Article Synopsis
- * Immediate surgery is crucial for type A AD (affecting the ascending aorta) to reduce mortality, while type B AD (descending aorta) is generally managed with medication unless complications arise.
- * Case studies illustrate the severity of type A AD by showing fatal outcomes in two patients, while cases of type B had better results, emphasizing the need for increased awareness and improved healthcare policies for cardiovascular emergencies.
Article Synopsis
- Constipation in children is characterized by symptoms like infrequent, painful, or hard stools, highlighting its significance as a common health issue.
- A study conducted from April 2019 to January 2020 at CHU Gabriel Touré assessed 75 pediatric patients aged 0 to 15 meeting specific criteria, finding a high prevalence of constipation, particularly in younger children.
- Most cases were functional, with laxatives being commonly prescribed, while Hirschsprung disease was the leading cause of organic constipation.
Article Synopsis
- Asthma is the most common chronic disease among children, leading to many emergency visits and hospitalizations, and its prevalence is rising worldwide.
- A study conducted over one year identified 105 asthmatic patients, primarily aged 2-5, with a significant number of attacks occurring in December, largely triggered by smoke and humidity.
- Improving education for children with asthma and their families, along with standard management protocols, can help reduce asthma-related health issues.
Probing cognition and consciousness in the absence of functional communication remains an extremely challenging task. In this perspective, we imagined a basic clinical procedure to explore pain anticipation at bedside. In a series of 61 patients with a disorder of consciousness, we tested the existence of a nociceptive anticipation response by pairing a somaesthetic stimulation with a noxious stimulation.

However, the relationship between functional intercortical interactions and the structural connections thought to underlie them is poorly understood. In the present work, we explore both functional (with an EEG-based metric: the median weighted symbolic mutual information in the theta band) and structural (with a brain MRI-based metric: fractional anisotropy) connectivities in a cohort of 78 patients with disorders of consciousness.
