Angiotensin-converting enzyme gene insertion/deletion polymorphism frequency in normotensive children with a positive family history of essential hypertension

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: We found that the ACE gene DD genotype was common and that BP levels were higher in Turkish children with a positive family history of EHT and DD genotype. Because the presence of DD allele might be the one of the potential contributor of EHT pathogenesis, further studies needed in large cohort for long term follow-up for EHT in children with DD allele.

Family functioning at meals relates to adherence in young children with type 1 diabetesEmail this article to a colleague.

Conclusions: This was the first study to examine the relationship between mealtime family functioning and children's dietary adherence and glycaemic control in families of young children with T1DM. Previous research has found mealtime family functioning to be impaired in families of young children with T1DM when compared with families of children without diabetes. Research is needed to determine if family functioning and dietary adherence can be improved via specific family-based behavioural training around mealtimes.

This paper provides a general overview of the literature investigating the nexus between education and health; discussing the relationship between these domains at individual, family and community levels. We then briefly examine the programme and research implications of such a framework for interventions aimed at improving education and health, with specific reference to young Indigenous Australians. We find that while education and health are inextricably linked, throughout the life course and at different levels of influence, there is less empirical work exploring this relationship in an Indigenous context. Given the gr...

Children suffering from difficult-to-control asthma (DCA) require frequent appointments with their physician, complex treatment regimes and often admissions to hospital. Less than 5% of the asthmatic population suffer this condition. DCA must be correctly characterised to rule out false causes of DCA and requires making a differential diagnosis from pathologies that mimic asthma, comorbidity, environmental and psychological factors, and analysing the factors to determine poor treatment compliance. In true DCA cases, inflammation studies (exhaled nitric oxide, induced sputum, broncho-alveolar lavage and bronchial biops...

Conclusion ACD is a rare congenital intestinal anomaly located posterior to the anus. It can be confused with other types of anorectal
pathologies, such as hemorrhoids, fistula-in-ano, and perianal abscess at the time of diagnosis. Although ACD is often asymptomatic,
it should be removed surgically because of the risk of inflammatory complications and colloidal cancer.

Abstract Perinatal testicular torsion is a relatively rare event that remains unrecognized in many patients or is suspected and treated
accordingly only after an avoidable loss of time. The authors report their own experience with several patients, some of them
quite atypical but instructive. Missed bilateral torsion is an issue, as are partial torsion, possible antenatal signs, and
late presentation. These data are discussed together with the existing literature and may help shed new light on the natural
course of testicular torsion and its treatment. The most important conclusion is that a much higher inde...
