Uncovering Art's Vanishing Hues with Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering: Drawing Inspiration from the Past for the Future.

The aesthetic and historical significance of art is well recognized; art can stoke emotions, invite close inquiry, and connect us to the past. However, works of art are also complex material objects that present unique challenges and opportunities for the scientific community. Identifying "fugitive" organic pigments in traditional oil paintings, for example, presents a particularly complex analytical challenge that is critical to address for their conservation and long-term preservation.

Changes in graft outcomes in recipients <10 kg over 25 years of pediatric kidney transplantation in the United States.

Background: Kidney transplant (KT) was initially associated with poor outcomes, especially in smaller recipients. However, pediatric transplantation has evolved considerably over time. We investigated the impact of weight at the time of transplant and whether outcomes changed over 25 years for <10 kg recipients.

Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System for Acute Liver Failure in a New Pediatric-Based Extracorporeal Liver Support Program.

Importance: Acute liver failure (ALF) carries significant morbidity and mortality, for both pediatric and adult patients. Albumin dialysis via the molecular adsorbent recirculating system (MARS) is a form of extracorporeal liver support (ELS) that can reduce hepatic encephalopathy (HE), a main driver of mortality in ALF. However, data on MARS and its benefit on mortality have been inconsistent.

Pet safety guidelines for pediatric transplant recipients.

Approximately 70% (90.5 million) of United States (US) households own at least one pet. Dogs are the most common, making up about 38% of all household pets, followed by cats, which make up 25%.
