A Twist in Perception: A Case of an Eight-Year-Old Female With Alice in Wonderland Syndrome.

The article aims to explore the challenges involved in diagnosing and managing Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS) in pediatric cases, focusing on an eight-year-old female with perceptual distortions affecting vision, hearing, and time perception. AIWS, a rare neurological phenomenon, manifests as distortions in the perception of the body and external stimuli. The lack of established diagnostic criteria, particularly in the pediatric population, complicates accurate identification.

Tracheo-oesophageal fistula in a case of button battery ingestion: CT virtual bronchoscopy imaging.

Foreign body ingestion in paediatric population is a very common problem. Usually the foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract without any complications; however, certain foreign bodies like button batteries might cause severe injuries like tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TOF), oesophago-aortic fistula, perforation and mediastinitis, vocal cord paralysis and stenosis after suspected perforation. In our case, an infant developed a TOF following ingestion of button battery which was diagnosed with the help of CT virtual bronchoscopy.

Comparative investigations of infectious runting and stunting syndrome in vaccinated breeder chicks by inactivated reovirus and chicks from non-vaccinated breeders.

Reoviruses are important pathogens responsible for poor growth performance and silent losses in the poultry industry. They are associated with many disease and syndromes such as malabsorption (runting and stunting syndrome), respiratory diseases and immunosuppression. Broiler birds are most susceptible to viral infections during the early post hatching period.

Effect of high moisture storage of pearl millet (Pennisetum typhoides) with or without feed enzymes on growth and nutrient utilization in broiler chickens.

Effect of reconstitution of pearl millet with or without enzymes on its utilization in broiler chickens was studied. The pearl millet grains were reconstituted by adding water to raise the moisture level to 30%, followed by storage in sealed plastic buckets with or without feed enzymes (0.5 g/kg) for 21 days at room temperature (25 degrees C).
