Abstract Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a severe bacterial soft tissue infection primarily affecting muscle fascia and subcutaneous tissue. In Europe, it has an annual incidence of 3–5 cases/100 000, with mortality rate 10–15% (rising to 38–45% in septic shock). Risk factors include hypertension, immunosuppression, diabetes, obesity trauma. NF commonly occurs the extremities perineal region less frequently chest. monomicrobial cases, Streptococcus pyogenes most identified. Treatment involves...
Fetal primary cardiac tumors (FPCTs) are very rare. The majority of them correspond to rhabdomyomas, followed by other benign neoplasms or hamartomas. We describe the case a third trimester female stillborn with an incidental autopsy finding Hamartoma Mature Cardiac Myocytes (HMCM), rare tumor previously unreported in fetal neonatal period. intrauterine demise occurred at 32 + 6 weeks gestation after uneventful pregnancy. revealed structurally normal heart small subendocardial nodule just...
To evaluate the correlation of periventricular echogenic halo (halo sign) with histopathological findings and its association other brain imaging abnormalities in fetuses cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection.
Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) haploinsufficiency is a T-cell hyperactivation disorder that can manifest with both immunodeficiency and immune dysregulation. Approximately one-third of patients may present mild symptoms remain stable under supportive care. The remaining develop severe multiorgan autoimmunity requiring lifelong immunosuppressive treatment. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) potentially curable for treatment-resistant Nevertheless, little experience...
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) after neonatal encephalopathy, commonly provided by 72 hours of whole-body cooling using a wrap, limits parents' physical contact with their infants affecting bonding and may not be suitable for encephalopathic preterm fragile skin. Alternative methods are unavailable this population. We investigated in pig model the feasibility achieving 3.5°C reduction rectal temperature (Trectal) similar to clinical TH protocols from 38.5°C (normothermia pigs) target 35°C ±...
An otherwise healthy eight‐year‐old girl presented with a mass in the soft tissue of sacral region. The lesion was diagnosed as vascular malformation on imaging studies, for which percutaneous sclerotherapy attempted. continued to grow and complete resection performed after four years. pathological diagnosis giant cell ependymoma (GCE). GCE is term used describe rare histologic variant characterized by malignancy‐like morphologic phenotype indolent behavior. To best our knowledge, this first...
Abstract Two male siblings with several malformations are reported. The anomalies detected in both fetuses were mesomelic camptomelia, postaxial hexadactyly and Dandy–Walker complex. There was only one similar previous report the literature. This combination could represent a specific pattern of malformation or new syndrome, different variants. parents' consanguinity recurrence subsequent pregnancy suggest an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.

A previously healthy 3-year-old boy was referred by his general practitioner to the paediatric outpatient clinic because of a 6-month history moderate severe constipation. It associated with mild central abdominal pain and slight weight loss. He had been treated Movicol, minimal effect. There …
1. Figure 1 shows an abnormal bowel gas distribution with central paucity, and the impression that is displaced into upper abdomen. 2. Figure 2 a large fluid-filled mass occupying most of abdomen but not extending above liver (arrowed) subphrenic space. This was initially erroneously reported as gross ascites. 3. Figure 3 septated cystic abdominal mass, no discernible cyst wall. Its maximum dimensions are 18.5×10.5×23.5 cm (transverse × antero-posterior cranio-caudal diameters). 4. The...
A 3-year-old girl with no relevant medical or family history presented five small asymptomatic, indurated cutaneous nodules in the left lumbar region. The first two lesions were noticed 18 months prior to consultation. Six before presentation, three new developed same Physical examination showed an agminated group of brown, nodules, from 3 6 mm diameter (Figures 1 and 2). Laboratory tests normal negative including a complete blood count, circulating autoantibodies infectious studies. An...
Periventricular hyperechogenicity “halo” sign, is one of the most frequent US abnormalities in CMV-infected fetuses. It has been defined as a sign ventriculitis and white matter injury. However, there are few reports about postmortem targeted histological examination. Our objective was to obtain more information its significance prognostic value. Two experienced pathologists reviewed slides central nervous system (CNS) from 26 fetuses following termination pregnancy 2nd (N=19) or 3rd...
