Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma is the malignant mesenchymal proliferation of undifferentiated skeletal muscle. It is the most common soft tissue tumour found in children. Head and neck location accounts for 40% of the cases with the most common variants being of embryonal Nasopharyngeal RMS is a type of parameningeal RMS (arising from tissues adjacent to the meninges) having propensity for CNS and known for having a poorer prognosis, early recurrence, rapid growth and invasion to adjacent structures.

Background: Pantoea agglomerans is a gram negative, aerobic/facultative anaerobic, rod shaped bacilli commonly isolated from plants, soil, food and faeces.(1) It is a rare cause of opportunistic infections in humans acquired mainly via two major routes being, wound infection or hospital acquired.
Case Report: Here, we encountered a landmark, first of its kind, head and neck manifestation of a cervical soft tissue abscess with Pantoea agglomerans being the miscreant.
Dirofilariasis is an infection caused by the filarial nematode Dirofilaria. primarily causes pulmonary dirofilariasis, while subcutaneous dirofilariasis is usually caused by and but can rarely be caused by as well. Here we report a rare case where in a 26-year-old with a history of international travel presented with swelling over the nasal dorsum.

Lateral medullary syndrome/Wallenberg syndrome, is a neurological disorder occurring due to ischemia in the lateral part of medullary oblongata resulting in wide range of symptoms. Dysphagia is usually exhibited in severe and persistent form in LMS. Hence timely intervention is mandatory before the patient further worsens.

Materials And Methods: Longitudinal study was conducted in 2 tertiary referral centers. 1068 neonates were included, who were born to preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, and healthy mothers.
Digitally-enhanced technologies are set to transform every aspect of manufacturing. Networks of sensors that compute at the edge (streamlining information flow from devices and providing real-time local data analysis), and emerging Cloud Finite Element Analysis technologies yield data at unprecedented scales, both in terms of volume and precision, providing information on complex processes and systems that had previously been impractical. Cloud Finite Element Analysis technologies enable proactive data collection in a supply chain of, for example the metal forming industry, throughout the life cycle of a product or process, which presents revolutionary opportunities for the development and evaluation of digitally-enhanced lubricants, which requires a coherent research agenda involving the merging of tribological knowledge, manufacturing and data science.

A case study for a sandwich panel consisting of face layers from AA5754 aluminium alloy and a core layer from polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) was subsequently conducted, suggesting that the loading path of aluminium was linear and independent of the punch radius, while the risk for failure of PVDF increased with a decreasing radius and an increasing strain ratio. Therefore, the developed formability model would be conducive to the safety evaluation on the plastic forming and critical failure of composite sandwich panels.
