Background: Monochorionic twins, characterized by placental sharing and vascular anastomoses, carry a high risk of brain injury, including perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (PAIS). However, the pathophysiology and timing-related risk factors of PAIS remain unclear.
Methods: Retrospective cohort of all monochorionic twins with neuroimaging-confirmed PAIS born from 2005 to 2024 and evaluated at a Dutch national referral center.
Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type III (CDA III) is an extremely rare inherited disorder characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis, multinucleated erythroblasts in the bone marrow, and variable clinical gravity. We report the case of a 6-year-old boy, presenting with abdominal distension, failure to thrive, dark urine, intermittent itching, and recurrent infections. Physical examination revealed pallor, hepatomegaly, and splenomegaly.

Anemia and iron deficiency (ID) are common and significant complications in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) that can affect their health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and outcomes. Current anemia guidelines equate the post-transplant situation with the anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in non-transplanted persons, not acknowledging relevant differences ranging from pathophysiology to clinical manifestation. Nephrologists caring for these patients tend to pay less attention to post-transplant anemia (PTA) and ID than in non-transplanted persons with CKD.

Background: Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is a common intervention for anemia in preterm infants; however, its association with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains debated. While biological mechanisms suggest potential harm, the clinical impact of transfusion frequency on BPD incidence and severity remains unclear.
Objective: To investigate whether RBC transfusion frequency is independently associated with the risk and severity of BPD in preterm infants born before 32 weeks of gestation.

The development of pulmonary hypertension (PH) after splenectomy is one of the recently controversial issues. This study aims to investigate whether splenectomy itself is an independent risk factor for the development of PH or if the primary contributor to PH development is the underlying condition that necessitated splenectomy. This study was conducted prospectively.
