Abstract

Background: Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that impacts 10% of the adult population worldwide, whereas obesity represents a significant global health issue. The relationship between eczema and obesity is intricate and differs among various populations. Mechanisms encompass eczema symptoms, avoidance of physical activity, gut microbiome influences, glucocorticoid medications, and factors related to obesity. Examining the relationship between eczema severity and related factors can guide targeted interventions and enhance comprehension of the shared pathways among these conditions. Methods: This systematic review adhered to PRISMA 2020 guidelines, focusing exclusively on full-text articles published in English between 2014 and 2024. Editorials and review articles without a DOI were excluded to ensure the utilization of high-quality sources. A literature review was conducted utilizing reputable databases including ScienceDirect, PubMed, and SagePub to identify relevant studies. Result: An initial search in databases yielded approximately 600 publications relevant to this topic. After a rigorous three-stage screening process, eight studies that met the inclusion criteria were selected for in-depth analysis. These studies underwent comprehensive critical evaluation, allowing in-depth exploration of the relationship between obesity and eczema. This systematic approach ensures that the analysis is based on high-quality evidence that is consistent with the research objectives. Conclusion: Studies demonstrate a clear correlation between moderate eczema and obesity. No significant association was discovered between severe eczema and high BMI. A higher BMI, comorbidities, and behavior may affect the association. Without a dose-response relationship, a bidirectional relationship is possible. To understand the complex association between eczema and obesity, future studies should investigate a non-linear relationship utilizing BMI as a continuous variable.

Abstract

Background: The literature on pediatric intussusception highlights the complexities of diagnosis and management, underscoring the need for timely intervention to optimize outcomes. The articles reviewed provide a multifaceted perspective on the condition, detailing diagnostic techniques, management protocols, and surgical outcomes. Literature Review: The initial article emphasizes the idiopathic nature of pediatric intussusception, linking it primarily to viral infections and the hyperplasia of Peyer's patches (Gupta et al., 2010). This foundational understanding is crucial as it sets the stage for the subsequent discussions on imaging and intervention strategies. The advocacy for ultrasonography as the primary diagnostic tool (Dadlani et al., 2020) reflects a shift towards non-invasive methods, aligning with contemporary pediatric practices that prioritize patient safety. The systematic review consolidates these insights, emphasizing the efficacy of non-surgical interventions and the necessity of surgical options when initial methods fail (Ali Attoun et al., 2023). It also discusses the role of adjunct therapies, such as dexamethasone, which reflects an evolving approach to treatment that integrates pharmacological support with traditional techniques. This distinction is critical for surgical planning, as it informs whether non-operative reduction or surgical intervention is warranted. The importance of timely diagnosis and intervention is further reinforced by the findings on idiopathic intussusception, where non-operative methods, such as pneumatic enemas, are shown to be effective (Alnamshan et al., 2023). Conclusion: In conclusion, the reviewed literature collectively underscores the critical importance of accurate diagnosis and timely intervention in managing pediatric intussusception. The evolution of management protocols, from non-invasive imaging to surgical interventions, illustrates a comprehensive approach that prioritizes patient outcomes. Continued research and the development of standardized management algorithms will be essential in further refining these protocols to enhance surgical outcomes for pediatric patients.

Abstract

Background: The management of pediatric appendicitis has witnessed significant advancements, particularly with the introduction of non-operative strategies alongside traditional surgical approaches. Literature Review: The study by (GUANA et al., 2016) highlights the challenges of managing appendicitis in younger children, particularly under five years old, where atypical presentations can lead to complications such as perforation. The comparative analysis of laparoscopic and open surgical techniques underscores the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, including reduced postoperative pain and shorter recovery times, which are crucial in pediatric care. In contrast, the exploration of non-operative management by (Hall and Eaton, 2018) reveals that non-operative strategies, particularly antibiotic therapy, can be effective for uncomplicated appendicitis, with the potential to avoid surgery altogether. This perspective is supported by (Stulberg et al., 2018), who conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis demonstrating that antibiotic management yields better quality-adjusted life years and is less costly than surgical intervention. The systematic review by (Maita et al., 2019) further solidifies the efficacy of non-operative treatment for nonperforated appendicitis, indicating a significant success rate while acknowledging the need for careful patient selection to mitigate the risk of complications. The findings from (Yadao et al., 2022) and (Jumah and Wester, 2022) reinforce the potential of antibiotics as a first-line treatment for uncomplicated appendicitis, showcasing promising success rates and shorter hospital stays for non-surgical patients.  Conclusion: In conclusion, the literature presents a compelling case for the evolving management strategies for pediatric appendicitis, advocating for a balanced approach that incorporates both surgical and non-operative options. As non-operative management gains traction, it is critical for clinicians to consider individual patient characteristics and the associated risks of recurrence and complications when determining the optimal treatment pathway.
