Neuroblastoma Occurring in Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome.

Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) is a rare primary immunodeficiency disease due to a pathogenic variant in the NBN gene causing impaired DNA repair and increased predisposition for lymphoid malignancy. By contrast, solid tumors have been rarely reported. Neuroblastoma (NB) is a rare childhood solid tumor, associated with the worse outcome if MYCN oncogene is amplified.

Hair-thread strangulation syndrome in childhood: a systematic review.

Introduction: Hair-thread strangulation syndrome describes the constriction of a body part by a tightly wound hair or thread. This research aims to review the literature about this entity.

Methods: A systematic review was performed to characterise hair-thread strangulation syndrome in subjects aged ≤16 years.

Nuclear waste Educator's workshop: What and how do we teach about nuclear waste?

A workshop was held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on July 25th and 26th, 2022. The objective was to develop a blueprint for educating next-generation engineers and scientists about nuclear waste management and disposal, which requires knowledge from diverse disciplines, including nuclear, chemical, civil, environmental, and geological science and engineering. The 49 participants included university professors, researchers, industry experts, and government officials from different areas.

Predictors of complications associated with unerupted maxillary canines: a cone beam computed tomography study.

To detect predictive factors for the occurrence of complications associated with unerupted maxillary canines (C). A total of 83 cone beam computed tomograms (CBCT), made from November 1, 2021 to October 31, 2022, have met the inclusion criteria, whereby 110 unerupted C were detected. Independent variables were: gender, age, and C position.

Song recordings suggest feeding ground sharing in Southern Hemisphere humpback whales.

The Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean (ASSO) has one of the highest densities of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) compared to other polar and subpolar regions, which attracts migratory baleen whale species to aggregate in this area for feeding. Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) also sing extensively while on the Southern Ocean feeding grounds which allows for the exploration of song similarity between feeding grounds and breeding populations which helps to understand population mixing. The results of comparative song analyses between the ASSO and the Ecuadorian and Brazilian breeding populations and recordings from the Chilean, South African and Namibian migration routes/mid-latitude feeding grounds revealed that individuals from at least three humpback whale breeding populations most likely migrate to shared feeding grounds in the ASSO.
