Diagnosis, Treatment, and Long-Term Management of Kawasaki Disease: A Scientific Statement for Health Professionals From the American Heart Association.

TL;DR: These recommendations provide updated and best evidence-based guidance to healthcare providers who diagnose and manage Kawasaki disease, but clinical decision making should be individualized to specific patient circumstances.

Variation in cancer risk among tissues can be explained by the number of stem cell divisions

TL;DR: It is shown that the lifetime risk of cancers of many different types is strongly correlated with the total number of divisions of the normal self-renewing cells maintaining that tissue’s homeostasis, suggesting that only a third of the variation in cancer risk among tissues is attributable to environmental factors or inherited predispositions.

Obesity-related glomerulopathy: an emerging epidemic.

TL;DR: ORG is distinct from idiopathic FSGS, with a lower incidence of nephrotic syndrome, more indolent course, consistent presence of glomerulomegaly, and milder foot process fusion.

Estimating GFR Using Serum Cystatin C Alone and in Combination With Serum Creatinine: A Pooled Analysis of 3,418 Individuals With CKD

TL;DR: Serum cystatin C level alone provides GFR estimates that are nearly as accurate as serum creatinine level adjusted for age, sex, and race, thus providing an alternative GFR estimate that is not linked to muscle mass.

Clinical calorimetry: tenth paper a formula to estimate the approximate surface area if height and weight be known

TL;DR: Means has found that the range of normal variation from the average is smaller and the apparent depression of metabolism in obesity is much less marked when the linear formula, instead of Meeh's formula, is used to determine surface area.
