Ultrasonogram-Guided Continuous Quadratus Lumborum Block as Pain Management in Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Case Series.

Adequate perioperative analgesia is essential to optimize recovery in pediatric transplant surgery. Regional anesthesia techniques, such as continuous quadratus lumborum block, have been identified as effective and safe options for managing perioperative pain in pediatric abdominal surgeries. However, data on its use in pediatric kidney transplants are limited.

Perioperative Fluid Management in Paediatric Liver Transplantation: A Systematic Review.

Perioperative fluid management remains a challenging aspect of paediatric liver transplantation (LT) because of the risk of postoperative complications and haemodynamic instability. Limited research has specifically investigated the impact of fluid management and transfusion on mortality and morbidity in pediatric LT patients. This systematic review summarizes the evidence regarding perioperative fluid management and its clinical outcomes in paediatric LT patients.

Stunting and Gut Microbiota: A Literature Review.

Stunting, a condition characterized by impaired growth and development in children, remains a major public health concern worldwide. Over the past decade, emerging evidence has shed light on the potential role of gut microbiota modulation in stunting. Gut microbiota dysbiosis has been linked to impaired nutrient absorption, chronic inflammation, altered short-chain fatty acid production, and perturbed hormonal and signaling pathways, all of which may hinder optimal growth in children.
