Background: Viral respiratory infections may precipitate type 1 diabetes (T1D). A possible association between the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for COVID-19, and the incidence of T1D is being determined. This study was carried out using Portuguese registries, aiming at examining temporal trends between COVID-19 and T1D.

- Growth failure is a significant issue in pediatric chronic kidney disease, with many patients not reaching expected height even after a kidney transplant, prompting a study to evaluate growth patterns and influencing factors post-transplant.
- A retrospective study of 149 patients over 25 years revealed that while patients showed gradual "catch-up" growth over 5 years, their height remained below target levels at the transition to adult care.
- Notably, factors like glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after transplant were linked to better growth outcomes, but overall results indicate room for improvement in achieving optimal height for these patients.
