Introduction: Urinary tract infections are very common in childhood (especially under the age of 5 years) and because of the large number of complications resulting from it (renal failure – hypertension- kidney scarring) had to be diagnosed and early treatment, although that urine culture is the standard Golden diagnosis, but its results are late to appear, Many studies have indicated an accompanying increase in platelet counts in urinary tract infections, so that platelet counts may be a vital indicator directed to it without asylum to the costly analyzes in its diagnosis. Objective: the objective of the following study is to assess the sensitivity and specificity of the plate count (PLT) in UTI. Methods: The study included 65 Patients (14 males, 51females) They were between (3-6) year with upper urine tract infections were diagnosed through symptoms, urological test, Serum tests, and radiology, who were admitted to the pediatric department at Tishreen University Hospital in Lattakia City. PLT was obtained through a complete CBC blood count (sensitivity and sensitization), and comparison of the ratio Percentage of Thrombocytosis between urine culture with Gram-positive germs and Gram-negative germs. Results: The study showed a good sensitivity=80.39% [75–84] to platelet counts compared to urine culture. it also showed statistically significant paper p-value=0.003 between platelet count and type of pathogen (positive or negative Gram) and the increase was more favorable to positive urine culture. Also showed that the average value of platelets is higher in culture a positive gram 521.9±90.9 x103 platelet/mcl than in gram negative 432.3±73.5 x103 platelet/mcl. Conclusion: higher Platelet numbers are a good analysis or sensitivity for the diagnosis of upper urinary tract infection in children with reliable urinary symptoms to start treatment. So that we get the results of culture urine .and the higher platelet count must be taken gram positive bacteria into account.

Research summary
تتناول هذه الدراسة القيمة التشخيصية لفرط الصفيحات عند الأطفال المصابين بخمج بولي علوي. تم إجراء الدراسة على 65 طفلاً (14 ذكراً و51 أنثى) تتراوح أعمارهم بين 3-6 سنوات، والذين تم تشخيصهم بخمج بولي علوي من خلال الأعراض، الفحوصات البولية، الدموية، والشعاعية في مشفى تشرين الجامعي في اللاذقية. هدفت الدراسة إلى تقييم حساسية ونوعية تعداد الصفيحات (PLT) كوسيلة تشخيصية للخمج البولي العلوي. أظهرت النتائج أن حساسية تعداد الصفيحات كانت 80.39%، مع وجود فرق إحصائي هام بين متوسط تعداد الصفيحات ونوع العامل الممرض (إيجابي أو سلبي الغرام)، حيث كان الارتفاع أكثر لصالح الجراثيم إيجابية الغرام. خلصت الدراسة إلى أن تعداد الصفيحات يمكن أن يكون مؤشراً حيوياً جيداً لتشخيص الخمج البولي العلوي عند الأطفال، مما يمكن من بدء العلاج قبل ظهور نتائج زرع البول.
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تعتبر هذه الدراسة مهمة لأنها تسلط الضوء على وسيلة تشخيصية سريعة وغير مكلفة لتشخيص الخمج البولي العلوي عند الأطفال، وهو أمر حيوي نظراً للمضاعفات الخطيرة التي يمكن أن تنجم عن هذا المرض. ومع ذلك، هناك بعض النقاط التي يمكن تحسينها. أولاً، حجم العينة صغير نسبياً (65 طفلاً فقط)، مما قد يؤثر على تعميم النتائج. ثانياً، الدراسة لم تشمل فئات عمرية أخرى أو حالات مرضية مختلفة، مما يحد من نطاق تطبيق النتائج. ثالثاً، لم يتم التطرق إلى الآليات البيولوجية التي تفسر زيادة تعداد الصفيحات بشكل كافٍ، مما يترك بعض الأسئلة دون إجابة. وأخيراً، كان من الممكن أن تكون الدراسة أكثر شمولية إذا تم تضمين مشعرات أخرى للصفيحات مثل حجم الصفيحات وتكنسها.

Background and objectives: The advent of high-resolution MRI with a dedicated epilepsy protocol improves the ability to identify possible structural abnormalities that underlie seizure disorders. The aims of this study were to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of standard MRI, identify whether there is an increase in the diagnostic yield with the addition of dedicated seizure protocol, and compare the diagnostic yields of MRI and electroencephalogram (EEG) individually and in combination. Subjects and Methods: This was a cross-sectional analytic study, included 100 cases who presented with seizure over 18 months. Patients underwent complete neurological examination, EEG, and MRI with a standard and dedicated epilepsy protocol. Results: We found epileptogenic lesions in MRI in 55.5. Mesial temporal lobe sclerosis was the most common epileptogenic lesion (45.5%). The diagnostic efficacy of MRI had increased with dedicated epilepsy protocol compared to standard protocol. Abnormal MRI and EEG were compatible in 21%. Conclusion and implications: Dedicated epilepsy protocol increased the diagnostic efficacy of brain MRI in detecting a structural epileptogenic lesion, with 100% of mesial temporal sclerosis, the most common lesion in our study, was detected only in dedicated epilepsy protocol and missed in standard protocol.
The objective of this research is to insist on the most important symptoms and signs of appendicitis and diagnosis in a timely manner to avoid complications and deaths. The aim of the study was to establish diagnostic criteria for acute appendiciti s in children in the light of the data obtained from the study of a large number of patients with appendicitis and to determine the surgical indication to reduce complications and negative abdominal opening and to include the studied criteria in a spec ial scale in our patients to evaluate children with acute appendicitis depending On this scale. The study included 104 children who visited the Pediatric emergency department at Al-Assad University and University Hospital and Tishreen university Hospital with a complaint of abdominal pain between 2014 and 2016. The number of male patients was 76 patients and 28 females, abdominal pain was present in all patients, The following criteria were studied (abdominal pain, abdominal tenderness, rebound tenderness, ultra sound, leukocytosis, shift to left, fever,crp). These criteria were studied to diagnose acute appendicitis and to put them in a special scale for use in diagnosis or denial acute appendicitis. In comparison with international standards, we observed that the scale studied in our study is more objective and eliminates the subjective factor in the diagnosis of appendicitis.
Back pound: Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) and lower urinary tract anomalies (LUTA) are often considered high risk for renal transplantation. Methods and subjects: To evaluate the degree of risk, we have reviewed our experience of 17 p atients with (ESRD) and (LUTA). The study was carried out in Almoussat university hospital, between 5/ 2003 and 5/2009. After a detailed urological assessment, the patients had been undergone either non-continent cutaneous diversion (Bricker) (Two patients) or continent cutaneous diversion with bladder augmentation (14 patients), before renal transplantation. Results: The patient and graft survival rates were 84.62% and 100%, respectively. The presence of an ileal conduit did not adversely affect graft survival. And the commonest complication was persistent urinary tract infection, which occurred in all patients (100%), but didn’t cause any graft loss. However two patients died because of systemic infections and their graft function was good. Conclusion: Renal transplantation is a satisfactory option for patients with ESRD due to LUTA, but it is important to carry out detailed urological assessment prior to the transplant procedure.
This study aims to analyze the serum iron levels in children with recurrent respiratory and urinary infection . It includes 176 children who consulted the children department in Al-Assad University hospital in Lattakia and its external clinics durin g the period between 1/1/2012 and 1/1/2014 whose ages were between 1-9 years old . The recurrent respiratory infections were in 75 patients and the urinary recurrent infections in 21 patients. 80 healthy children didn't show any recurrent infection or chronic diseases. This study showed that the mean serum iron level in children with recurrent respiratory infection and those who had recurrent urinary infection compared to serum levels in healthy children was less . It is also found that recurrent respiratory and urinary infection increases with the reduction of hemoglobin.
Bacterial pathogens associated with urinary tract infection were studied. The study examined 120 urine samples taken from the middle of the urinary flow of patients with symptoms of urinary tract infection.
