Discordance between MR enterography and endoscopic detection of Crohn's disease ileal strictures: evidence to inform recommendations.
Abdom Radiol (NY)
December 2024
Mayo Clinic, Rochester, USA.
Purpose: To evaluate correlation between terminal ileal (TI) stricture diagnosis at MR enterography (MRE) and ileocolonoscopy (IC) in patients with Crohn's disease (CD).
Methods: One hundred and four patients with CD (51% females; 41 ± 15 years) underwent IC and MRE within 3 months in this retrospective case-control study. Positive cases had TI strictures diagnosed by endoscopy (n = 35); or MRE (threshold small bowel dilation ≥ 3cm; n = 34).
Mastoid Obliteration With Freeze-Dried Bone Allograft in Canal Wall Down Tympanoplasty: Description of a Novel Technique and Case Report.
Case Rep Surg
October 2024
Section of Otorhinolaryngology, Department of Neurosciences, University of Padova, Padova, Italy.
Mastoid obliteration can be performed after canal wall down (CWD) mastoidectomy with various materials. Homologous bone tissue harvested from cadaver donor represents a feasible option with advantages. The purpose of the study is to describe the case of a patient diagnosed with middle ear cholesteatoma treated with mastoidectomy of the CWD and mastoid obliteration with homologous freeze-dried corticocancellous bone particulate in the Cittadella Hospital Ear, Nose, Throat (ENT) unit.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA Rare Case of -Associated Lymphopenia Revealed by Newborn Screening Using TREC.
Int J Mol Sci
October 2024
Research Centre for Medical Genetics, 115522 Moscow, Russia.
Article Synopsis
- A male newborn was found to have low TREC values, indicating T cell lymphopenia, and genetic testing revealed a mutation linked to Ectrodactyly-Ectodermal Dysplasia-Cleft lip/palate syndrome (EEC).
- This case underscores the importance of further research on the immune system issues related to mutations in the TP63 gene, suggesting that patients with such mutations should undergo thorough immunological assessments.
Case report: Artificial thymic organoids facilitate clinical decisions for a patient with a variant and severe persistent T cell lymphopenia.
Front Immunol
October 2024
Division of Immunology, Department of Pediatrics, University of Washington and Seattle Children's Hospital, Seattle, WA, United States.
Article Synopsis
- Pathogenic variants in a specific transcription factor are linked to syndromes like EEC and AEC, and this case report presents an infant with severe T cell lymphopenia, detected during newborn screening.
- Flow cytometry revealed low levels of CD4+ and almost no CD8+ T cells, while the B and NK cell levels were normal; further genetic analysis identified a particular variant in the transcription factor.
- Using an artificial thymic organoid system, researchers found that T cell differentiation occurred, implying a thymic defect, leading to the patient receiving an allogenic cultured thymus tissue implant, which showed promising signs of T cell development after 9 months.
Peripheral giant cell granuloma in a child with ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-cleft lip/palate syndrome: a case report.
BMC Oral Health
August 2024
Faculty of Dental Sciences, Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India.
Article Synopsis
- - Ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-cleft lip/palate (EEC) syndrome affects ectodermal and mesodermal tissues, leading to issues like split hands/feet, ectodermal dysplasia, and orofacial clefting, requiring a multidisciplinary treatment approach.
- - A case study details a young child with EEC syndrome who developed a peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) in the lower jaw, which was surgically removed and followed up for 24 months with no recurrence.
- - The findings emphasize the crucial role of dentists in diagnosing and managing oral health issues associated with EEC syndrome.
