Infant With Beckwith-Wiedemann Requiring Transplant for Hepatic Mesenchymal Hamartoma.

Background: Liver transplantation for unresectable, benign hepatic lesions is rare. Hepatic mesenchymal hamartomas (HMH) are benign, cystic tumors that arise mostly in pediatric populations and can cause compressive symptoms. HMH is rarely associated with placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS).

Genome evolution following an ecological shift in nectar-dwelling .

Unlabelled: The bacterial genus includes species found in environmental habitats like soil and water, as well as taxa adapted to be host-associated or pathogenic. High genetic diversity may allow for this habitat flexibility, but the specific genes underlying switches between habitats are poorly understood. One lineage of has undergone a substantial habitat change by evolving from a presumed soil-dwelling ancestral state to thrive in floral nectar.

Generation of induced pluripotent stem cell line, NCHi027-A, from a female child with Posterior Cloaca (Type B).

Cloaca is an ultra-rare severe anorectal malformation in females where the gastrointestinal, genital, and urologic systems converge. Posterior Cloaca (Type B) is an extremely rare specific variant, where the urogenital sinus opens just anterior to the anus. NCHi027-A is an iPSC line derived from skin fibroblasts of a 4 year and 8-month-old female with Posterior Cloaca (Type B) using Sendai Virus reprogramming.

Decreasing Agitation in Neurodiverse Patients with Mental Health Concerns.

Purpose: Children and adolescents are experiencing a mental health crisis. Neurodiverse patients have high rates of mental health conditions and worse outcomes. To address this disparity, the Autism Spectrum Disorder Care Pathway was applied to a pediatric emergency department (PED) and Observation Unit (OU) in order to decrease agitation experienced by these patients.

Health and Social Services During Heat Events: Demand for Services in Los Angeles County.

The authors analyze the relationship between heat events in Los Angeles County and (1) emergency medical services, (2) emergency room visits, (3) deaths investigated by the medical examiner, and (4) bookings for violent offenses. Heat events are classified according to the National Weather Service HeatRisk system. Days classified as moderate, major, and severe HeatRisk days are associated with worse results for all these outcomes.
