    Abstract Introduction/Objective Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and acute ischemic cerebral infarction (AICI) are both leading causes of death around the world. A simultaneous occurrence of these conditions is called a cardio-cerebral infarction (CCI). We are presenting a case of CCI detected in the prehospital setting as a rarity. Case report: The patient presented is a 78-year-old woman with simultaneous development of AMI and AICI. The diagnosis of a suspected CCI was made in the prehospital setting based on hetero anamnestic data, physical examination findings and ST-segment elevation. At the hospital, additional testing (MDCT of the endocranium, echocardiogram and high troponin levels) confirmed both diagnoses. The patient was treated with fibrinolytic therapy but developed cardiac arrest. After extensive CPR efforts, the patient was pronounced dead. Conclusion: It is necessary to create national guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of this emergency condition as soon as possible. In the meantime, an individualized approach to each patient is the best policy.

    Abstract Dysfunctions underlining type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) evolution are insulin resistance and beta-cell secretory insufficiency. Practical but reliable beta-cell function (BCF) testing is still elusive. Methods of BCF measurement include the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA), glucagon stimulation test (GST), oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT), intravenous glucose tolerance tests (IVGTT), meal tolerance tests (MTT) and the hyperglycemic clamp procedure. Oral tests have the advantage of simpler use and superior approximation of real-life stimulation inclusive for incretin activation effects. The advantage of the test meal over the OGTT incudes a more adequate simulation of nutrients effect on incretin secretion. Therefore, a standardized test meal (STO) would best reflect the spike in insulin secretion after a meal in real life. Conclusion: Standardized test meal, as potent stimulus of C-peptide secretion, is a promising simple and naturalistic alternative to in vivo assess beta-cell function in an affordable outpatient setting, through analysis of C-peptide response in newly diagnosed diabetic patients, as potent stimulus of C-peptide secretion.

    Abstract Renovascular disease is an important secondary cause of hypertension in childhood. In this cohort, many may have undiagnosed cerebrovascular disease, and some children present acutely with cerebrovascular complications. However, these associations are yet to be defined in the literature.A systematic review of clinical and radiological abnormalities associated with renovascular hypertension in the global pediatric (< 18 years) population. The MEDLINE, Embase, and Google Scholar databases were searched, from database inception to 26 January 2021. Primary articles were unrestricted by study design and geographical location but were limited to those published in English.A total of 303 individuals (median age: 7.6 years [range 10 days-17.9 years]; M:F, 174:129) from 34 studies were included, across 13 countries. Twenty-seven individual cases were published for children with coexisting renovascular hypertension and cerebrovascular disease. Most children had bilateral renal artery stenosis, secondary to fibromuscular dysplasia and had coexisting occlusive cerebrovascular disease. The majority presented with neurological symptoms, and cerebral complication ranged from asymptomatic cerebrovascular stenosis to acute stroke and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. The location or underlying etiology of the renovascular disease did not predict the location or extent of the cerebrovascular disease. The evidence from the cohort studies was limited, as none specifically established a cohort of children with coexisting disease. Furthermore, the conclusions drawn were subjected to considerable bias from the treating clinicians.A prospective cohort of children with renovascular hypertension and cerebrovascular complications should be established so the long-term prognosis and impact of treatment may be better understood.

    Abstract Propionic (PA) and methylmalonic aciduria (MMA) share many clinical similarities, which include the risk of acute metabolic encephalopathies, and some long-term complications, such as optic neuropathy, pancreatic involvement, developmental disability, and similar management approaches, but they also represent distinct clinical and biochemical entities. In the severe forms of PA and MMA, most long-term complications cannot be prevented with conventional clinical management. Organ transplantation represents a form of partial enzyme replacement to improve the long-term outlook for these disorders. There is evidence that early liver transplant in both disorders greatly improves metabolic stability and reduces the risk of long-term complications. For MMA, early liver transplant reduces methylmalonic acid levels which in turns reduces its effects on kidneys, and therefore slows progression of chronic kidney disease. However, established organ damage cannot be reversed. For patients with MMA who present with chronic kidney disease, consideration should be given for combined liver and kidney transplants. Transplantation in PA and MMA carries a high risk of complications and requires highly specialised pre-operative and peri-operative management. Involvement of a multidisciplinary team is essential and should include metabolic team, nephrologist, hepatologist, hepatobiliary and renal transplant surgeons, anaesthesiologists, cardiologists, intensive care team, dieticians and specialist nurses. These patients require life-long multidisciplinary follow-up. There is increasing evidence in the literature on excellent short to medium-term patient and allograft survival following transplantation when patients are managed by a multidisciplinary team in a specialist centre. Improved early diagnosis and reductions in transplant-related mortality and morbidity have allowed early transplantation to be used electively to further improve the outcome.

    Abstract This paper investigates the cyclical character of economic policy in Serbia in the period 2001-2012. For this purpose the cyclical movement of the following monetary and fiscal variables have been analysed: M2 money supply, the retail price index, the consumer price index, and the real effective exchange rate as the monetary policy indicators, and budget revenues and budget expenditures as the fiscal policy indicators. In the evaluation of the cyclical character of the economic policy, cross-correlation between the cyclical component of economic policy indicators and the gross domestic product at various lags has been observed. The results of cross-correlation analysis suggest that the budget expenditures are countercyclical and lead the aggregate cycle while the budget revenues are procyclical. The cyclical character of M2 money supply in the Serbian economy is somewhat contradictory, so further investigations of the cyclical character of monetary policy and mutual interdependence of money and output are required. The real effective exchange rate is countercyclical. The prices are procyclical and lag behind the cycles in aggregate economic activity. The procyclical character of prices indicates that the causes of the cyclical fluctuations of aggregate economic activities in Serbia in the period from 2001 to 2012 were on the demand side.

    Abstract Many paediatric kidney transplant programmes were closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, and due to the vulnerable nature of patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), there were new concerns once these programmes reopened. We surveyed children and families who received a kidney transplant during the pandemic. We found that half of the participants felt scared and/or anxious about receiving a kidney transplant during the pandemic, and 2/8 participants were worried about catching COVID-19 during their recovery. While detailed counselling and additional safety precautions contributed to a good experience, patients and parents still demonstrated fear towards transplantation.

    Abstract Background: We used the BSAi (Donor BSA/Recipient BSA) to assess whether transplanting a small or large kidney into a pediatric recipient relative to his/her size influences renal transplant outcomes.
    Methods: We included 14 322 single-kidney transplants in pediatric recipients (0-17 years old) (01/2000-02/2020) from the United Network for Organ Sharing database. We divided cases into four BSAi groups (BSAi ≤ 1, 1 < BSAi ≤ 2, 2 < BSAi ≤ 3, BSAi > 3).
    Results: There were no differences concerning delayed graft function (DGF) or primary non-function (PNF) rates, whether the grafts were from living or brain-dead donors. In both transplants coming from living donors and brain-dead donors, cases with BSAi > 3 and cases with 2 < BSAi ≤ 3 had similar graft survival (p = .13 for transplants from living donors, p = .413 for transplants from brain-dead donors), and both groups had longer graft survival than cases with 1 < BSAi ≤ 2 and cases with BSAi ≤ 1 (p < .001). The difference in 10-year graft survival rates between cases with BSAi > 3 and cases with BSAi ≤ 1 reached around 25% in both donor types. The better graft survival in transplants with BSAi > 2 was confirmed in multivariable analysis.
    Conclusions: There is no significant impact of donor-recipient size mismatch on DGF and PNF rates in pediatric renal transplants. However, graft survival is significantly improved when the donor's size is more than twice the pediatric recipient's size.
