[General recommendations for the initial management of primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis in children].

Bedwetting is a very common condition affecting about 15% of children 6 years of age, and is considered one of the main reasons for referrals to pediatricians. Bedwetting is a medical situation and should be managed by physicians. A child wetting his bed is distressing and this has a deep impact on the child's behavior and it is also very stressful for the parents.

The anuric preterm newborn infant with a normal renal ultrasound: a diagnostic and ethical challenge.

Diagnosis and treatment of an anuric premature infant with severe respiratory compromise and a normal renal ultrasound (US), is a difficult task that requires a multidisciplinary approach. A 29-week gestation premature male infant, born after 5 weeks of worsening oligohydramnios, was ventilated for respiratory distress and remained anuric. Intensive clinical investigations and pediatric nephrology consultation that predicted very poor prognosis were followed by progressive renal failure, electrolyte imbalance, respiratory failure, ventricular arrhythmia, and finally cardiac arrest and death on day 5.

Calcium supplementation provides an extended window of opportunity for bone mass accretion after menarche.

Background: High calcium intakes during adolescence may increase bone acquisition. The magnitude of the effect of dietary calcium supplementation and the timing of its administration to achieve significant effects on bone health are still incompletely defined.

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the effect of calcium supplementation on bone mass accretion in postmenarcheal adolescent girls with low calcium intakes.
