Differential contributions of performance-based and parental reports of executive functioning on memory in pediatric focal and generalized epilepsies.

Children with epilepsy often experience deficits in both executive functioning (EF) and memory. However, how these two domains interact and relate to specific epilepsy types remains unclear. This study compared two groups of children: those with localization-related epilepsy (LRE) and those with genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE).

Pediatric case of atypical spindle cell/pleomorphic lipomatous tumor within the vastus lateralis muscle.

This report presents a rare case of an atypical spindle cell/pleomorphic lipomatous tumor in a 13-year-old male patient. The tumor, located within the vastus lateralis muscle, was successfully resected, and the patient is currently under follow-up.

Patient-Level and Center-Level Factors Associated with Required Predonation Weight Loss among Obese Living Kidney Donors.

Key Points: Among obese living kidney donors, year of donation, preoperative body mass index, hypertension, and center percent of living kidney donor transplants were associated with required predonation weight loss. There were no significant differences in the likelihood of predonation weight loss requirement by race, sex, or age or by markers of preoperative metabolic dysfunction.

Background: The proportion of overweight/mildly obese living kidney donors (OLKDs) has increased in the past few decades, with significant center variation in the body mass index (BMI) of LKDs.

Diabetes-free survival among living kidney donors and non-donors with obesity: A longitudinal cohort study.

Background: Approval of living kidney donors (LKD) with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) risk factors, such as obesity, has increased. While lifetime ESKD development data are lacking, the study of intermediate outcomes such as diabetes is critical for LKD safety. Donation-attributable diabetes risk among persons with obesity remains unknown.

Change in Body Mass Index and Attributable Risk of New-Onset Hypertension Among Obese Living Kidney Donors.

Objective: To examine whether body mass index (BMI) changes modify the association between kidney donation and incident hypertension.

Background: Obesity increases hypertension risk in both general and living kidney donor (LKD) populations. Donation-attributable risk in the context of obesity, and whether weight change modifies that risk, is unknown.
