IgA nephropathy is a mesangioproliferative glomerular disease with significant morbidity and mortality. Most patients with IgA nephropathy develop kidney failure in their lifetime, reducing their life expectancy by a decade. Since its first description in 1968, it has been established that kidneys of IgA nephropathy patients are injured as "innocent bystanders" by nephritogenic IgA1-containing immune complexes.

Purpose: Pilocytic astrocytoma is the most common glial tumour in the paediatric population with a long-term life expectancy after surgery. Long-term radiological follow-up with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is necessary to detect recurrence of tumour or growth of residual tumour. Established MRI protocols typically dictate post-gadolinium sequences despite concerns around the side-effect and safety concerns of gadolinium-based contrast agents.

We conducted database and grey literature searches and collected indicators from technical agencies, partnerships, donors, and nongovernmental organisations providing child public health services in FCV settings.

Cognitive functions such as attention and memory significantly impact performance in daily life and in various professions, including driving vehicles and providing healthcare services. Driven by the importance of understanding attention, early studies have explored the attentional theories and discovered the attentional boost effect (ABE). In experiments studying the ABE, participants are required to engage in two concurrent tasks: (1) memorising a sequence of briefly displayed stimuli (e.

Asthma remains a significant public health challenge, requiring precise diagnostic and management strategies. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are essential in assessing disease severity, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring disease progression. The 2022 ERS/ATS technical standards introduced critical updates to enhance the accuracy and standardization of pulmonary function interpretation.
