We report a rare case of Holter monitoring documenting the onset of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy in a 70-year-old woman. The patient experienced sudden chest discomfort after a quarrel in her hospital stay. Follow-up echocardiography on day 22 revealed a marked improvement of left ventricular apical akinesis. Angiographic examination at discharge showed neither coronary artery disease nor left ventricular asynergy.

Externalizing traits and behaviors are broadly defined by impairments in self-regulation and impulse control that typically begin in childhood and adolescence. Externalizing behaviors, traits, and symptoms span a range of traditional psychiatric diagnostic categories. In this study, we sought to generate an algorithm that could reliably identify transdiagnostic childhood-onset externalizing cases and controls within a university hospital electronic health record (EHR) database.

Background: Cervical spine pyogenic infection (CSPI) is a rare and challenging form of spinal infection that is typically caused by pyogenic bacteria and primarily affects the cervical vertebral bodies and surrounding tissues. Given its nonspecific symptoms, such as fever and neck pain, early diagnosis is crucial to prevent severe complications, including spinal cord injury. We report a previously unreported case of acute CSPI arising from chronic paronychia, exploring its diagnostic and therapeutic challenges through a review of the current literature.

Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), a rare pediatric soft tissue neoplasm, predominantly develops in late childhood and adolescence with no discernible gender bias. Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) stems from mesenchymal cells and may develop most frequently in the trunk, extremities, and head/neck areas, while occurrences in the pelvic cavity are less frequent. The manifestation is typically characterized by a high rate of aggressive metastasis and a poor overall survival prognosis.
