CMV Preventive and Treatment Studies in Children Undergoing Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant: A Systematic Review. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is one of the most important infectious causes of morbidity and mortality in children undergoing haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). However, the evidence for preventing and treating CMV disease in children in this context remains limited. We sought to review the current available evidence regarding the prevention

Risk of Acute Kidney Injury Associated With Nephrotoxic Burden in Hospitalized Patients: A Scoping Review. [PDF]
Limited evidence exists synthesizing the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with the concomitant administration of multiple nephrotoxic drugs, and even less examining the concept of nephrotoxic burden. The objective of this scoping review was to (1) identify definitions of nephrotoxic burden; (2) methods used to quantify (use of calculations)
