Background: Post-transplantation diabetes mellitus and carbohydrate intolerance (PTDM/iCHO) are complications following solid organ transplantation, which significantly increases the risk of graft loss and mortality. However, data concerning long-term outcomes in paediatric kidney transplant recipients with PTDM/iCHO are scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of graft loss in paediatric kidney transplant recipients with PTDM or iCHO compared with non-PTDM/iCHO.

- The study aimed to evaluate the long-term effects of COVID-19 on neurological symptoms, cognitive function, and quality of life in Colombian patients experiencing neurological post-acute sequelae (Neuro-PASC).
- Researchers analyzed data from 100 patients (50 post-hospitalization and 50 non-hospitalized) who had persistent symptoms for over 6 weeks, highlighting common symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and anxiety.
- Results indicated that both groups had impaired quality of life and cognitive function, with recommendations for early detection and support for Neuro-PASC patients to address these ongoing challenges.
Background: Childhood tuberculosis continues to be a major public health problem. Although the visibility of the epidemic in this population group has increased, further research is needed.
Objective: To design, implement and evaluate an integrated care strategy for children under five years old who are household contacts of bacteriologically confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Medellín and the Metropolitan Area.
Introduction: HIV infection is still a public health problem worldwide and co-infections with other infectious agents including intestinal parasites are of particular concern, mainly in developing countries like Colombia.
Objective: To conduct a cross-sectional study in patients attending an HIV care program in Antioquia given that there have been few intestinal parasites prevalence studies among the HIV population in the country.
Material And Methods: We evaluated stool samples from 192 patients by direct wet mount and concentration, modified Ziehl Neelsen staining, and agar plate culture.
