Background: Catch-up growth after pediatric kidney transplantation (kTx) is usually insufficient to reach normal adult height. We aimed to analyze the effect of pre-transplant recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) and corticosteroid withdrawal on linear growth in the first year after kidney transplantation and identify factors associated with final height (FH).
Methods: Patients who underwent kTx between 1996 and 2018 at below 18 years old in five Belgian and Dutch centers were included.

Background: Bloody nipple discharge (BND) is a rare and distressing finding in infants, although its etiology is usually benign. Diagnostic management of BND and breast lesions in children calls for an adapted approach.
Case: We present the case of an 11-month-old girl with unilateral BND and a painless breast mass.
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated how pediatric (PG) and adult gastroenterologists (AG) in Europe and the UAE diagnose and manage eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), focusing on their adherence to clinical guidelines.
- - Results showed that PG are more likely to take biopsies and perform endoscopic follow-ups compared to AG; they also prefer elimination diets over steroids as a second-line therapy after proton-pump inhibitors fail.
- - The findings highlight significant practice differences between PG and AG, as well as regional variations across countries, suggesting that educational initiatives could help improve alignment with current guidelines.
