- * A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, analyzing research from the past ten years to investigate vitamin D's role in cartilage and osteoarthritis progression.
- * Findings on the relationship between vitamin D and knee osteoarthritis are mixed and inconclusive, indicating the need for further research to inform treatment strategies and consider vitamin D supplementation.
Background: To describe kidney outcomes in a cohort of children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).
Methods: We assessed short-term (acute kidney injury defined using neonatal KDIGO criteria) and long-term kidney outcomes, including chronic kidney disease (defined as a GFR < 90 ml/min/1.73 m), albuminuria, and hypertension in a single-center retrospective cohort of children with BPD born between 2010 and 2020.
Over three-quarters of Earth's surface exhibits extreme environments where life thrives under harsh physicochemical conditions. While prokaryotes have often been investigated in these environments, only recent studies have revealed the remarkable adaptability of eukaryotes, in particular fungi. This study explored the mycobiota of two meromictic hypersaline lakes, Ursu and Fără Fund, in Transylvania (Romania).

- The study focused on ventilator-dependent infants and children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia-associated pulmonary hypertension (BPD-PH) to assess their health outcomes.
- Approximately 60% of the 154 subjects had pulmonary hypertension, with many requiring specific medications; those with PH tended to transition to home ventilation and discharge at older ages.
- Despite the challenges, most subjects improved over time, successfully weaning off oxygen and ventilators by age 5, with a low mortality rate after discharge.
