Background: There is variability in the literature on the role of the depth of invasion (DOI) for recommending an elective neck dissection (END).
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to estimate the DOI threshold for recommending an END.
Study Design, Setting, Sample: A retrospective cohort study was performed at McGill University Health Centre from 2008 to 2018 with 5 years of follow-up.

This retrospective study evaluates the incidence and risk factors of community-acquired urinary tract infections (CA-UTIs) linked to extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBLPE). The study was conducted in a tertiary hospital in northern Israel and included children younger than 18 years with CA-UTIs due to Enterobacterales who were admitted to the emergency department, during the years 2017 to 2019. Among the 570 children, 9.

- Non-polio enterovirus aseptic meningitis (NPE-AM) is an illness in infants that can look like serious bacterial infections (SBI) but generally resolves on its own.
- A study analyzed 1,278 hospitalized febrile infants under 3 months old, finding that NPE-AM was present in 16.2% of cases, with notable differences in symptoms like fever severity and rash occurrence compared to SBI and non-bacterial infections (NBI).
- Infants with NPE-AM often received antibiotics due to their similar presentation to bacterial infections, highlighting the need for faster testing methods to differentiate between these conditions.
Purpose: Mutations were previously identified in the CYP1B1 gene in six out of 18 Lebanese families (33%) with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG). The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency and type of pathogenic mutations in other genes and compare to other populations using whole-exome sequencing and perform genotype-phenotype correlations.
Methods: Twelve PCG patients previously negative for CYP1B1/MYOC mutations were subjected to whole-exome sequencing.
