Tricuspid Atresia is a rare cyanotic congenital heart disease that impairs oxygenation. A 16-months female child from rural area in Nepal presented with shortness of breath, cyanosis the lips and extremities, feeding difficulties severe acute malnutrition. Patient had been diagnosed as at nine months but sought treatment Shamans due to lack knowledge along financial constraints. Diagnostic echocardiography referred centre revealed type IB ventricular septal defect. While awaiting surgery,...
Abstract Background Accurate differentiation between radiation necrosis (RN) and tumor in brain metastases (BM) treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) can be challenging, but it is important because an accurate diagnosis impacts clinical management. In this study, we evaluated the utility of arterial spin labeling perfusion MRI (ASL-MRI) to accomplish task. Methods We retrospectively 45 patients 52 previously irradiated BM who had ASL-MRI prior surgical resection. Histopathology served...
The objective was to determine if hospital admission of children with blunt abdominal trauma for observation possible intraabdominal injury (IAI) is necessary after a normal computed tomography (CT) scan in the emergency department (ED).The authors conducted prospective observational cohort study less than 18 years age who underwent an CT ED. Abdominal scans were obtained intravenous contrast but no oral contrast. decision hospitalize patient made by attending physician (EP) or pediatric...
The development of probiotics as therapies to cure or prevent disease lags far behind that other investigational medications. Rigorously designed phase I clinical trials are nearly non-existent in the field probiotic research, which is a contributing factor this disparity. As consequence, how appropriately dose study their efficacy unknown. Herein we propose novel ascending trial Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis (B. infantis) identify required produce predominant gut colonisation...
Abstract We report two unique cases of patients with Darier disease and hidradenitis suppurativa. Although it is unknown whether there a connection between the diseases, possible that an interaction sarcoendoplasmic reticulum calcium transport ATP ase Notch homolog 1, translocation‐associated (Drosophila) caused both diseases in these individuals.
A 12-year-old girl presented with extensive epidermal nevi, new onset seizures, mental retardation, and oral ocular abnormalities. We briefly review the case nevus syndrome (ENS), which is characterized by nevi occurring in conjunction neurologic, ocular, skeletal, and/or other system involvement.
A previously healthy 3-month-old male presented to the hospital with an acute onset of vesicles coalescing into tense bullae on hands and feet. On admission, vesicles, erosions were noted palms soles (figure 1). Complete blood count showed mildly elevated white cells peripheral eosinophilia. punch biopsy revealed a subepidermal …
Abstract Background Cloud‐based image sharing technology allows facilitated of images. has not been well‐studied for acne assessments or treatment preferences, among international evaluators. We evaluated inter‐rater variability grading and recommendations an group dermatologists that assessed photographs. Methods This is a prospective, single visit photographic study to assess agreement photographs shared through integrated mobile device, cloud‐based, HIPAA ‐compliant platform. Inter‐rater...
A 5-day-old preterm male infant presents with gray-brown crusted plaques on the midback surrounding erythematous patches.On admission to NICU, surfactant was administered and umbilical lines were placed. Ampicillin gentamicin started empirically. Over next 2 days, underwent extubation noninvasive ventilation, trophic feeds initiated, antibiotics discontinued because blood culture negative. Phototherapy initiated for hyperbilirubinemia. On postnatal day 3, patient developed acute pulmonary...
Abstract We report a case of an increasing number discrete patches darkly pigmented terminal hair in patient with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. This adds to small series three patients which have previously reported this observation. highlight hairy as important clinical feature associated
Abstract We present a case of SCALP syndrome, which was diagnosed in male infant with the characteristic findings sebaceous nevi, central nervous system malformations, aplasia cutis congenita, limbal dermoid, and giant congenital melanocytic or pigmented nevi. identified germline compound heterozygous DOCK6 mutation somatic mosaic NRAS Q61R nevus. This report will increase clinician awareness syndrome augment literature characterizing this rare including its genetic background.
Abstract Select Aspergillus species can produce oxalate as a fermentation byproduct, which may react with calcium ions to insoluble crystals in tissues. These are frequently associated pulmonary infections, yet rarely described primary cutaneous aspergillosis. Herein, we report the presence of detected on specimens from niger and fumigatus infections an immunocompromised, premature infant. No metabolic sources oxalosis were found.
