Pulmonary hamartomas are the most common benign tumors of the lung in adults. They are usually asymptomatic because of their small size and their slow-growing character. We report the case of a 5-year-old child presenting with a giant lung mass causing recurrent right pneumonia.

- The study examined how high-risk and low-risk parents for child physical abuse differ in their use of harsh discipline when faced with ambiguous child situations.* -
- High-risk parents were significantly more likely to resort to harsh verbal and physical discipline, with fathers generally using these methods more than mothers, although there was no significant difference in punishment usage between the two roles.* -
- The results highlight that harsh parenting behaviors in ambiguous situations may be common, suggesting the need for further investigation into the potential negative impacts of these practices on children.*
Background: Flexible bronchoscopy is mainly used to diagnose airway foreign bodies (AFBs). Due to advances in pediatric anesthesia, many teams have considered the extraction of AFBs by flexible bronchoscopy. We aimed to assess the success of flexible bronchoscopy in AFB removal in children.

Identification of new proteins involved in this process is essential to understand how DNA lesions accumulate in cancer cells and how they tolerate them. Here, we show that human GNL3/nucleostemin, a GTP-binding protein localized mostly in the nucleolus and highly expressed in cancer cells, prevents nuclease-dependent resection of nascent DNA in response to replication stress.
