Current clinical opinion supports the recommendation that total solute clearance in paediatric patients should meet or exceed that in the guidelines for adults of a combined urinary and peritoneal Kt/V urea value per week of 1.8 [19] or 1.7 [10] or a creatinine clearance of 50 L/week per 1....
Significant benefits of exercise and habitual PA have been documented for children with CF [29, 30] including improvements in cardiovascular endurance [31, 32], muscular strength [30, 33], quality of life [34, 35], and mucus clearance [36, 37]. There are few randomized controlled exercise ...

In children receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, mean serum osteocalcin concentrations are substantially lower than in similar pa- tients on hemodyalysis (1). This difference may be due to clearance of the protein by the peritoneal membrane. To test this possibility we examined ...
In 2011, a retrospective study in pediatric psoriasis patients (range 2–18 years) demonstrated complete clearance in 51 % and a good response (at least 75 % improvement) in 41 % of the children. Mean duration of treatment was 3.3 months [78]. Only a small number of pediatric patients ...
Nephrotoxicity with a grade III (WHO) decrease of creatinine clearance was found in 25% of the documented patients with a fast return to normal values after the end of therapy in most of the children. For the follow-up MAKEI 93 study, different topics are defined. 1. The value of ...
This raises interesting questions about the biology of Salmonella serovar Pullorum, including why there is an increase in bacterial numbers when birds become sexually mature and in particular how Salmonella serovar Pullorum avoids clearance by macrophages and whether it modulates the immune system in ...

Antibody clearance was achieved after 13 PEX cycles (range 6–31). Four out of 5 patients received methylprednisolone pulses. All patients received oral prednisolone and MMF, and four patients received a median of 4 RTX doses (range 2–4). After a mean follow-up of 27 months, 4/5 ...
