Systematic review on the safety of the use of quinolones in the pediatric population
Get PDFBackground: the safety of fluoroquinolones in the pediatric population has been a matter of concern due to the potential for adverse effects such as growth cartilage toxicity. Despite their broad antimicrobial spectrum and efficacy, the prescription of fluoroquinolones in children and adolescents is limited by the risk of arthralgias and other side effects. This study aims to evaluate the safety of fluoroquinolones in pediatric patients and the impact of regulatory actions on their prescription.
Method: a systematic review of studies investigating the safety of fluoroquinolones in the pediatric population was conducted. Studies that met specific inclusion criteria were selected, and relevant information on the decrease in fluoroquinolone prescriptions and their adverse effects was extracted.
Results: in the study on the safety and tolerability of quinolones in the pediatric population, 22 % (199/904) of patients experienced adverse events following treatment with quinolones. Gastrointestinal disorders, such as nausea and diarrhea, were the most frequent, affecting 12 % (108/904) of patients. This was followed by skin rashes and effects on the central nervous system, at 5 % (45/904) and 3 % (27/904) respectively. Moxifloxacin demonstrated good tolerability across all age cohorts, without significant joint or neuropathic adverse findings. Specific safety studies of moxifloxacin confirmed its safety, showing no significant differences in safety variables compared to other antibiotics.
Conclusion: it is crucial to continue monitoring the safety of fluoroquinolones in the pediatric population to ensure an adequate balance between the benefits and risks of their use

Investigation The Effect of Tellurium Addition on Corrosion Resistance of Ti6Al4V alloy
Get PDFThe purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of Tellurium alloying element (0,5, 1, 1,5, 2, 2,5, 3, 3,5, 4, 4,5 and 5 wt%) on corrosion resistance of Ti6Al4V alloy in Hank and saliva solutions. All alloys have been prepared by powder metallurgy technique, the compact pressure was determined as 800MP and the green samples sintered at 350 C0 for 1h then at 550 C0 for 1h and at 1000 C0 for 2 h in inert gas (of Argon), then the samples cooled in the furnace to room temperature. The microstructure was observed using a light optical microscope and has shown that all specimens of alloys contain two regions: the α-Ti phase and the β-Ti phase. Generally, compared with the base alloy, the addition of the Te element leads to an increase in the α-phase due to the effect of Te as the α stabilizer element. Electrochemical tests (potentiodynamic polarization and OCP – Time measurement) in Hank\u27s and saliva solutions were used to evaluate corrosion resistance of Ti6Al4V alloy. When tellurium was added, the OCP shifted to the positive direction. This makes the alloy more noble and increases its resistance to corrosion by decreasing corrosion current density. The percentage of improvement ranges from 2,50 % to 61,92 % in saliva solution and from 16,27 % to 88,32 % in Hank\u27s solution. For both solutions, the best percentage of improvement is 5 % T

Effect of kettle bells and battle rope training on grip strength and body composition among university volleyball players
Get PDFThe current research is to examine the possible impacts of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) using battle ropes and kettlebells on body composition and grip strength. The aforementioned workout regimen\u27s influence will be assessed by focusing on these two chosen variables, which are considered essential elements of interest. Existing research suggests that HIIT may have a beneficial effect on both body composition and grip strength, based on current hypotheses. The fundamental concept is that HIIT may induce favorable alterations in body composition, such as increases in lean muscle mass and reductions in body fat. This is due to its structure of brief intervals of very vigorous exercise followed by short periods of rest. HIIT has the ability to improve grip strength, which is an important measure of upper body strength and endurance. The experimental design facilitates the examination of many physical attributes by delivering pre- and post-tests to participants in both groups. The factors under investigation include grip strength (measured using handgrip dynamometers), and body composition (measured using skinfold callipers). The rationale behind our study involves the assessment of triceps strength as well as the strength of the left and right hand grip
