  • Elimination communication (EC) is a way to help children learn when to go to the bathroom without relying too much on diapers.
  • A study in China looked at 13,500 kids to find out if using disposable diapers too much (DDD) is connected to when parents start EC and other factors like age and education.
  • The results showed that starting EC before 12 months can really help reduce DDD and that older kids are less likely to have this issue than younger kids.

Purpose: To identify more accurate predictors of upper urinary tract dilatation (UUTD) in neurogenic bladder (NB) children, we studied the relationship among urodynamic parameters at different bladder filling stages, detrusor leak point pressure (DLPP) and UUTD.

Methods: A total of 158 children (3-16 years) with NB were included and then divided into 2 groups according to whether their NB diagnosis was complicated with UUTD: the UUTD group (39 patients) and those without UUTD group (control group, 119 patients). The bladder filling phase was divided into 3 equal parts: the early, middle, and end filling stages.

Purpose: Few studies have reported the roles of the complement system in concomitant idiopathic membranous nephropathy and IgA nephropathy (IMN-IgAN). Complement factor B (CFB) is a crucial factor that involved in the alternative complement pathway. We aimed to evaluate the association between disease activity (eGFR, anti-PLA2R antibody levels and 24 h urinary protein excretion), progression and serum CFB levels of IMN-IgAN patients.
