This study relates the postoperative evolution after ureterovesical reimplantation for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in 141 children who were ten years old or younger at the time of surgery. Renal growth and morphology were evaluated 2 and 5 years after surgery. We estimated renal growth by measuring the ratio of the bipolar parenchymal thickness to the total length of the kidney. We noticed that whatever the degree of reflux might have been, most of the kidneys partially or totally compensated for their growth failure. This growth resumption required many years to be completed. Surgical correction of VUR had favorable consequences on the radiologic aspect of pyelonephritic scars only on some of the kidneys: in these cases, the child's age appeared to be the only factor that had a statistical importance affecting the postoperative evolution of pyelonephritic scarring: the younger the children were at the time of surgery, the better the results obtained.

Background: Schistosoma haematobium is the causative pathogen for urogenital schistosomiasis. To achieve progress towards schistosomiasis elimination, there is a critical need for developing highly sensitive and specific tools to monitor transmission in near-elimination settings. Although antibody detection is a promising approach, it is usually unable to discriminate active infections from past ones.

Background: Vaccination is one of the most effective ways of protecting individuals against serious infectious diseases and their fatal consequences.
Objectives: The aim of this scoping review was to synthesize data on parental attitudes toward vaccination and identify factors influencing the motivators and barriers to children's vaccination based on Polish studies.
Methods: The scoping review process and reporting were based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScRs) checklist.
Aim And Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of silymarin in improving liver function and reducing liver stiffness in chronic liver disease (CLD) patients. Silymarin, a hepatoprotective agent, has shown potential benefits in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and liver fibrosis, but evidence in CLD with varied etiologies remains limited. This study addresses the gap by assessing its impact across diverse etiological subgroups.

Methods: Between April 2022 and December 2023, 234 children with simple CHD who underwent CPB via a right-side small incision approach were separated into a control group (n = 93) without the use of a CO field-flooding device and a treatment group (n = 141) in which this device was added to the traditional surgical manual exhaust. Demographic, perioperative, arterial blood gas (ABG), and laboratory test data were then compared between these groups of patients.
