Question: Is gut microbiota composition altered in children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD)?
Finding: Children with GHD exhibited altered gut microbiota composition and predicted microbial functional pathways despite similar overall microbial diversity.
Meaning: These preliminary findings suggest a potential association between gut microbiota and pediatric GHD and warrant validation in larger prospective studies.

Question: How many children and adolescents have experienced nonfatal injuries in the previous year?

Meaning: The incidence of injuries is higher than this estimation; therefore, more attention and effort are needed to prevent injuries among children and adolescents.

Oral prednisolone was being taken to control SLE. Results of clinical and laboratory examinations did not show any evidence of antiphospholipid syndrome or thromboembolic disease nor SLE activity. Cerebral angiography showed stenosis of the left...
