Item Possible Risk Factors Associated with Allergic Diseases Among Perinatal and Infancy Period(AVES, 2019-01-01) Aktas, Selma; Say, AysuObjective: The aim of the study was to investigate perinatal and early-chihdood risk factors which facilitate development of allergic diseases. Methods: This study was held between the years 2009-2010 among allergic children (n=188) aged 1-16 years, followed in the Allergy Immunology outpatient clinic. The control group was composed of healthy chidren of healthcare personnel and healthy children followed in the outpatient clinic (n=72). A survey which examined the risk factors associated with asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis and urticaria-angioedema was used. Results: The number of male children in the case and control group was 106 (56.4\%) and 37 (48.6\%), respectively. The mean age of case and control group was 7.73 +/- 3.31 and 7.06 +/- 2.86 years, respectively. The mean age of patients diagnosed atopic dermatitis, asthma and allergic rhinitis was 1.77 +/- 1.30Item An Uncommon Cause of Hypernatremia in Very Low Birth Weight Premature Infants: Idiopathic Central Diabetes Insipidus(AVES, 2021-01-01) Aktas, Selma; Kazanci, Ebru; Semiz, Serap; Korkmaz, AyseCentral diabetes insipidus (CDI) is a water homeostasis disorder characterized by an inability to concentrate urine because of insufficient production of antidiuretic hormone. Dehydration with hypernatremia can occur during the neonatal period in preterm neonates in association with insensible water loss, high urine output, and reduced sodium excretion. A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose CDI in preterm neonates. We report two cases, who presented persistent hypernatremia with polyuria despite increased fluid supply and low sodium intake. CDI diagnosis was confirmed by the therapeutic test with oral vasopressin analog. Investigations were all normal
