Long-Term Growth Hormone Associated With High Risk of Acute Kidney Damage.

Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in children leads to stunted growth and short stature, requiring daily subcutaneous recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) administration. While rhGH therapy has a well-established efficacy and safety profile, it has been associated with renal complications, including glomerular hyperfiltration, renal hypertrophy, and glomerulosclerosis. However, the association between rhGH and acute kidney injury (AKI) remains unexplored.

Side Effects Associated With Homologous and Heterologous COVID-19 Vaccines: A Cross-Sectional Study in Saudi Arabia.

Background: Numerous studies on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination safety have been conducted in Saudi Arabia. Even though there is less evidence comparing the side effects of different vaccines and a few of them studied the side effects of mixing different platforms of vaccines.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the type and severity of adverse effects following COVID-19 vaccination based on the type and platform of received vaccine and to determine factors that contribute to the occurrence of these side effects.
