Esophageal carcinoma is an aggressive cancer with a poor therapeutic response and a significant risk of recurrence after radical resection. It usually metastasizes to the lung, bones, or liver. Unusual spread can be found in other organs, but only nine cases of pancreatic metastases have been reported in the Medline database.

To address this limitation, ecological tests, like the Baking Tray Test (BTT), have been developed. However, the original BTT identifies the presence of USN without providing information on its severity.

- Leptospirosis is a widespread bacterium that affects both humans and animals, typically causing mild infections, but in some cases, it can lead to severe conditions like Weil's disease, which involves liver issues and, rarely, complications such as cholecystitis.
- In a case study, a 66-year-old man with symptoms of abdominal pain, fever, and jaundice was initially diagnosed with acute calculous cholecystitis, but further investigation revealed signs of leptospirosis, leading to appropriate treatment before surgery.
- The study highlights that Weil's disease can imitate acute cholecystitis symptoms, emphasizing the need for careful diagnosis and the consideration of leptospirosis in patients with certain risk
Risk of autism spectrum disorder in children with infantile epileptic spasms syndrome: a retrospective study in a single center in Brazil.
J Pediatr (Rio J)
August 2024
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder and its possible correlations with clinical characteristics in patients with infantile epileptic spasms syndrome in a single center in Brazil.
Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study examined 53 children with the diagnosis of infantile epileptic spasms syndrome prior to an autism spectrum disorder assessment. Participants were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of autism spectrum disorder.
Background: Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS) is a rare neuroinflammatory disorder characterized by ataxia, opsoclonus, and myoclonus. Clinical diagnosis of OMS has been challenging; therefore, we sought to determine the clinical and treatment profiles of patients with OMS at the largest pediatric hospital in Latin America.
Methods: We analyzed the data of patients diagnosed with OMS between 2010 and 2020 at Pequeno Principe Hospital (Brazil) to determine the corresponding clinical profile more accurately.
