Postnatal care (PNC) should be delivered appropriately to ensure a positive postnatal experience; however, there has been little discussion of evidence...
Comparative analysis of adolescent hypertension definitions for predicting early-adulthood carotid artery intima-media thickness: Tehran lipid and glucose study
Maryam Barzin, Shirin Yaghoobpoor, Maryam Mahdavi, Behnaz Abiri, Majid Valizadeh, Fereidoun Azizi, Pooneh Dehghan, Farhad Hosseinpanah
Background: Definitions of childhood and adolescent hypertension (HTN) do not precisely elucidate the relationship between HTN and cardiovascular outcomes.

Double-negative T cells in pediatric rheumatic diseases
Dimitri Poddighe, Tilektes Maulenkul, Kuanysh Dossybayeva, Gulsamal Zhubanova, Zaure Mukusheva, Lyudmila Akhmaltdinova
Double-negative (CD4-CD8-) T (DNT) cells have been implicated in Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS), where their expansion inside the circulating pool of T cells represents a diagnostic criterion. Recent experimental evidence has supported the immunomodulatory roles of DNT cells, and studies in adult patients have suggested that they may be altered in some immune-mediated conditions. This study aimed to retrieve available...
