Article Synopsis
- Dialyzed patients' knowledge and attitudes toward kidney transplantation (KTx) significantly influence their decision to join the transplant waiting list, potentially improving their health outcomes.
- A pilot study assessed the views of 30 hemodialysis patients in Poland, revealing that many lacked sufficient knowledge about KTx and its benefits.
- The findings highlight a critical need for better educational programs to inform patients about kidney transplantation as a viable treatment option.
Anaesthesia in SARS-CoV-2 infected children - single-centre experience. A case-control study.
Anaesthesiol Intensive Ther
September 2023
Introduction: Although manifestation of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children is gene-rally mild or asymptomatic, anaesthetic implications of the infection in children are still a matter of concern. Single reports suggest that patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection are at higher risk of anaesthetic complications.
Material And Methods: We performed a retrospective, case control study analysing the risk of general anaesthesia in SARS-CoV-2 infected children admitted to a tertiary paediatric university hospital for the purpose of urgent procedures requiring anaesthesia between April 1st and September 30 th , 2021.

Pediatr Endocrinol Diabetes Metab
November 2021
Introduction: Numerous studies have demonstrated the clinical benefits of using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems among patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of CGM on metabolic control in children with T1D and well-controlled disease prior to the study.
Material And Methods: This prospective analysis included 99 children (46 girls) at the median age of 11.
Introduction: Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) may lead to end stage renal disease and severely affect patient functioning and wellbeing.

Material And Methods: The multicentre cross-sectional study included 51 patients ≥ 8 years from 7 paediatric nephrology centres in Poland.
Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common cause of abrupted lung development after preterm birth. BPD may lead to increased rehospitalization, more severe and frequent respiratory infections, and life-long reduced lung function. The gene regulation in lungs with BPD is complex, with various genetic and epigenetic factors involved.
