Abstract

Anecdotal and lay press reports suggest that the incidence of pediatric urolithiasis is increasing but reliable data are lacking. The objective of this study was to examine trends in the epidemiology of urolithiasis at pediatric hospitals nationwide. The Pediatric Health Information System database is a national database covering 42 freestanding United States pediatric hospitals that captures inpatient admissions, and emergency department and outpatient surgery visits. We searched the Pediatric Health Information System database to identify children (18 years old or younger) treated for urolithiasis between 1999 and 2008. Patients with urolithiasis were measured as a proportion of the total number of patients seen per hospital annually. Trends were verified by comparing results to 2 other common pediatric diagnoses-appendicitis and viral bronchiolitis. We identified 7,921 children diagnosed with urolithiasis during the study period. The total number of children with urolithiasis seen in Pediatric Health Information System hospitals increased from 125 in 1999 to 1,389 in 2008. Mean number of stone cases per hospital per year increased from 13.9 to 32.6. Compared to total hospital patients, the proportion of patients with pediatr...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
