Higher motivation could support to lead behavioral change for obese children and adolescents. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a nutrition care process (NCP)-based intervention targeted on diet and weight status in moderate to severe obese children and adolescents in Korea. One hundred four subjects (mean age 10.95 years, body mass index (BMI) ≥97th percentile of age-sex) participated in the present study. Subjects were divided into a usual care group (UG) and a nutrition group (NG). All participants underwent nutrition education 6 times. The NG received individual access and continuous monitoring and setting goals with respect to nutritional problems. Consumption of high-calorie, low-nutrient (HCLN) food was significantly decreased (P less then .05) and the Diet Quality Index-International (DQI-I) score also increased with respect to sodium (P less then .001). The total self-efficacy score was increased from 9.15 to 10.14 points (P less then .01). After 24 weeks, the BMI-z-score decreased from 2.27 to 2.19 in the NG (P less then .05); however, no group difference was found. BMI-z-score was negatively associated with self-efficacy (β = -0.03, P less then .019). NCP-based intervention might be helpful to solve dietary problems by enhancing self-efficacy and lower BMI-z-score in moderately to severely obese children and adolescents.
Sugammadex is an alternative pharmacological drug capable of reversing neuromuscular blockades without the limitations that are presented by anticholinesterase drugs. Coagulation disorders that are related to treatment with sugammadex were reported. The exact mechanism of the effects on coagulation are not fully understood. The objective of this research is to evaluate the effects of rocuronium, sugammadex and the rocuronium-sugammadex complex on coagulation in an experimental model in rats.

This is an experimental randomized animal study. Wistar rats were randomly assigned into the following groups the Control Group; the Ssal Group - 0.5mL of intravenous saline; the Sugammadex Group - intravenous sugammadex (100mg.kg
); and the Rocuronium-Sugammadex Group - intravenous solution with rocuronium (3.75mg.kg
) and sugammadex (100mg.kg
). Anesthesia was performed by using isoflurane with controlled ventilation. Coagulation factors were measured10minutes after the end of the preoperative preparation and 30minutes after the administration of the drugs in accordance with the chosen groups.

Platelet counts, prothrombin times and activated partial thromboplastin times were similar between the groups and between the moments within each group. There were reductions in the plasma fibrinogen levels between sample times1and2 in the Rocuronium-Sugammadex group (p=0.035).

The rocuronium-sugammadex complex promoted reductions in plasma fibrinogen counts, although the levels were still within normal limits.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of allergic rhinitis (AR) on the development, progression, and recovery of acute otitis media (OM) in an animal model and investigate the secondary effects of bacterial infection.

BALB/c mice were divided into four groups AR+OM, AR, OM, and control groups. AR+OM and AR groups were sensitized with ovalbumin (OVA) and alum and then challenged intranasally with OVA. Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was administered to the OM and control groups the same number of times. After AR induction, OM was induced by surgical inoculation of non-typeable Haemophilus influenza (NTHi) into the middle ear (ME) cavity of the mice in the AR+OM and OM groups. PBS was injected into the bulla in the AR and control groups. Each group was subdivided into sets of six mice, one for each of the four time points (0, 2, 7, and 10 days post-bacterial inoculation), at which point the mice were euthanized and ME and nasal cavity mucosa were obtained and evaluated. The occurrence of Oesponse (IL-4 and IL-5) cytokines were expressed at higher levels in the AR+OM and AR groups than in the OM and control groups.

The inflammatory reaction to NTHi was more intense and lasted longer in the allergic group, which indicates that AR affects the progression and subsequent recovery of acute bacterial OM.

We report a case of acute macroglossia that began after initiation of ethosuximide in a 15-year-old female with severe medically refractory epilepsy. Macroglossia worsened over the next two weeks of ethosuximide administration, preventing extubation. Macroglossia and laryngeal edema improved upon ethosuximide wean, and completely resolved after discontinuation. Apatinib inhibitor The patient was extubated successfully, with precautionary nasal trumpet placement and dexamethasone administration prior to extubation. In medically complex patients on multiple pharmacologic agents, anti-epileptic drugs should be suspected as a possible cause of acute macroglossia.Orbital abscess and subperiosteal abscess are pathologies which may require surgical treatment in the pediatric patient. Though rare, orbital cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak is a serious complication of abscess drainage. This paper presents a unique 5-month-old male with transorbital abscess drainage complicated by CSF leak. An endoscope was used to repair the defect through the orbitotomy incision. There was no evidence of persistent leak at follow-up. The surgical approach likely contributed to the complication, and the otolaryngologist played a key role in the leak repair. This case should serve to raise the awareness regarding considerations to avoid orbital CSF leak.Aggregation of IgE bound to the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) by a multivalent antigen induces mast cell activation, while disaggregation of aggregated FcεRI by monomer hapten immediately terminates degranulation mediated by dephosphorylation of Syk and mediates a decrease in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). The actin polymerization state is intimately involved in mast cell activation mediated by FcεRI aggregation. However, the relation between aggregation-disaggregation of FcεRI and actin rearrangement in mast cells is not well understood. The addition of a multivalent antigen rapidly depolymerized actin filaments, while the subsequent addition of monomer hapten rapidly recovered actin polymerization. Whereas cofilin, an actin-severing protein, was temporally dephosphorylated several minutes after a multivalent antigen stimulation and the addition of monomer hapten rapidly increased cofilin phosphorylation level within 30 s. The removal of extracellular Ca2+ instead of monomer hapten addition did not restore cofilin phosphorylation, suggesting that the significant decrease in [Ca2+]i by monovalent hapten was not a critical reason for the actin rearrangement.
