Article Synopsis
- * A study in Brazil analyzed data from adult patients who had serum creatinine tests from June 2018 to May 2021 and found that 42% of those tests did not include urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio assessments, which are important for evaluating kidney health.
- * The results showed that non-nephrologists were the main requesters of kidney function tests, indicating a need for better adherence to guidelines and promoting teamwork among healthcare professionals to enhance CKD management.
Background: The wide pharmacokinetic variability of voriconazole leads to uncertainty regarding adequate exposure.
Objectives: To create a pharmacokinetic model that could help to explain the variability.
Methods: Retrospective review of paediatric patients with cancer.

Background: The study aimed to describe the kinetics of various cytokines from day 1 to day 14 of the onset of fever in neutropenic children and to evaluate their performances as discriminators of sepsis in the first 24 hours of fever, the possible influence of filgrastim, and the functioning of the IL-23/IL-17 axis.
Methods: IL-1, TNF-, IL-10, IL-12/23p40, IL-21, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17, G-CSF, and GM-CSF were measured in plasma on days 1, 2, 3, 5, and 14 from the onset of fever in 35 patients.
Results: Thirteen patients (37.
Objective:: To evaluate the clinical course and respiratory parameters of mechanically ventilated children with cancer suffering from sepsis-related acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Methods:: This 2-year prospective, longitudinal, observational cohort study enrolled 29 children and adolescents. Clinical data, measurements of blood gases and ventilation parameters were collected at four different time points.
Objective: To report the results of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous resection of the nidus in 18 cases of osteoid osteoma.
Materials And Methods: The medical records of 18 cases of osteoid osteoma in children, adolescents and young adults, who underwent CT-guided removal of the nidus between November, 2004 and March, 2009 were reviewed retrospectively for demographic data, lesion site, clinical outcome and complications after procedure.
Results: Clinical follow-up was available for all cases at a median of 29 months (range 6-60 months).
Background: Childhood cancer is relatively rare and tends to present specific age distribution, as a prognostic factor for some of these diseases. Information on how young age affects prognosis, response to chemotherapy, and local control options in children versus AYA with osteosarcoma (OST) is minimal.
Methods: In order to identify the main differences in clinical pathologic features, surgical approaches and survival rates of primary high grade OST of the extremity between children (n = 156; <12 years old) and AYA (n = 397; 12-30 years old), the institutional database with 553 patients treated by BOTG studies over 15 years were reviewed.

Purpose: Little information is available regarding the tumor features, prognostic factors, and treatment results in children and adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with osteosarcoma diagnosed in developing countries. We reviewed the results of three observational cohorts of osteosarcoma patients treated in an emerging country.
Methods: A total of 604 patients below the age of 30 years with high-grade osteosarcoma were prospectively enrolled in the Brazilian Osteosarcoma Treatment Group (BOTG) studies III, IV, and V.
