Dietary management of pediatric patients with kidney disease: recommendations by The Korean Society of Pediatric Nephrology and The Korean Society of Clinical Nutrition.

Pediatric kidney disease has a relatively lower prevalence than do other pediatric conditions and has a notably different etiology from kidney diseases observed in adults. Furthermore, the pediatric population is unique in that they experience ongoing growth and development, distinguishing them from adult patients. Consequently, pediatric patients with kidney disease require more specialized and meticulous nutritional management than do adults.

Trends in antibiotic resistance of urinary tract infections in young children, 2010-2023.

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTI) are the leading cause of severe bacterial infection in children under 24 months. Increasing antimicrobial resistance, particularly to third-generation cephalosporins, is a growing concern. This study examines recent resistance trends in young children with UTI in Korea.

Assessing Serum Pepsinogen and Tests for Detecting Diffuse-Type Gastric Cancer: Insights from a Large-Scale and Propensity-Score-Matched Study in Republic of Korea.

Comparison of GastroPanel and GENEDIA in Diagnosing Infection and Gastric Lesions.

Serological tests for needs local validation as the diagnostic accuracy may vary depending on the prevalence of . . This study examined the diagnostic performance of two ELISA, GastroPanel (GastroPanel ELISA; Biohit Oyj) and GENEDIA (GENEDIA .

A prospective comparison of two computer aided detection systems with different false positive rates in colonoscopy.

This study evaluated the impact of differing false positive (FP) rates in two computer-aided detection (CADe) systems on the clinical effectiveness of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted colonoscopy. The primary outcomes were adenoma detection rate (ADR) and adenomas per colonoscopy (APC). The ADR in the control, system A (3.

Association Between Longer Cecal Intubation Time and Detection and Miss Rate of Colorectal Neoplasms.

A longer cecal intubation time (CIT) occurs during colonoscopy under difficult insertion conditions, which may hinder meticulous mucosal observation. However, whether a longer CIT has detrimental effects on the detection of adenomas remains unclear. We evaluated the effects of CIT on the detection and miss rates of colorectal neoplasms in asymptomatic participants.

Gastrointestinal involvement of passenger lymphocyte syndrome followed by minor ABO-incompatible renal transplantation: A case report.

Background: People with group O blood are considered universal organ donors compatible with any other blood group. However, in the case of minor ABO-incompatible transplantation, immune-mediated hemolysis may occur due to concomitant transfer of donor B lymphocytes together with the allograft. These passenger lymphocytes can produce antibodies in the recipients erythrocytes, causing hemolytic anemia known as passenger lymphocyte syndrome (PLS).

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound for the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis in pediatric patients with urinary tract infection: A feasibility study.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the feasibility of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis (APN) in pediatric patients with febrile urinary tract infection (UTI).

Materials And Methods: Between March 2019 and January 2021, study participants with suspected UTI were assessed for APN using ultrasound. Parenchymal echogenicity changes, renal pelvis dilatation, and the presence of a focal suspected lesion were assessed using conventional grayscale ultrasound.

Preventive effect of Helicobacter pylori eradication on the coronary heart diseases depending on age and sex with a median follow-up of 51 months.

Background: The association between Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and coronary heart disease (CHD) is controversial. This study aimed to investigate the effect of H. pylori eradication on CHD, especially in terms of age and sex.

Visceral Obesity Is a More Important Factor for Colorectal Adenomas than Skeletal Muscle or Body Fat.

Objective: Although the incidence of colorectal adenomas increases with obesity, the role of various body compositions is still unknown. We aimed to determine which body composition best reflects the risk of colorectal adenomas.

Methods: Patients aged 50-75 years who underwent colonoscopy and a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) for a health check-up from 2017 to 2019 were retrospectively enrolled.

Long-term Effects of the Eradication of on Metabolic Parameters, Depending on Sex, in South Korea.

Background/aims: (HP) infection is positively associated with metabolic syndrome (MS). However, the long-term effects of eradication therapy on MS and sex differences have not been thoroughly studied. We aimed to investigate the long-term effects of HP eradication on MS and sex differences.

Network Analysis of Cardiac Remodeling by Primary Mitral Regurgitation Emphasizes the Role of Diastolic Function.

Background: Topological data analysis (TDA) can generate patient-patient similarity networks by analyzing large, complex data and derive new insights that may not be possible with standard statistics.

Objectives: The purpose of this paper was to discover novel phenotypes of chronic primary mitral regurgitation (MR) patients and to analyze their clinical implications using network analysis of echocardiographic data.

Methods: Patients with chronic moderate to severe primary MR were prospectively enrolled from 11 Asian tertiary hospitals (n = 850; mean age 56.

Non-alcoholic/Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease and Additively Increase the Risk of Arterial Stiffness.

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and () infection have a close association with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is characterized by metabolic dysfunction in NAFLD. We investigated the synergistic effects of NAFLD/MAFLD and infection on the risk of arterial stiffness in an asymptomatic population.

Long-term effect of the eradication of Helicobacter pylori on the hemoglobin A1c in type 2 diabetes or prediabetes patients.

Background/aims: The long-term effect of Helicobacter pylori eradication on the metabolic syndrome or diabetes are unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of H. pylori eradication on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or prediabetes mellitus (preDM).

The Risk of Colorectal Adenoma in Nonalcoholic or Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease.

Unlabelled: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of liver disease associated with various metabolic disorders. Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) emphasizes metabolic dysfunction in NAFLD. Although the relationship between NAFLD and colorectal adenomas has been suggested, the effect of MAFLD on colorectal adenoma has yet to be investigated.

Risk Factors for High-Risk Adenoma on the First Lifetime Colonoscopy Using Decision Tree Method: A Cross-Sectional Study in 6,047 Asymptomatic Koreans.

As risk of colorectal neoplasm is varied even in persons with "average-risk," risk evaluation and tailored screening are needed. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors of high-risk adenoma (HRA) in healthy individuals and determine the characteristics of advanced neoplasia (AN) among individual polyps. Asymptomatic adults who underwent the first lifetime screening colonoscopy at the Seoul National University Hospital Healthcare System Gangnam Center (SNUH GC) were recruited from 2004 to 2007 as SNUH GC Cohort and were followed for 10 years.

Blood pressure measurements and hypertension in infants, children, and adolescents: from the postmercury to mobile devices.

A mercury sphygmomanometer (MS) has been the gold standard for pediatric blood pressure (BP) measurements, and diagnosing hypertension is critical. However, because of environmental issues, other alternatives are needed. Noninvasive BP measurement devices are largely divided into auscultatory and oscillometric types.
