Article Synopsis
  • An infant girl developed widespread blisters and skin peeling, along with fever and cough, showing signs of growth and developmental delays.
  • Imaging revealed kidney abnormalities, and genetic testing indicated a deletion on chromosome 17 affecting the HNF1B gene.
  • Despite the potential diagnosis of Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome (SSSS), the child was effectively treated with antibiotics, highlighting an unusual case of 17q12 deletion syndrome with early kidney disease and pre-diabetes.

The interactions between fluid flow and structural components of collapsible tubes are representative of those in several physiological systems. Although extensively studied, there exists a lack of characterization of the three-dimensionality in the structural deformations of the tube and its influence on the flow field. This experimental study investigates the spatio-temporal relationship between 3D tube geometry and the downstream flow field under conditions of fully open, closed, and slamming-type oscillating regimes.

Article Synopsis
  • Clear cell myomelanocytic tumor (CCMMT) is a rare hepatic tumor and the least common variant within the perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) family, with limited documented cases.
  • The study highlights a specific case involving a 31-year-old woman who experienced abdominal symptoms, initially mistaken for focal nodular hyperplasia based on imaging.
  • Upon surgical examination, the tumor exhibited distinct histological features and specific biomarker expressions, leading to the diagnosis of CCMMT, shedding light on the diagnostic difficulties and providing a literature review for further context.

Interspecific hybridization has varied consequences for offspring fitness, with implications for the maintenance of species integrity. Hybrid vigour, when it occurs, can peak in first-generation (F1) hybrids and then decline in advanced-generation (F2+) hybrids. This hybrid breakdown, together with the processes affecting patterns of hybridization and hybrid fitness, determine the evolutionary stability of hybrid zones.
