Article Synopsis
- Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM) is an autoimmune condition in children that causes inflammation in muscles and skin, and identifying specific autoantibodies can help classify its subtypes and predict outcomes.
- A case study describes a 5-year-old Moroccan boy with JDM who exhibited symptoms such as dysphagia, facial erythema, muscle weakness, and characteristic skin rashes, along with positive anti-SAE antibodies, a rare finding.
- Treatment involved high-dose methylprednisolone followed by a tapering dose of oral prednisone, highlighting the need for targeted therapies based on specific antibody presence in JDM.
Cleft palate-lateral synechiae syndrome (CPLSS) is an extremely rare congenital malformation syndrome with undetermined etiology, characterized by a cleft palate and lateral intraoral synechiae linking the free borders of the palate to the mouth floor. We report a case of a female neonate, admitted for suckling difficulties with a cleft lip and palate associated to multiple lateral intraoral synechiae. Resection of the synechiae allowed oral feeding.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFocal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is the morphologic description of a glomerular lesion which is "focal", meaning a few but not all of the total sampled glomeruli have and "segmental" solidification of the tuft that is an accumulation of extracellular matrix with obliteration of the capillary lumina (sclerosis). It represents 20% of nephrotic syndrome in children and adults. To study the role of epidemiology, clinical presentation, histology, and treatment in the prognosis of HSF child, we retrospectively analyzed 23 children with primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) hospitalized in pediatric nephrology unit of Children's Hospital Harrouchi Abderrahim, CHU Ibn Rochd Casablanca from January 2000 to December 2012.
