Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in ISN children and analyze the demographic parameters, clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes in ISN pediatric pat...

Point-of-care meters tended to underestimate neonatal bilirubin levels, compared with conventional laboratory-based quantification.

Using a genetic biomarker for caffeine consumption, researchers found inverse relationships with lower body weight and type 2 diabetes.

First-line systemic therapy in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer should be based on individual disease and patient characteristics, results of a meta-analysis suggest.
