Background: Children undergoing a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are at a higher risk for malnutrition, which could be reduced by enteral nutrition (EN) support.
Objectives: This study evaluated the safety and feasibility of implementing an EN pathway for children undergoing HSCT.
Methods: An evidence-based, standardized EN pathway was implemented for children undergoing HSCT. Parenteral nutrition and EN rates were compared among patients pre- and postimplementation, and t tests and chi-square tests were performed.
Findings: A larger proportion of patients received EN and had an increased number of EN days (8.3 versus 5.3 days) postimplementation, which was clinically significant but not statistically significant. Postimplementation, 15 patients required EN and parenteral nutrition. The EN pathway was safe, but had limited feasibility because of the difficulty of placing and maintaining the nasojejunal tube.

To analyze the clinical characteristics, treatments, and prognosis of patients with ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumor (JGCT). Clinical and pathological data, and follow-up information of 34 patients diagnosed with JGCT from 2000 to 2021 were collected from the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) database. A retrospective analysis was conducted to summarize the patients' clinical and pathological characteristics, treatments, and prognosis.

Background: Earlier evidence indicated that metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) may adversely affect neonatal outcomes among patients conceiving soon after MBS, but recent studies demonstrated conflicting results, especially for new surgical techniques.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of MBS types and surgery to birth interval on maternal, birth, and nonbirth outcomes in women with severe obesity.
Setting: New York State's all-payer hospital discharge database (2008-2019).

mRNAs are packaged with proteins into messenger ribonucleoprotein complexes (mRNPs) in the nucleus. mRNP assembly and export are of fundamental importance for all eukaryotic gene expression. Before export to the cytoplasm, mRNPs undergo dynamic remodeling governed by the DEAD-box helicase DDX39B (yeast Sub2).

Background And Aim: Gut microbiota dysbiosis plays a critical role in malnutrition caused by food intolerance and intestinal inflammation in children, which needs to be addressed. We assessed the efficacy and safety of washed microbiota transplantation (WMT) for gastrointestinal disease-related malnourished children.
Methods: This was a prospective observational study involving gastrointestinal disease-related malnourished pediatric patients who underwent WMT.

Throughout childhood growth and development, both the nervous and the musculoskeletal systems undergo rapid change. The goal of this study was to examine the impact of growth-related changes in skeletal size and muscle strength on the neural control of finger force generation. By modifying an existing OpenSim hand model in accordance with pediatric anthropometric data, we created 10 distinct models representing males and females at each year of development from 6 to 10 years old.
