Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is the most common type of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis occurring predominantly in infants and children. Typical lesions are asymptomatic red-yellow papules and nodules on the scalp or in the axillae or groins. Multiple lesions are more common in children than in adults. A 2-year old girl presented with approximately 20 red-brown lesions, leading to the diagnosis of disseminated JXG. Internal involvement was excluded. Spontaneous regression occurred over 6 months of follow-up. A wait-and-see strategy is recommended for cutaneous JXG.

Plasmin, the final product of fibrinolysis, is a broad-spectrum serine protease that degrades extracellular matrix (ECM) components, a function exploited by multiple pathogens for dissemination purposes. The trematode Fasciola hepatica is the leading cause of fasciolosis, a major disease of livestock and an emerging zoonosis in humans. Infection success depends on the ability of F.

Objectives: In recent years, juvenile delinquency has continued to occur at a high rate, necessitating attention to its criminal psychological process and underlying risk factors.
Methods: This study acquired psychological review data from 97 juvenile delinquents in China. Utilizing qualitative analysis, we delved into the psychological processes and risk factors that contribute to juvenile delinquency, aiming to reveal the psychological mechanisms involved.
Patient preferences for drug therapy in inflammatory arthritis: protocol for a living systematic review and evidence map to inform clinical practice guidelines.

Introduction: The pharmacological management of inflammatory arthritis often requires choices that involve trade-offs between benefits, risks and other attributes such as administration route, frequency and cost. This living systematic review aims to inform international clinical guidelines on inflammatory arthritis by creating an evidence map of patient preference studies concerning the trade-offs in pharmacological management of inflammatory arthritis.
Methods And Analysis: We will include published and peer-reviewed full-text studies in any language that quantitatively assess preferences of patients for the pharmacological management of inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis).

The Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemic elicited a rapid commitment to the development of animal models for ZIKV research. Non-human primates (NHPs) and mice have made significant contributions to this research, but NHPs are expensive, have a long gestation period, and are available only in small numbers; non-genetically modified mice are resistant to infection. To address these deficiencies, we have established the laboratory opossum, , as a small animal model that complements the mouse and monkey models.

Background: Infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We assessed the incidence and risk factors for major infections in juvenile SLE.
Methods: A retrospective review of 225 patients of juvenile SLE (ACR 1997 criteria) with age <18 years visiting the rheumatology clinic at a single centre between 2000 to 2020 was done from case records and the hospital electronic health records.
