TL;DR: The first study concerning the frequency and type of CHD observed in Turkish children with DS implied that early screening for CHDs by echocardiography is crucial and correction of AVSDs in paediatric patients with DS should be performed in the first 6 months of life to avoid irreversible haemodynamic consequences of the defect.

TL;DR: There is no association between type 1 diabetes mellitus and IMT in children and adolescents with T1DM, and statistical analysis indicated a good correlation between age and carotid arterial wall thickness in both diabetic and control groups.

TL;DR: The most common mutation in children in Turkey with FMF is the M694V mutation, and most of the patients with proteinuria and elevated serum amyloid-A had homozygous M694v mutation.

TL;DR: Although circumstances such as compliance in social distancing policy, transmission patterns, attitude following contact may have influenced the results, immunosuppressive treatment does not seem to pose an additional risk in terms of COVID-19.

TL;DR: Closer study of patients with cardiomegaly and heart failure can reduce delays in diagnosis of LVNC, which can be diagnosed at any age from newborn to adolescent and has a variable clinical course.
