Article Synopsis
  • Cancer can lead to serious kidney issues in children requiring kidney replacement therapy (KRT), with a study identifying 287 pediatric KRT patients who had a history of cancer.
  • The study showed that those whose cancer caused KRT had a longer wait for kidney transplantation compared to matched controls, with a median time of 2.4 years for cancer patients versus shorter times for controls.
  • While childhood cancer survivors experienced increased mortality rates while on KRT (16% for group 1 and 23% for group 2) compared to controls, their long-term survival rates after kidney transplantation were similar to non-cancer patients.

Background: Associations between anthropometric measures and patient outcomes in children are inconsistent and mainly based on data at kidney replacement therapy (KRT) initiation. We studied associations of height and body mass index (BMI) with access to kidney transplantation, graft failure, and death during childhood KRT.

Methods: We included patients < 20 years starting KRT in 33 European countries from 1995-2019 with height and weight data recorded to the ESPN/ERA Registry.

Coronaviruses of the genera Gammacoronavirus and Deltacoronavirus are globally widespread and circulate primarily in wild and domestic birds. Prior studies have established frequently occurring crossover events from avian to mammalian reservoirs. However, there is limited understanding of the diversity and geographical distribution of coronaviruses among birds.

Background And Aim: Clinical strains of microorganisms, including pathogenic yeast-like fungi (YLF), are resistant to currently used antifungal agents. Thus, it is relevant to study the combinations of existing antimicrobial drugs and a medicinal extract of plant origin (farnesol). In previous studies, farnesol showed a relatively strong anti-biofilm effect against .

Recent studies have shown that the gut microbiota plays an important role in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal diseases in various animal species. There are only limited data on the microbiome in cats with varying grades of dysbiosis. The purpose of the study was a detailed analysis of the quantitative and qualitative fecal microbiota spectrum in cats with intestinal dysbiosis of varying severity.
