Purpose: In infections of the Central Nervous System (iCNS), rapid identification of causing pathogens is crucial for survival and to avoid long-term sequelae. Targeted therapy may reduce side effects and development of antibiotic resistance. New molecular-based syndromic tests such as the "meningitis/encephalitis panel" (MEP) allow accelerated pathogen identification from cerebrospinal fluid.

- In-utero transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is rare, with only a few confirmed cases worldwide, including a recent case involving preterm triplets born to a mother who contracted COVID-19 just a week before delivery.
- The triplets tested positive for the virus at birth and experienced severe complications, such as leukopenia and pulmonary issues, requiring advanced medical support for the most affected.
- Despite serious clinical challenges, the triplets ultimately recovered without lasting health issues, with findings indicating that maternal viremia may increase the risk of vertical transmission of the virus.
Background: Tools are needed to assess laparoscopic camera navigation (LCN) in the operating room. Here, we aimed to develop an objective rating scale for LCN.
Study Design: We defined the following key aspects of LCN: operational field centering, correct angle of the horizon, correct instrument visualization, verbal commands from the operating surgeon, and manual corrections from the operating surgeon.
Purpose: Scrotal ultrasound, color Doppler and spectral Doppler analysis of intratesticular arteries are the most common and important examinations in boys with scrotal pain. In the existing literature information concerning feasibility and reference values of color Doppler and spectral Doppler in small testes is inconsistent.
Materials And Methods: In the present study 102 boys from 2 days to 16 years old without present or anamnestic scrotal disease were examined in a standardized manner.
Prenatally or postnatally diagnosed dilatation of the upper urinary tract initiates postnatal investigations, including sonography, dynamic renography (MAG 3) and optional voiding cystourethrography. The first ultrasound examination should be performed 3-5 days after birth and in urgent cases 10-12 h after delivery of the baby. Dynamic renography (MAG 3) is the standard diagnostic investigation and permits simultaneous assessment of renal perfusion and drainage.
