The integral co-management role of the medical pediatric urologist: Improving the care of children with urological conditions.

Introduction: The complexities of modern medicine prompt a re-evaluation of traditional patient care models to enhance safety and quality. We implemented a one-year pilot Medical Pediatric Urology fellowship, jointly developed by Urology and Pediatric Hospital Medicine, where a pediatrician received postgraduate training in both specialties. This innovative program aimed to augment knowledge and expertise in non-surgical aspects of pediatric urology.

[Peer support, a vector for transforming psychiatric practices].

Peer support is based on the mirror effect between the peer carer and the person being supported, which is a powerful lever for recovery. Through their work, peer helpers also hold up a mirror to "non-peer" carers. The reflection they see is a litmus test that can lead to changes in care practices, but it can also generate defensive reactions.

CCL14 testing to guide clinical practice in patients with AKI: Results from an international expert panel.

Purpose: Urinary C-C motif chemokine ligand 14 (CCL14) is a strong predictor of persistent stage 3 acute kidney injury (AKI). Multiple clinical actions are recommended for AKI but how these are applied in individual patients and how the CCL14 test results may impact their application is unknown.

Methods: We assembled an international panel of 12 experts and conducted a modified Delphi process to evaluate patients at risk for persistent stage 3 AKI (lasting 72 hours or longer).

Measuring Mitotic Spindle and Microtubule Dynamics in Marine Embryos and Non-model Organisms.

During eukaryotic cell division a microtubule-based structure, the mitotic spindle, aligns and segregates chromosomes between daughter cells. Understanding how this cellular structure is assembled and coordinated in space and in time requires measuring microtubule dynamics and visualizing spindle assembly with high temporal and spatial resolution. Visualization is often achieved by the introduction and the detection of molecular probes and fluorescence microscopy.

Manipulation of Embryonic Cleavage Geometry Using Magnetic Tweezers.

The geometry of reductive divisions that mark the development of early embryos instructs cell fates, sizes, and positions, by mechanisms that remain unclear. In that context, new methods to mechanically manipulate these divisions are starting to emerge in different model systems. These are key to develop future innovative approaches and understand developmental mechanisms controlled by cleavage geometry.
