We evaluated the long-term outcomes of recurrent glomerulonephritis (RGN) using clinical, histopathological, and demographic predictors....
A retrospective cohort study of kidney transplant recipients (KTR) in two renal centers between 2005 and 2020. Clinical and native kidney histological data were analyzed. The risk factors and outcomes...
336 recipients with primary glomerulonephritis were analyzed. RGN was diagnosed in 17%, 20%, 25%, and 13% of recipients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), membrano...

The burden of health inequities borne by Indigenous peoples can be overwhelming, especially when mothers and newborns' lives are at stake and health services seem slow to invest in responsiveness. In ...
Understanding costs associated with breastfeeding is critical to developing maximally effective policy to support breastfeeding by addressing financial barriers. Breastfeeding is not without cost; dir...
The long-term effects of nasoalveolar molding (NAM) on patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) are unknown. The authors report clinical outcomes of facially mature patients with complete B...
A single-institution retrospective study of nonsyndromic patients with complete BCLP who underwent NAM between 1991 and 2000 was performed. All study patients were followed to skeletal maturity, at wh...
Twenty-four patients with BCLP comprised the study cohort. All patients underwent GPP, 13 (54.2%) underwent alveolar bone graft, and nine (37.5%) required speech surgery. The median number of operatio...
Patients with BCLP who underwent NAM and GPP had significantly fewer total cleft operations and mixed midface growth outcomes at facial maturity compared with patients who did not undergo this treatme...

Children requiring rapid or standard sequence intubation are at risk of experiencing paralysis without adequate sedation when the duration of neuromuscular blockade exceeds the duration of sedation pr...
This retrospective cohort study included patients admitted to 1 of 6 affiliated pediatric emergency department or urgent care sites who were intubated with an induction agent and neuromuscular blocker...
A total of 283 patients met the inclusion criteria (mean age, 8 ± 7.6 years; 56% male). Two hundred thirty-eight patients (83%) received some form of PIS (105 [37%] received appropriately timed PIS an...
Delayed PIS is common and may result in periods of ongoing paralysis without adequate sedation. Emergency department providers and pharmacists must recognize the brevity of some induction agents and p...
Different temporizing neurosurgical procedures are available for the management of posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus in preterm newborns....
To evaluate the short efficacy of the external ventricular drains (EVDs) and the ventriculosubgaleal (VSG) shunt....
This is a Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology-conformed retrospective cohort study. The inclusion criteria were (1) gestational age <37 weeks, (2) birth weight <1500 g...
Overall, 12/24 newborns underwent EVD, and the remnant had a VSG shunt. The results showed a statistically significant difference ( P = .02) concerning cerebrospinal fluid infections between the EVD g...
The increased infectious risk and the higher reintervention rate in EVD were confirmed in this study. In addition, a significant delay in the time to -conversion from EVD to VP shunt was demonstrated....
At the time of childbirth, families face heightened levels of unmet need. These needs, if left unmet, can lead parents to engage in less positive parenting practices, which in turn, increase the risk ...
To determine sustained (2-year) impact of random assignment to FC on parenting behavior and parent mental health and identify heterogeneity of effects....
A representative subsample of 496 families that had been randomized to FC (255 treatment; 241 control) of infants born between July 1, 2009, and December 31, 2010, in Durham County, North Carolina....
Demographic characteristics were collected through hospital discharge data. Treatment-blinded interviewers collected maternal reports of parenting behavior and mental health at infant age two years. M...
Mothers assigned to FC engaged in more self-reported positive parenting relative to control mothers (B = 0.21; p < 0.05). Hispanic mothers assigned to FC reported greater sense of parenting competence...
Assignment to FC was associated with improvements in population-level self-reported scores of positive parenting 2 years post-intervention....
