Postural control patterns in gravid women-A systematic review.
PLoS One
December 2024
Section of Rehabilitation in Orthopaedics, Clinical Rehabilitation Institute, Faculty of Motor Rehabilitation, University of Physical Education, Krakow, Poland.
Background: Postural stability is essential for functional independence in the pregnant population. The contradictions between existing studies and the lack of consistent characteristics in the strategies used by pregnant women for postural control demonstrate the need for further investigation.
Objectives: The aim was to review the available literature on postural strategies throughout pregnancy in both static and dynamic conditions and to provide an assessment of the quality of these studies in terms of methodological issues to identify the reasons for the inconsistencies in findings between research centers.
Determining an optimal case definition using mid-upper arm circumference with or without weight for age to identify childhood wasting in the Philippines.
PLoS One
December 2024
Research Department, Philippine Institute for Development Studies, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines.
In resource-limited areas, where accurate weight-for-height Z-scores are hard to obtain, Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) is a simple tool to identify wasted children. MUAC alone, however, may miss identification of many wasted children, leading to untimely intervention and potentially death. Our study aimed to identify the best-performing case definition to detect wasting by Weight-for-Height z-scores (WHZ) in Filipino children aged 6-59 months.

Efficacy and safety of rituximab in primary IgA nephropathy: a retrospective study.
Clin Exp Nephrol
December 2024
Department of Nephrology, Ningbo Yinzhou Second Hospital, No. 998, North Qianhe Road, Yinzhou District, Ningbo City, 315000, Zhejiang Province, China.

Pediatric Meningeal Diseases: What Radiologists Need to Know.
Tomography
December 2024
Department of Radiology, Nemours Children's Health, 1600 Rockland Rd., Wilmington, DE 19803, USA.
Evaluating altered mental status and suspected meningeal disorders in children often begins with imaging, typically before a lumbar puncture. The challenge is that meningeal enhancement is a common finding across a range of pathologies, making diagnosis complex. This review proposes a categorization of meningeal diseases based on their predominant imaging characteristics.
