  • - The study investigates the effectiveness of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid for treating acute uncomplicated appendicitis (AUA) in children, given that non-operative treatment (NOT) has variable success rates.
  • - Conducted in a single medical center in Toulouse, France, it involved children aged 5-15 with a first episode of appendicitis and no serious complications, administering antibiotics both intravenously and orally.
  • - Initial success was 100%, with an 85.6% success rate maintained after two years, suggesting this antibiotic therapy could be a viable alternative to surgery, pending results from ongoing research.

We studied the impact of RAGE invalidation and a CML-enriched diet on renal aging.
