Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in an adult following the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (MIS-V).

SARS-CoV-2 vaccine roll-out has been successful in the UK and other parts of the world; however, there are increasing concerns about adverse events. A 44-year-old woman presented to a UK hospital with left upper arm pain at the vaccine site a couple of days after receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine, which progressed to fever, diarrhoea and abdominal pain over the next few days. She had an erythematous rash on the chest with subcutaneous oedema.

The adoption of children from out-of-home care: The understandings of key decision makers in Victoria, Australia.

Adoption is one of a range of options that can provide children in out-of-home care with permanency when they are unable to be reunified with their birth parents. This paper reports on how the adoption of children from out-of-home care is understood by professionals involved in making decisions about the permanent placement of children in out-of-home care in Victoria, Australia, where adoption is rarely used. Data were collected through a single, face-to-face semi-structured interview with 21 professionals; eight child welfare specialists, eight adoption and permanent care specialists and five judicial officers.

Screening of Patients with Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnoea using Heart Rate Variability Indices.

Objective: Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are common disorders. Snoring associated with excessive daytime sleepiness is the most prevalent symptoms of OSA. Heart rate variability (HRV) is altered in patients with OSA and the degree of alteration may be linked to the severity of OSA.

Immunohistochemical labeling of normal melanocytes.

Comparison of seven antibodies for the demonstration of normal melanocytes in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded surgical discard skin showed that the monoclonal antibody Mel-5 (clone TA99) directed against pigment associated antigen was the most sensitive. Quantitative data were obtained for the sensitivity of the antibodies NKI/beteb, S100, T311, Melan A (clone A103), c-kit, and Mel-5 in parallel sections of human skin. An anticytokeratin antibody (CK34betaE12) was also used to stain basal keratinocytes and provide a negative image of the melanocytes present.
