Abstract

CAKUT are the most common cause of end-stage renal failure in children (Pediatr Nephrol. 24, 2009, 1719). Many children with CAKUT have poor urinary drainage which can compromise post-transplant outcome. Identifying safe ways to manage anatomical abnormalities and provide effective urinary drainage is key to transplant success. Much debate exists regarding optimum urinary diversion techniques. The definitive formation of a continent urinary diversion is always preferable but may not always be possible. We explore the role of ureterostomy formation at transplantation in a complex pediatric group. We report six pediatric patients who had ureterostomy formation at the time of transplantation at the National Paediatric Transplant Centre in Dublin, Ireland. We compared renal function and burden of urinary tract infection to a group with alternative urinary diversion procedures and a group with normal bladders over a 5-year period. There was no demonstrable difference in estimated glomerular filtration rate between the groups at 5-year follow-up. The overall burden of UTI was low and similar in frequency between the three groups. Ureterostomy formation is a safe and effective option for temporary urinary diversion in children with co...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.
