Article Synopsis
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children are primarily caused by enterobacteria, but Streptococcus pneumoniae is a rare cause that can indicate underlying issues.
- A case study focused on a 2-year-old girl with recurrent UTIs, renal malformations, and a detected UTI caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae demonstrated the importance of thorough imaging studies for such cases.
- The findings highlight that UTIs from this atypical bacterium often correlate with serious renal-urological conditions, emphasizing the necessity for additional urinary tract evaluations in affected patients.
Background: Chronic kidney disease is a significant cause of adverse obstetric outcomes. However, there are few studies assessing the risk of severe maternal morbidity and mortality among patients with chronic kidney disease and no studies assessing the association between individual indicators of severe maternal morbidity and chronic kidney disease.
Objective: To evaluate the risk of severe maternal morbidity and mortality among pregnant patients with chronic kidney disease.
Dairy cow longevity is an important economic trait for producers. In modern dairy farming, longevity of dairy cows is the result of culling decisions, which are determined by several risk factors, including diseases, and reproductive and productive performance. Previous studies have documented that seasonal changes affect health, behavior, and performance of dairy cows throughout their life cycle.

- * Results showed that pregnant patients with CVD faced significantly higher risks: 11.6% experienced SMM and the maternal death rate was 538 per 100,000, compared to 0.7% and 5 per 100,000 in those without CVD.
- * Notably, chronic heart failure patients had the highest SMM risk, and Black patients with CVD had a disproportionately higher SMM risk, highlighting existing racial disparities in maternal health outcomes.
