Article Synopsis
- Craniopharyngiomas are rare tumors that make up about 80% of childhood tumors in the hypothalamic-pituitary region, which can lead to significant long-term health issues despite their benign nature.
- Their location near critical brain structures like the visual pathways, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland complicates treatment and can result in neuroendocrine problems, even though survival rates are generally high.
- In response to varying treatment approaches, a national initiative in the UK aims to create standardized, evidence-based guidelines for managing these tumors in children, developed by key medical organizations and using a specific methodology for consistency in care.
Background: In March 2020, Covid-19 secondary to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was declared a global pandemic.
Methods: This retrospective observational study included patients with Covid-19, managed in a single intensive care unit (ICU). We collected data on patient characteristics, laboratory and radiological findings and ICU management.
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV, family Birnaviridae) is a bi-segmented double-stranded RNA virus for which two serotypes are described. Serotype 1 replicates in the bursa of Fabricius and causes an immunosuppressive and potentially fatal disease in young chickens. Serotype 2 is apathogenic in poultry species.
