We describe the case of a 6-year-old female who presented with tender nodules and fixed flexion of her thumbs, diagnosed as bilateral pediatric trigger thumb. Though present since infancy, her condition was not diagnosed in prior clinical visits. Pediatric trigger digit is a clinical diagnosis, often missed if the digit's range of motion is not assessed routinely.

- Insect CAPA neuropeptides are similar to mammalian neuromedin U and play a key role in controlling fluid and ion balance through the Malpighian tubules in insects.
- In adult female mosquitoes, a hormone known as mosquito natriuretic peptide helps manage sodium levels after blood feeding, while a newly identified anti-diuretic hormone counteracts the effects of diuretic hormones.
- Research identified and characterized a specific mosquito anti-diuretic hormone receptor (AedaeADHr) that is highly responsive to CAPA neuropeptides, and the study also revealed that certain signaling pathways are essential for the anti-diuretic effects of CAPA.
