Neonatal upper limb arteriovenous malformation: a therapeutic challenge.

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare congenital vascular malformations with associated morbidities. We describe a neonatal case of upper limb high-flow AVM presenting with upper limb soft tissue mass and postnatal high-output heart failure. Doppler study suggested high-flow AVM, and later magnetic resonance angiography of the right upper limb confirmed the diagnosis.

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia sepsis in preterm neonates.

, an environmentally ubiquitous microbe, is a challenging opportunistic pathogen in the hospital setting. Neonates are particularly vulnerable to infection with but information on presentation, therapeutic response and outcome of such infection in this population is limited. To expand this knowledge, we report here a series of five cases.

Galangin promotes apoptosis by upregulating the pro-apoptotic gene BAX in triple-negative breast cancer.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive and formidable subtypes of breast cancer, devoid of targeted therapy and frequently leading to unfavorable prognoses and significant side effects. The demand for creative and effective treatment options has prompted the current study to investigate the potential of natural chemicals as therapeutic agents. This study intends to examine the efficacy of Galangin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, in treating triple-negative breast cancer.

Early onset fulminant neonatal sepsis and multiple serous effusions caused by in an extremely preterm neonate.

is a Gram-negative bacterium commonly isolated from environmental sources such as plants and soil. Infections in humans are usually reported following penetrating wounds or in hospital settings due to contaminated medical equipment. Neonatal sepsis caused by this organism is rare.

A survey on management practices of hypotension in preterm neonates: an Indian perspective.

Background: Hypotension is a common entity in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and is reported in 24%-50% of preterm infants with birth weight less than 1,500 g. Rapid diagnosis and aggressive management is crucial to reduce its detrimental effects on end-organs especially the brain. Physicians often rely on blood pressure alone as a reliable indicator of tissue perfusion, but variations exist in the definition of this crucial parameter.
