Differential diagnosis of agents of chemical burns can be challenging in neonates, especially in absence of a clear history of the event. A wide variety of chemical agents, from acids to basics, can be involved. Massive chemical burns over 21% of the body surface of a four-day-old male neonate were observed.

Article Synopsis
- - Post-COVID-19 patients often experience symptoms like dyspnea and fatigue, which can be alleviated through structured rehabilitation, aiming to enhance their physical capacity and aid recovery after hospitalization.
- - The study involved 26 adults who underwent a 12-session outpatient cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program, incorporating moderate-intensity aerobic and resistance training twice weekly, assessing their exercise tolerance, lung function, and overall quality of life.
- - Results showed significant improvements, including an 18.62% increase in peak oxygen consumption, better exercise endurance in a walking test, enhanced lung function, and reduced fatigue, highlighting the positive impact of structured rehabilitation on post-COVID recovery.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify how clinical and demographic factors relate to shoulder function and satisfaction after subacromial balloon placement in patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears.
- It involved a prospective analysis of 51 patients over a follow-up period of 36 months, showing significant improvements in shoulder function (Constant-Murley scores) and high implant survival rates (87% at 3-4 years).
- Most patients reported high satisfaction levels, with 98% achieving clinically meaningful improvements in shoulder symptoms.
Isolated right atrial rupture after nonpenetrating blunt chest trauma is rare, and very few cases have been reported in the literature. Isolated right atrial rupture is a diagnostic challenge in these patients, who are mostly victims of motor vehicle collisions. The clinical presentation is heterogeneous and can vary depending on rupture location and size.
