Current Pediatric Research

The branch of medicine that deals with health and medical care of Infants, children and adolescents up to the age of 18 years is called as Pediatrics.

Current Pediatric Research is an International Journal of Pediatrics aiming to publish the quality articles related to the pediatric research. This Pediatric Journal is a unique platform for the Pediatricians all over the world to share their ideas, views and the ongoing research in Pediatrics.

There are significant contributions to the pediatric research from eminent scientists around the world and few among them are as follows.

Srinivasa and Reshmavathi [1] noted the Incidence and etiology of acute kidney injury in children admitted to PICU using pRIFLE criteria. David in his studies focused on the normal range of heart rate at birth in a healthy term neonate [2]. Robert, in his studies focused on a new tool; the child network: A new tool for parents to help pediatricians track mood and behavioral disorders [3].

Morningstar made a commentary on the neurotransmitter status and idiopathic scoliosis [4]. Murali [5] focused on the appropriate length of the central venous catheter insertion via right internal jugular vein in children using external anatomical. Gupta et al. [6] submitted a case report on severe malaria due to Plasmodium vivax.

Ahumareze et al. [7] made a study on prevalence of anaemia and the relationship between haemoglobin concentration and CD4 count in HIV Positive children on Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) in Lagos, Nigeria. Kassa et al. [8] focused on the factors associated with Physical violence during pregnancy in Yirgalem town, South Ethiopia. Kumar et al. [9] expressed his experience on a tertiary care center in an article on screening for hearing loss among high risk neonates.

The hospital environment was focused in an article of Hamdan et al. [10] The impact of creating a child-friendly hospital environment in pediatric cancer patients and their families in comprehensive cancer center at King Fahad Medical City. da Silva Filho et al. [11] dignifying hidden lives: the institutionalization of any impact child development. Ghaffar et al. [12] studied the noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis in Egyptian children with chronic liver diseases. Oppenheimer et al. [13] made most significant contribution on fetal pain treatment. Ahmed and Sayed [14] the development of reference values for waist circumference, waist hip and waist height ratios in Egyptian adolescents. Ahmed et al. [15] focused on endothelial progenitor cells cut-off and relations to cardiovascular risk factors in obese children and adolescents.
