Jean-Martin Charcot: Pioneer of Neurology.

Jean-Martin Charcot, born on November 29, 1825, in Paris, France, is known as the father of neurology. During a time when neurology was not yet a recognized medical specialty, Charcot's pioneering contributions significantly advanced the field. Charcot's use of the anatomo-clinical method, which correlates clinical symptoms with anatomical findings, led to the discovery and characterization of numerous neurological conditions, including multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Charcot's joint, and Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease.

A case of COVID-19-associated C-ANCA vasculitis, was successfully treated with rituximab therapy.

Both C-anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) and P-ANCA vasculitis were reported to be associated with COVID-19 infection. The ideal management of COVID-19-associated ANCA vasculitis is unclear, as the experiences were limited to case reports. We presented a case of COVID-19-associated C-ANCA vasculitis, successfully treated with steroids and rituximab therapy without any significant adverse reactions.

Mitral Valve Repair in a 15-Month-Old Child With Kingella kingae Endocarditis.

Ureteral Metastasis From Prostate Cancer: A Report of Two Cases.

Prostate adenocarcinoma (PCa) is the second most common cause of cancer in men, but metastases to the ureter are exceedingly rare. Here, we present two cases with differing clinical symptoms and treatment courses but ultimately the same diagnosis. The two cases presented here had differing clinical presentations: one with lower urinary tract symptoms and the other with hydronephrosis.
