Successful Laparoscopy-Assisted Extirpation of Burkitt's Lymphoma Causing Intestinal Obstruction in a 17-Year-Old Boy.

Childhood extranodal B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are often caused by Burkitt's lymphoma (BL). Treatment usually involves intensive polychemotherapy, and recent prospective trials show significantly improved outcomes. Surgery primarily involves conducting biopsies; ablative interventions are not recommended.

Raghib Syndrome and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in a Pediatric Patient: Case Report and Literature Review.

Raghib syndrome is a rare malformation complex consisting of the drainage of the left superior vena cava (LSVC) into the left atrium, ostial atresia of the coronary sinus and an atrial septal defect (ASD). This report aims to present the case of a child newly diagnosed with Raghib syndrome, complicated by pulmonary arterial hypertension, and to review previously published cases with the same diagnosis. A six-year-old female patient presented with signs and symptoms of heart failure (Ross III), reduced exercise tolerance and severe delay in stature and ponderal development.

Urethral multiplicity in boys: systematic review of case reports and case series from the last 15 years.

Introduction: Urethral multiplicity is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of two or more urethral channels. It is more common in males and can cause double urinary stream, incontinence, obstruction, and recurrent urinary infections. Diagnosis is difficult due to diverse clinical manifestations.

Interobserver Agreement and Reference Intervals for Biventricular Myocardial Deformation in Full-Term, Healthy Newborns: A 2D Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography-Based Strain Analysis.

Data regarding reference intervals for strain parameters derived from 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography in full-term newborns are limited and still under development. Our objectives were to establish the level of reproducibility and reference intervals in assessing myocardial function using 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography for longitudinal and regional strain measurements. A total of 127 full-term newborns were examined to be included in the study, of which 103 were analyzed.
