Paediatric urodynamic studies: emerging technologies and new frontiers.

Over the past two decades, there have been significant developments in paediatric urodynamic studies focusing on less-invasive monitoring devices, as well as re-defining normative values. This article reviews current paediatric urodynamic study methods and their reliability, and discusses new emerging ambulatory urodynamics and novel telemetric urodynamic devices. Traditional urodynamic studies are performed in specialised suites in real-time with artificial bladder filling.

A Systematic Review for Guidelines: Sports and High-Grade Kidney Injuries in Children With Solitary Kidneys.

Aim: To determine the risk of Grades IV and V kidney injury due to common children's sports.

Methods: A systematic review of studies reporting traumatic kidney injuries (TKIs) associated with basketball, cycling, equestrian, motorsports, netball, rugby, Australian football or soccer. Studies with patients exclusively 18 years or older, non-TKIs or non-sport-related mechanisms were excluded.

Development and international validation of a novel multivariate prognostic tool: posterior urethral valve risk of chronic kidney disease (PURK) score.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects up to 40% of children diagnosed with posterior urethral valves (PUV). This study aimed to develop and validate a risk stratification tool based on clinical variables available at presentation to predict CKD progression in children with PUV.

Methods: This multicenter retrospective cohort study included data from 283 children diagnosed with PUV before 12 months of age, treated at seven pediatric centers across four countries.

Accuracy of screening tests for cervical precancer in women living with HIV in low-resource settings: a paired prospective study in Lusaka, Zambia.

Objective: This study aimed to provide evidence to improve cervical screening for women living with HIV (WLHIV). We assessed the accuracy of screening tests that can be used in low-resource settings and give results at the same visit.

Methods And Analysis: We conducted a paired, prospective study among consecutive eligible WLHIV, aged 18-65 years, receiving cervical cancer screening at one hospital in Lusaka, Zambia.

Synchronous bilateral adrenalectomy for ACTH-independent Cushing's syndrome in children: multidisciplinary management.

Objective: Adreno CorticoTropic Hormone (ACTH)-independent Cushing's syndrome (CS) in children is very rare but potentially fatal. In bilateral nodular hyperplasia, synchronous bilateral adrenalectomy (SBA) represents the definitive treatment to correct hypercortisolism. We aim to report the multidisciplinary management of this rare condition.
