Kidneys from very small donors have the potential to significantly expand the donor pool. We describe the collective experience of transplantation using kidneys from donors aged ≤1 year in Australian and New Zealand. The ANZDATA registry was analysed on all deceased donor kidney transplants from donors aged ≤1 year. We compared recipient characteristics and outcomes between 1963-1999 and 2000-2018. From 1963 to 1999, 16 transplants were performed [9 (56%) adults, 7 (44%) children]. Death-censored graft survival was 50% and 43% at 1 and 5 years, respectively. Patient survival was 90% and 87% at 1 and 5 years, respectively. From 2000 to 2018, 26 transplants were performed [25 (96%) adults, 1 (4%) children]. Mean creatinine was 73 µmol/l ±49.1 at 5 years. Death-censored graft survival was 85% at 1 and 5 years. Patient survival was 100% at 1 and 5 years. Thrombosis was the cause of graft loss in 12% of recipients in the first era from 1963 to 1999, and 8% of recipients in the second era from 2000 to 2018. We advocate the judicious use of these small paediatric grafts from donors ≤1 year old. Optimal selection of donor and recipients may lead to greater acceptance and success of transplantation from very young donors.
Hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) maturation has not been extensively evaluated using neonatal MRI, even though both structures are visualized on MRI.

That signal intensity and volume of pituitary and thyroid (T) glands on MRI in neonates may be interrelated.

Retrospective.

In all, 102 participants.

-weighted pointwise encoding time reduction with radial acquisition (PETRA).

The volume of interest of the anterior pituitary (AP), posterior pituitary (PP), and T on MRI were defined on T
-PETRA by two radiologists, and volumes of AP (AP_vol) and thyroid (T_vol) were calculated. Gestational age (GA), chronological age (CA), GA+CA, birth weight (BW), and thyroid function were recorded. Mean and maximum signal intensities of AP, PP, and T were normalized using signals from the pons and spinal cord as follows signal ratio of anterior pituitary/pons (AP/pons), signal ratio of posterior pituitary/pons (PP/pons), and signal ratio of thyroid/cord (T/cord) T/cord, respectively.

Few studies have evaluated the efficacy and safety of combining a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. see more Clinicians may frequently encounter this drug therapy combination in practice and should be aware of clinical evidence and risks associated with its use.

A literature search was conducted in Embase (1947-April 20, 2020), Medline - Ovid (1946-April 21, 2020), Medline - PubMed (1946-April 21, 2020), Cochrane Library CENTRAL Register of Controlled Trials (1991-April 20, 2020) and Web of Science (1900-April 17, 2020). Databases were searched using keywords and subject headings to identify studies assessing efficacy and safety of combination incretin therapy. The search identified 1255 studies. Of these, 383 were excluded for duplicate citations. Articles were then excluded based on title and abstract screen.

Six studies were included. A small reduction in haemoglobin A1c and weight loss was found by combining incretin therapy. Adverse effects such as hypoglycaemia, gastrointestinal upset and pancreatitis were infrequent.

On current evidence, the small benefit in glycaemic control that may be realized by using combination incretin therapy is unlikely to be offset by the potential increased risk of pancreatitis or additional cost. Additional long-term prospectively designed studies are needed to better understand the efficacy and safety of combination incretin therapy.

Whether oral health care during the perioperative period can lead to a better outcome after heart valve surgery has not been adequately elucidated. We examined the effects of perioperative oral care on postoperative inflammation response in patients who underwent heart valve surgery.

In this retrospective cohort study, 223 patients scheduled for single valve heart surgery were divided into the oral care, who underwent professional teeth cleaning or scaling within 3days prior to surgery, and also following surgery at least twice a week (n=111), and non-oral care (n=112) groups. After propensity score matching, records of both groups (8080) were examined after surgery to evaluate inflammation markers (white blood cell count [WBC], neutrophil/white blood cell ratio [NWR], C-reactive protein [CRP] level, body temperature [BT]).

WBC, NWR, CRP level, and BT were increased in both groups the day following surgery. Thereafter, CRP level, WBC, NWR, and BT on various days after surgery in the oral care group showed greater decreases as compared to the non-oral care group.

Perioperative oral health care can decrease postoperative inflammation in patients undergoing heart valve surgery and may be important to ensure a better outcome in those patients.

In typical development, social cognition may deteriorate in older age, but age effects in ASD adults have been little explored. In the present study, we compared groups of younger and older adults with and without ASD (n = 97), who completed a set of social cognition tasks assessing theory of mind (ToM), and self-report measures of empathy and alexithymia. While typically developing (TD) younger adults outperformed elderly TD and younger ASD participants, younger and older ASD adults did not differ in their ToM performance, and the elderly ASD and TD groups performed equivalently. By contrast, ASD adults reported lower empathy scores and higher levels of alexithymia symptoms compared to TD adults regardless of age. The difference between ASD and TD groups in self-reported empathy scores was no longer significant when alexithymia was covaried (with the exception of the Perspective Taking subscore).
