Abdominal lymphatic malformations in children: case series.

Lymphatic Malformations (LMs) are benign congenital malformations of the lymphatic system that commonly involve the abdomen in children (mesentery of the small intestine and omentum). The management of these malformations is not unique. 7 children with different ages (range: newborn to 14 years), diagnosis was incidental in some cases, while in others for abdominal pain.

Mechano-adaptive meta-gels through synergistic chemical and physical information-processing.

Global functional adaptation after local mechanical stimulation, as in mechanobiology and the mimosa plant, is fascinating and ubiquitous in nature. This is achieved by locally sensing mechanical deformation with precise thresholds, processing this information via biochemical circuits, followed by downstream actuation. The integration of such embodied intelligence allowing for mechano-to-chemo-to-function information-processing remains elusive in man-made systems.

Navigating the transition: a multidisciplinary approach to inflammatory bowel disease in children.

Purpose: A multidisciplinary approach to Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) has recently demonstrated a positive impact in pediatric patients, reducing dropout rates and facilitating the transition to adult care. Our study aims to evaluate how this approach influences disease activity, dropout rates, and transition.

Methods: We conducted a longitudinal observational study including all patients diagnosed with IBD during pediatric-adolescent age, with a minimum follow-up period of 12 months.

Hydatid of Morgagni in Young Female: A Rare Case of Acute Abdomen-Case Report and Literature Review.

Torsion of the hydatid of Morgagni is a rare condition which can cause acute abdominal pain in young female. We present a case report of a 13-year-old girl with acute abdominal pain and treated for torsion of the hydatid of Morgagni. Less than 20 cases of female younger than 18 years old with this condition are been described in the literature.
