Background: Dialysate leakage, a major complication in peritoneal dialysis (PD), causes difficulty in continuing PD. However, literature evaluating risk factors for leakage in detail and the appropriate break-in period to avoid leakage in pediatric patients is scarce.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on children aged < 20 years who underwent Tenckhoff catheter placement between April 1, 2002, and December 31, 2021, at our institution.
Inducible resistance to the macrolide, lincosamide, and streptogramin B (iMLSB) antibiotic family is a latent mechanism for antimicrobial resistance in Staphylococcus aureus. We here investigated the frequency and genotypic profiles of iMLSB resistance in clindamycin (CLDM)-susceptible S. aureus isolated in Okayama University Hospital from June 2020 to June 2021.

Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is caused by the expansion of the first 10 alanine stretches. The only exception is the missense mutation of glycine at the 12th residue into alanine, which elongates the stretch to 13 alanines by connecting the first and second stretch with the addition of one alanine in between, indicating that the expansion or elongation of the alanine stretch results in OPMD.

We aimed to assess the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of major CAs in the State of Qatar. A population-based retrospective data analysis of registry data retrieved from the Perinatal Neonatal Outcomes Research Study in the Arabian Gulf (PEARL-Peristat Study) between April 2017 and March 2018.

- - The study focused on infection rates and risk factors for infection in children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) over a period from 2010 to 2020, analyzing clinical data from 187 patients.
- - A total of 84 infections were recorded among 55 patients, with pneumonia being the most frequent, and the study found that rituximab treatment was significantly linked to higher infection rates.
- - Infections were notably more common during the state of B-cell depletion due to immunosuppressants (318 per 1000 person-years) compared to periods with normal B-cell counts, highlighting a shift in infection patterns related to medication use.
