Article Synopsis
- The study investigated WDR72-associated distal renal tubular acidosis (WDR72-dRTA) in children under 18 from multiple centers in India, focusing on their clinical characteristics and genetic profiles.
- A total of 22 patients were analyzed, revealing common symptoms like polyuria, poor growth, rickets, and a high prevalence of amelogenesis imperfecta, alongside specific genetic mutations, with most having biallelic nonsense variants.
- Although most patients showed improvement in growth and maintained good kidney function during follow-up, some progressed to chronic kidney disease, indicating the need for careful long-term monitoring.
The reliable prediction of streamflow is crucial for various water resources, environmental, and ecosystem applications. The current study employs a complex networks-based approach for the prediction of streamflow. The approach consists of three major steps: (1) the formation of a network using streamflow time series; (2) the calculation of the clustering coefficient (CC) as a network measure; and (3) the use of a clustering coefficient-based nearest neighbor search procedure for streamflow prediction.

Since the birth of Durga, India's first baby born using ART in 1981, the lucrative fertility industry has grown exponentially in our country. The Government of India passed the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulatory) Act in 2021 to provide regulatory support to these services.

Methods: Children aged 1-18 years with biopsy-proven primary FSGS followed from January 2010-June 2023 in a tertiary-care center were enrolled and their clinical profile, histological characteristics, kidney outcomes, and predictors of adverse outcomes were determined.
Results: Over 13 years, 73 (54.
