Digital Health Technologies in Pediatric Infectious Disease and the Perspective of Patients and Healthcare Professionals: A Review.

Background And Aims: Pediatric infectious diseases pose a global health challenge, causing 13.7 million deaths in 2019 and three million in children under four. Early recognition and management are vital, and challenges in effectively addressing this persist, particularly in resource-limited areas.

Evolving strategies for osteoporosis management in postmenopausal women: From tradition to innovation.

Osteoporosis is a chronic condition primarily affecting postmenopausal women, significantly impacting their well-being and quality of life. Traditional treatment approaches include medications, vitamins, and exercise, but there is a growing interest in alternative therapies that enhance bone health. This review was conducted by searching multiple databases, including PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar, for studies related to osteoporosis treatment.

Association of vitamin A with gestational diabetes and thyroid disorders in pregnancy and their influence on maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and thyroid disorders during pregnancy pose significant health concerns, impacting a substantial number of mothers globally. Globally, about 14% of pregnant women develop GDM, while thyroid disorders impact approximately 2%-3%. Both conditions contribute to adverse outcomes, including gestational hypertension, excessive fetal growth, and heightened perinatal morbidity.

The enigma of sickle cell hepatopathy: Pathophysiology, clinical manifestations and therapy.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most common genetic disorders in the world predominantly affecting economically disadvantaged populations. There is a notable discrepancy between the growing adult SCD population and available diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for SCD. Sickle cell hepatopathy (SCH) is an all-inclusive term to describe the acute and chronic liver manifestations of SCD.

Effect of vitamin A on maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes: An overview of deficiency, excessive intake, and intake recommendations.

Vitamin A imbalance during pregnancy and lactation is a global public health concern with potentially negative consequences for fetuses and neonates. Inadequate vitamin A intake during this critical period can lead to anemia, weakened immune function, night blindness, and increased susceptibility to infections. Conversely, excessive intake of vitamin A can result in birth defects, hypercalcemia, and psychiatric symptoms.

Prevalence of Acute Coronary Syndrome and Various Risk Factors in Acute Stroke Patients.

Background Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Both diseases share many risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and smoking. Patients who experience acute coronary syndrome are at heightened risk of recurrent ischemic events such as ischemic strokes, one of the most feared cardiovascular events because of the risk of long-term disability.
