Article Synopsis
- Epidermoid cysts are uncommon spinal tumors resulting from ectodermal tissue inclusion during early fetal development, with infected cases being particularly rare and challenging to treat.
- A retrospective study of six children with infected epidermoid cysts showed significant neurological symptoms, with some having prior surgeries, yet all patients experienced improvement after microsurgery and physiotherapy.
- Successful microsurgical excision aims to eliminate the cyst while minimizing neurological risks, and none of the patients demonstrated recurrence after a minimum 24-month follow-up.
Biliary atresia (BA) is the most common indication for pediatric liver transplantation. We describe The BA variant: Kotb disease. Liver tissue in the Kotb disease BA is massively damaged by congenital aflatoxicosis resulting in inflammation, adhesions, fibrosis, bile duct proliferation, scarring, cholestasis, focal syncytial giant cell transformation, and typical immune response involving infiltration by CD4+, CD8+, CD68+, CD14+, neutrophil infiltration, neutrophil elastase spill, heavy loads of aflatoxin B1, accelerated cirrhosis, disruption of p53 and GSTPi, and have null glutathione S transferase M1 (GSTM1).

The selected parameters are the full width at half maximum (FWHM) and area under the x-ray scattering profile of breast tissue in addition to the ratio of scattering intensities (I2/I1%) at 1.6 nm(-1) to that at 1.
