A Unique Case of Eight Fetuses in a Single Fetu.

Fetus in fetu is a rare congenital anomaly in which a malformed parasitic twin is found within the body of a living child or adult. In this case report, a 1-day-old child presented with a large firm abdominal mass on the left side of the upper abdomen. Imaging studies misdiagnosed the mass as an intraperitoneal benign dermoid cyst displacing the bowel loops and internal viscera.

Spectrum of Multiple Congenital Anomalies-Hypotonia-Seizures Syndrome 3 (MCAHS3) Due to Phosphatidylinositol Glycan Biosynthesis Class T (PIGT) Gene Mutations: A Narrative Review.

Multiple congenital anomalies-hypotonia-seizures syndrome 3 (MCAHS3) results from mutations in the phosphatidylinositol glycan biosynthesis class T (PIGT) gene leading to defects in glycosylphosphatidylinositol transamidase complex (GPI-TA) synthesis. Glycosylphosphatidylinositol serves as an anchor to more than 150 mammalian proteins for attachment on cell surfaces, enabling specific functional properties. Mutations in the PIGT gene result in disruption of this extremely important post-translational protein modification, yielding dysfunctional proteins leading to MCAHS3.

Isolated Talonavicular Joint Tuberculosis in a Child - Rare Location of Koch's Bacillus: A Case Report.

Tuberculosis of the foot is an uncommon entity and the reported incidence is 0.1% to 0.3%.

RNAi dynamics in Juvenile Fasciola spp. Liver flukes reveals the persistence of gene silencing in vitro.

Background: Fasciola spp. liver fluke cause pernicious disease in humans and animals. Whilst current control is unsustainable due to anthelmintic resistance, gene silencing (RNA interference, RNAi) has the potential to contribute to functional validation of new therapeutic targets.
