Background/objectives: In paediatric liver transplantation, donor-recipient compatibility depends on graft size. We explored whether the graft weight can be predicted using the donor's biometric parameters.
Methods: We used seven easily available biometric variables in 142 anonymised paediatric and adult donors, with data collected between 2016 and 2022.
Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the prevalence of artifacts on whole-body (WB) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination in pediatric patients and identify their causes.
Materials And Methods: A total of 107 pediatric patients who underwent a total of 107 WB-MRI examinations, including short-tau inversion recovery (STIR) and T1-weighted sequences, were included. There were 62 girls and 45 boys with a mean age of 11 ± 3 (SD) years (age range: 2-16 years).
Background: Beyond sex, age, and various comorbidities, geographical origin and socioeconomic deprivation are associated with Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) morbidity and mortality in the general population. We aimed to assess factors associated with severe forms of COVID-19 after a hospital emergency department visit, focusing on socioeconomic factors.
Methods: Patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 attending the emergency department of Béclère Hospital (France) in March-April 2020 were included.
Introduction: Bronchiolitis is the leading cause of hospitalization for infants but its economic burden is not well documented. Our objective was to describe the clinical evolution and to assess the 1-month cost of a first episode of acute bronchiolitis presenting to the emergency department (ED).
Methods: Our study was an epidemiologic analysis and a cost study of the cohort drawn from the clinical trial GUERANDE, conducted in 24 French pediatric EDs.
Article Synopsis
- This study explored how various socioclinical, inflammatory, and metabolic factors are linked to weight gain in HIV patients on combination antiretroviral therapy (cART).
- Researchers analyzed data from individuals who were normal weight at the start of cART and maintained virological suppression for 36 months, looking at factors like BMI, inflammation markers, and socioeconomic status.
- They found that 20% of participants became overweight or obese after 36 months, with factors such as higher initial BMI, being from sub-Saharan Africa, and certain inflammatory markers influencing this weight gain.
