A case report of a 14-year-old male patient with large vessel vasculitis following COVID-19.

Most reported cases of large vessel vasculitis (LVV) following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have involved adults, with paediatric cases being rare. We present the case of a 14-year-old boy who developed LVV following COVID-19. Initially, he presented with fever and cough, and nasopharyngeal polymerase chain reaction testing confirmed COVID-19.

Potential of the Thoracoepigastric Vein as a Drainage Vein in Breast Reconstruction With a Free Flap: An Anatomical Study Using Computed Tomography.

Background: The recipient vessel choice is very important when performing free-flap breast reconstructions. Usually, the concomitant vein of the recipient artery is anastomosed, and mismatches in the diameter are occasionally observed. We consider the thoracoepigastric vein (TEV) as a potential useful recipient vein.

Activation of bystander CD8 T cells in a pediatric patient with acute hepatitis E.

Most children with acute hepatitis A virus (HAV) or hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection are asymptomatic. Bystander CD8 T-cell activation has garnered attention owing to its possible pathophysiological role in adult hepatitis. However, no reports have studied it in pediatric hepatitis.

Pediatric Hospital Admissions with Concern for Neglect: Correlations Between Neglect Types and Other Clinical and Environmental Risk Factors.

Objective: Child neglect is a public health concern with negative consequences that impact children, families, and society. While neglect is involved with many pediatric hospitalizations, few studies explore characteristics associated with neglect types, social needs, and post-discharge care.

Methods: Data on neglect type, sociodemographics, social needs, inpatient consultations, and post-discharge care were collected from the electronic medical record for children aged 0-5 years who were hospitalized with concern for neglect during 2016-2020.

A Case of Anorexia Nervosa with Focal Cortical Dysplasia.

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a fatal condition associated with extreme underweight and undernutrition. It is more common in young females, with a female-to-male ratio of 10 : 1. Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is characterized by dysplasia of the cerebral cortex and is a common cause of pharmacoresistant epilepsy.
