markers of Oxidized Lipid-Associated Protein Damage in Children and Adolescents with Obesity
Obesity in children and adolescents has been associated with oxidative stress (OS). The lipid hydroperoxides (LOOH) and the malondialdehyde (MDA) and thiobarbituric reactive substances (TBARS) that oxidatively modify proteins (Pr) (i.e., PrMDA and PrTBARS, respectively) represent markers of OS-associated lipid peroxidation. We aimed to assess OS in children and adolescents with obesity using-for the first time-markers involved in the early and la…
Neurofilament Light Chain Concentration in Cerebrospinal Fluid in Children with Acute Nontraumatic Neurological Disorders
(1) Introduction: This pilot study aimed to analyze neurofilament light chain levels in cerebrospinal fluid (cNfL) in a cohort of children with different acute nontraumatic neurological conditions. (2) Methods: This prospective observational cohort study consisted of 35 children aged 3 months to 17 years and was performed from November 2017 to December 2019. Patients' clinical data were reviewed, and patients were assigned to the following groups…
Novel Indices to Improve the Diagnostic Ability of Nocturnal Oximetry in Children with Osas
Nocturnal pulse oximetry (NOx) is an alternative diagnostic test for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in childhood yet with variable diagnostic performance. Our aim was to apply advanced signal analysis to develop novel and more accurate NOx indices. We studied 45 children aged 3-10 years who underwent adenotonsillectomy for adenotonsillar hypertrophy and OSAS symptoms. Participants performed NOx before and three months after surgery, and …
Post-Traumatic Stress as a Psychological Effect of Mild Head Injuries in Children
Mild head injuries may affect the emotional welfare of children. Healthcare providers should understand the importance of the psychological effect of this overlooked type of injury. They should be trained in the psychological effect of trauma and be aware of this probability, promptly notify the parents accordingly, and provide psychological assistance beyond medical treatment. Follow-up and support are needed to avoid the possibility of future p…
Association between History of Prolonged Exclusive Breast-Feeding and the Lung Function Indices in Childhood
Although the propitious effects of breastfeeding on children's health are indisputable, the impact of exclusive breastfeeding on the lung function later in life remains controversial. Our objective was to explore the possible associations between breastfeeding and the lung function of children who were exclusively breastfed for an extensive period of time. This was a cross-sectional study of children who were exclusively breastfed for more than 1…
Knowledge and Attitudes of Medical and Nursing Students in Greece Regarding Child Abuse and Neglect
Data on the knowledge and attitudes of healthcare practitioners in training regarding child abuse and neglect (CAN) are scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge and attitudes regarding CAN of medical and nursing students in Greek universities. We performed a questionnaire-based e-survey on a convenience sample of students and recruited 609 students (366 medical and 243 nursing). An unsatisfactory level of knowledge in the fi…
The Psychological Impact of Covid-19 Admission on Families
The aim of the present study was to assess the psychological impact of hospitalization during the COVID-19 pandemic on parents and their offspring. We performed a nationwide cross-sectional study in Greece based on an Internet questionnaire survey. A convenience sample of parents whose offspring had been hospitalized due to COVID-19 (including multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, MIS-C), diagnosed with COVID-19 but not hospitalized, and…
Parental education moderates the association between indoor moisture environment and asthma in adolescents
Adolescents whose parents had a higher education level had lesser odds to have asthma, even if they were exposed to a moisture home environment. This could be attributed to the increased knowledge about asthma risk factors and the improved measures for the amelioration of moisture-home environment that highly educated parents are more likely to take. Further research is needed in order to elucidate the interweaved role of family SES in the aforem…
Translation and Validation Study of the Hypoglycemia Fear Survey in a Greek Population of Children and Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and their Parents
The present study attempted to translate and culturally adapt an established research instrument, the Hypoglycemia Fear Survey (HFS) questionnaire, to the Greek population and evaluate its validity and internal consistency so that it can be used for the assessment of hypoglycemia fear in Greek children and adolescents with T1DM and their parents. One hundred Greek children and adolescents with T1DM, 54 males, 6-18 years old, and one of their pare…
