“…The mean of the three measurements was considered as BP. Those with affirmed high BP at the first visit, were followed-up for BP assessment after a 2-week salt-abstinence diet, as the main intervention in children include life-style modification and salt-free diet [21].…”

In order for a living being to grow, it needs building substances that it gets through food. Food also provides the necessary energy for dividing cells. Organisms grow by increasing the number of their cells. Cells first enlarge, and then divide. Auxology as a branch of biological anthropology studies human growth and development as a reflection of biological processes and the action of socioeconomic factors.

BackgroundDespite the declining global prevalence of preterm birth, it accounts for a certain proportion of births in developing countries. Those born earlier, are prone to have lower birth weight (BW), smaller kidneys, lower glomerular filtration rate, higher blood pressure (BP) and overall poorer future cardio-metabolic health outcomes. MethodsThe current cross-sectional study was conducted on relatively healthy individuals aged 3-18 years with no PMH of any specific diseases, and not in toxic or ill condition. Recruitment was in 2 phases for the participants with high BP at the first visit (regarding a 2-week follow-up BP assessment) and in 1 phase for the normotensive participants.ResultsAmong the total 600 participants, the prevalence of elevated BP, grade 1 hypertension (HTN), and grade 2 HTN was 5.2, 5.5, and 2.3%, respectively. The prevalence of children with very low birth weight, low birth weight, and high birth weight was 1.7, 8.7, and 4.5%, respectively. Chi-square analysis showed no statistically significant association between BW and BP (P-value=0.774). There was a statistically significant association between BP and height, weight, and heart rate (HR) (P-value<0.05). ConclusionsThere is no statistically significant interaction between BP and BW. The association illustrated by previous studies may be caused by other underlying factors including weight or by methodological limitations including nor follow-up BP assessment, neither excluding ill, toxic, and hospitalized children. There is a direct relationship between BP and HR, weight, and height. However, the relationship between BP and the two latter is inverted for BP above grade 2 HTN.Trial RegistrationDesign of the current study was approved by the ethics committee of the Research Institute for Arak University of Medical Sciences. Ethics Code: IR.ARAKMU.REC.1400.271

“…54 Stroke mimic not recognized as PRES leads to incorrect diagnostic pathway with potential for iatrogenic harm through improper administration of thrombolytic therapy. 66 When compared to the high income countries also, poverty and poor clinical settings in LMIC contributes to the diagnostic challenges and may contribute to limited research interest in pediatric PRES with consequent underreporting of PRES [67][68][69] Most of the reports of pediatric PRES have been from developed countries 2,4,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] and a few from Africa. Nandi and colleagues 70 in South Africa were able to diagnose PRES in 4 children with novel aetiological associations: hypoxia following accidental strangulation, near-drowning episode, a child with thalassaemia receiving routine blood transfusions, and a fourth child who had PRES while recovering from toxic epidermal necrolysis syndrome (TENS).…”

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a rare clinical syndrome that has been observed in different age groups, including pediatric patients. Identified triggers of PRES in both children and adults have included immunosuppressive and cytotoxic agents, organ transplantation, severe sepsis, blood transfusion, or evidence of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1). Its clinical and radiological courses have been reported as mostly benign and reversible over days to weeks. Computed tomography (CT) scans are helpful in diagnosis, but magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains the gold standard. Unfortunately, because of the prohibitive costs of such medical equipment, diagnosis remains a challenge in developing countries. There is a dearth of information about pediatric PRES in resource–poor settings. This narrative aims to draw attention to the possible existence of PRES in children and to identify factors responsible for the difficulty in making the diagnosis. This review will hopefully increase awareness of PRES among pediatricians in order to make early diagnosis and institute appropriate management of this condition.
