Background: While macrovascular thrombosis is common in adult COVID-19 patients, thrombotic microangiopathy as a part of endothelitis might play an important role in severe organ dysfunction. Thrombocytopenia-associated multiple organ failure (TAMOF) is a thrombotic microangiopathy syndrome that is associated with endothelial damage. Herein, we aim to report a pediatric TAMOF case related to SARS-CoV-2 infection which has been scarcely reported to date.

This study aimed to determine whether noninvasive intracranial pressure (nICP), calculated via pulsatility index (PI) and optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) had correlated with each other and patient outcome.
Methods: All moderate-severe TBI patients were eligible.
Apnea Test on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Step Forward with Carbon Dioxide.
J Extra Corpor Technol
March 2022
Apnea test must be performed to confirm brain death in patients meet clinical criteria. But the increment of carbon dioxide is generally not achievable because of the diminished production of carbon dioxide and additional sweep in extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We report three children with congenital heart disease treated with ECMO and had brain death during follow-up.

- COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has led to various health issues in children, including neurological symptoms alongside the common respiratory challenges.
- A study retrospectively analyzed cases of pediatric patients with new onset neurological symptoms linked to SARS-CoV-2 at Hacettepe University, finding 15 instances of such manifestations from a broader literature search.
- The most frequent neurological issue identified was encephalopathy, highlighting the need for increased clinical awareness of these neurological effects in COVID-19 patients.
Article Synopsis
- * Initial treatments and etiological exclusions, like drugs and allergies, were conducted, after which imaging revealed the cyst and the patient was treated with albendazole and surgery.
- * The case emphasizes the importance of considering hydatid cyst rupture in anaphylaxis cases without clear causes, especially in areas where this disease is more common.
