The hospital management of infants who died suddenly has been facilitated in France by the ministerial note of 14 march 1986 which has made possible the development of the research in this field, with a multidisciplinary collaboration system co-ordinated by reference centers. The necropsic findings are variable, but in one out of three cases they establish a correlation between the lesions observed and the infant's death. Inflammatory lesions of the lung caused by infection, and aspiration of products from the digestive tract are particularly frequent. Necropsy is indispensable to confirm the diagnosis of unexplained sudden death and to exclude a malformation, especially when the parents wish to have another child.

Liver transplantation for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia: a retrospective analysis from Chinese experience.
Orphanet J Rare Dis
January 2025
Department of Critical Liver Diseases, Liver Research Center, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Background: Homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HoFH) increases risk of premature cardiovascular events and cardiac death. In severe cases of HoFH, clinical signs and symptoms cannot be controlled well by non-surgical treatments, liver transplantation (LT) currently represents the viable option.
Method: To assess the clinical efficacy, prognosis, and optimal timing of LT for HoFH, a retrospective analysis was conducted on the preoperative, surgical conditions, and postoperative follow-up of children who received an LT for HoFH at the Beijing Friendship Hospital over the period from December 2014 to August 2022.
Fatal Waterhouse-Friderichsen Syndrome caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae in a vaccinated adult with traumatic splenectomy: A case report.

Waterhouse-Friderichsen Syndrome (WFS) is a rare but life-threatening condition characterized by massive adrenal hemorrhage. WFS represents one of the features of the Overwhelming Post-Splenectomy Infection, which occurs any time after spleen removal and is recognized as the most serious complication in asplenic patients. We report a fatal case of WFS resulting from Streptococcus pneumoniae infection in a vaccinated and splenectomized patient.

Aneurysmal Coronary Artery Disease (ACAD) can occur as localized dilations of a segment of one or more coronary arteries or diffuse ectasia-type dilatations of one or more coronaries. Atherosclerosis remains the most common cause of these aneurysms, with Kawasaki Disease being implicated in the Asian population. We present a case of a 62-year-old Asian woman who dies suddenly with no prior symptoms.

We investigate the aging transition in networks of excitable and self-oscillatory units as the fraction of inherently excitable units increases. Two network topologies are considered: a scale-free network with weighted pairwise interactions and a two-dimensional simplicial complex with weighted scale-free pairwise and triadic interactions. Without triadic interactions, the aging transition from collective oscillations to oscillation death (inhomogeneous stationary states) can occur either suddenly or through an intermediate state of partial oscillation.
