Birth weight and ponderal index percentiles for twins based on sex and chorionicity in a center of Guangdong Province, China.

Department of Medical Genetics Centre, Guangdong Women and Children Hospital, Guangzhou, China.
Background: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) which is judged based on birth weight and gestational age, is associated with increased neonatal mobility and mortality and also has a further impact on physical and mental health during later in life. Using the birth weight percentile for singletons to assess twins might not accurately reflect the growth status of the twins; this could potentially lead to an incorrect evaluation of growth-restricted children. For a more precise assessment of twin newborns, it is beneficial to utilize twin-specific birth weight percentile curves and ponderal index (PI) curves that consider factors such as birth order and sex.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the impact of socioeconomic status (SES) on the progression and outcomes of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) in patients.
- The research involved classifying 432 patients undergoing surgery for UTUC into "advantaged" and "disadvantaged" groups based on their area deprivation index (ADI), with comparisons made on treatment and survival outcomes.
- Findings indicated no significant differences in tumor characteristics, recurrence-free survival (RFS), or overall survival (OS) between SES groups, suggesting improved healthcare access and management strategies may benefit disadvantaged patients.
Increasing Representation/Inclusivity Of Older Adults And Investigators From Minoritized Groups In Aging Research.

School of Nursing, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) plays a pivotal role in advancing scientific research, developing training and the science workforce, and promoting public health initiatives. However, the benefits of the NIA's work have not been equally distributed among all older adult population groups, highlighting persistent disparities in chronic illness burden and access to healthcare and research. As the NIA commemorates its 50th anniversary, this milestone presents an opportunity to reflect on its consequential initiatives and accomplishments while also strategizing for the robust inclusion of underrepresented and minoritized populations and the future health of our Nation's older adult population.

This article was written to highlight not only the issues that have been the focus of our professional attention but also the accomplishments that gerontological nurses have made during the past half century. Edna Stilwell, the inaugural editor, laid out nine objectives for the journal in the first issue, which was published in 1975.

Article Synopsis
- - The research investigates the relationship between estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR), measured with the Schwartz equation, and renal scintigraphy in children with congenital kidney and urinary tract abnormalities (CAKUT), aiming to improve understanding of kidney function in this population.
- - A study of 94 pediatric CAKUT patients revealed significant differences in eGFR between the right and left kidneys, particularly in relation to body surface area, indicating a potential bias in standard measurements.
- - The findings suggest that current bedside eGFR methods may not be fully reliable for children with CAKUT, highlighting the need for more accurate diagnostic tools tailored for pediatric patients.
