Factors Affecting the Age of Application in Children with Enuresis Nocturnal: A Multicentric Study from the Eastern of Turkey

Objective: Enuresis nocturna, which is common in childhood, can cause significant psychosocial problems if left untreated. In this study, it was aimed to examine the factors affecting the age of admission to the outpatient clinic in children with enuresis nocturna.Materials and Methods: Patients from five different centers were included in the study. The patients' age, gender, family structure, place of residence, occupational status of the mother, education level and income of the parents were obtained from the hospital records and by contacting the families by phone.Results: The mean age of the 162 patients included in the study was 9.41±3.24 years, 94 of whom were male. It was found that as the education level and income level of their parents increased, the age of referring to the polyclinic decreased significantly. In addition, it was observed that patients living in urban areas applied to the hospital earlier than rural patients.Conclusion: Factors such as the education level of the parents, place of residence and income level are important in terms of the time of admission to the outpatient clinic of patients with enuresis nocturna.

Color design in application interfaces for children

AbstractThis study investigated the effect of age and application type on the color design of user interfaces for children's applications. We collected 223 popular children's applications from the Apple App Store, focusing on children of three age groups (3‐5, 6‐8, and 9‐11 years old). There were two types of applications: educational applications and game applications. To explore further and compare the differences between children and adults, we also collected color data on 58 adult applications (29 educational applications and 29 game applications). Due to the characteristics of the specific model, this article selects the HSB (Hue, Saturate, Bright) color model—which is composed of hue, saturation, and brightness, with a high degree of matching with the color vision of the human eye—to analyze the color of the application interfaces. According to the statistics, in terms of hue, different types of application interfaces use different frequencies of colors. Multicolor educational application interfaces use cool colors, such as blue; multicolor game application interfaces use warm colors, such as red and orange; and so on. In terms of saturation, the frequency of high saturation in children's user interfaces is higher than that in adult user interfaces. In terms of brightness, children's application interfaces often use brighter colors. We also compared the statistical results with traditional color cognitive conclusions and discussed the possible reasons.

Research on the Application of Children’s Reading Analysis Based on Artificial Intelligence——Take Small “raccoon Reading” and “Jiao Jiao Reading” as examples

Artificial intelligence technology is widely used in the field of education, and the development of children’s Chinese reading field is increasingly mature. Using the boundary awareness of AI algorithm for reference, the Chinese reading class should also awaken the boundary awareness of Chinese subject. In the AI algorithm, only the annotated data are valid data. The reading text can become effective learning materials through natural language processing only when it is “annotated” out of ability points. Through machine learning, AI constantly generates self-learning data sets based on trial-and-error feedback. The feedback mechanism, trial-and-error opportunity and Chinese teaching design are transformed into each other to build student portrait and specifically improve students’ independent Chinese learning ability. This article analyzes the application of artificial intelligence technology in the development of children’s Chinese reading services by taking the examples of [[CHECK_DOUBLEQUOT_ENT]] Small raccoon Reading” and “Jiao Jiao Reading.

Acceptability of a Mobile Application in Children's Oral Health Promotion-A Pilot Study.

The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the acceptability of an oral health-related mobile application developed for young children based on the feedback given by the children and their parents. Another aim was to evaluate the self-reported change in children’s oral health behaviors during a short test period. The application—a virtual pet integrated into a child’s daily routines—aimed to promote oral hygiene and dietary behaviors in children. A total of 36 4–12-year-old voluntary children were given a mobile phone with the installed application. After the 5-week testing period, the feasibility of the application and possible changes in the children’s oral health behaviors were asked using an electronic questionnaire. Most of the children considered the application clear (n = 34), amusing (n = 31), and useful (n = 29). The children’s tooth brushing manners improved both qualitatively and quantitatively: the time used for tooth brushing increased and the children learned how to brush different tooth surfaces. Mobile applications can be fun and useful in oral health promotion; while playing, children can learn good oral health-related behaviors. Mobile applications integrate oral health promotion into children’s daily environment and routines.

A Novel LC-MS/MS Assay for Vitamin B1, B2 and B6 Determination in Driedblood Spots and Its Application in Children

Abstract Objectives Several HPLC assays can be used to determine vitamin B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin) and B6 (PLP) in biological matrix. However, no existing LC-MS/MS methods have been developed for quantifying thiamin, riboflavin and PLP in dried blood spots (DBSs), which are often used as a sampling/storage vessel for finger blood from infants and children. This study firstly used vacuum package in DBS cards storage, and evaluated the validity, reliability and stability of an LC-MS/MS assay for measuring thiamin, riboflavin and PLP in DBS cards. Methods DBS samples were deproteinized by adding trichloroacetic acid containing thiamine-[13C4], riboflavin-[13C4,15N2] and pyridoxal-d3 as internal standards. Thiamin, riboflavin and PLP were separated on a C8 column with a 5-min run time. Results Thiamin, riboflavin and PLP were stable on the DBS card during at least 15 days of room-temperature storage under vacuum in the dark. Both the between-run and within-run variable coefficients (CV% values) were <8.56%. The accuracies (relative errors RE% values) were from −7.40% to 3.12%. Lower limits of quantifications (LLOQs) ranged from 0.2 to 0.5 ng/mL, and the recoveries were from 81.49% to 112.23% for all 3 analytes. Measurements of thiamin, riboflavin and PLP in the DBSs showed good agreement with the corresponding concentrations determined from liquid blood (R2 values >0.96). Conclusions This validated method can be applied to the nutritional assessment of vitamins B1, B2, and B6.
