Encephalitis is a rare and potentially fatal manifestation of herpes simplex type 1 infection. Following genome-wide genetic analyses, we identified a previously uncharacterized and very rare heterozygous variant in the E3 ubiquitin ligase WWP2, in a 14-month-old girl with herpes simplex encephalitis. The p.

- * Data were analyzed from the Swiss Neuropediatric Stroke Registry, focusing on children with cardiac disease who experienced AIS after procedures from 2000 to 2015, revealing that a substantial number experienced AIS shortly after cardiac interventions.
- * Key risk factors identified for postprocedural AIS included hypotension, the presence of prosthetic cardiac materials, right-to-left shunts, arrhythmias, low cardiac output, and infections, indicating that many of these risks are potentially modifiable.
Acute monophasic erythromelalgia pain in five children diagnosed as small-fiber neuropathy.

September 2020
The small-fiber polyneuropathies (SFN) are a class of diseases in which the small thin myelinated (Aδ) and/or unmyelinated (C) fibers within peripheral nerves malfunction and can degenerate. SFN usually begins in the farthest, most-vulnerable axons, so distal neuropathic pain and symptoms from microvascular dysregulation are common. It is well known in adults, e.
