AI Article Synopsis
- The case discusses a rare heart condition where the right atrial appendages are positioned unusually to the left, discovered in a child at a hospital in Sonora.
- This anomaly is linked to more complex heart defects, including the absence of the right atrioventricular connection and transposition of the great arteries.
- Although two-dimensional echocardiograms typically diagnose such conditions, this case was identified incidentally during surgery or autopsy, highlighting the importance of timely diagnosis for treatment strategies.
Article Abstract
We present the first case of left juxtaposition of the right atrial appendages that has been seen at the Children's Hospital of the state of Sonora. This anomaly was associated with a complex congenital heart defect, i.e. absence of the right atrioventricular connection and transposition of the great arteries. The two-dimensional echocardiogram is the usual study to reach a clinical diagnoses, but it may also be an incidental of finding during surgery or during autopsy, in ocurred in our case. Its timely diagnosis may have implications in the surgical treatment and in therapeutic cardiac catheterization.

Article Synopsis
- Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is divided into pseudo-MAD (appears only during systole) and true-MAD (appears in both systole and diastole).
- A study of 290 patients indicated that 50% had MAD, with 35% classified as true-MAD and 16% as pseudo-MAD.
- The presence and extent of MAD were higher in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP), particularly in pseudo-MAD cases, and the inferior

Article Synopsis
- * A case is presented involving a 2-year-old Chinese girl with multiple heart defects who had recurrent lung infections and was diagnosed with right juxtaposition of the left atrial appendage via enhanced computed tomography.
- * Awareness and accurate imaging techniques are essential for diagnosing this anomaly, as it often accompanies complex heart conditions and can complicate surgical procedures if not properly recognized.

The Hem-o-lok Weck clip is part of a polymer locking ligation system often employed for hemostasis in surgical practices. Its use is routine in a wide array of surgical subspecialties. Surgeons have limited options in removing these clips when they are aberrantly positioned.

White matter lacks the kind of plasticity that is present in the cortex, and subcortical injuries often result in permanent neurological deficits. Because cortical regions share common subcortical nuclei, creating new intergyral connections may allow for the bypass of subcortical damage. In this manuscript, a surgical interhemispheric bridge is created in mice, providing a model for an intercortical transpial bypass.

Collision tumors are rare neoplasms displaying two distinct cell populations developing in juxtaposition to one another without areas of intermingling. There are currently no guidelines for the recommended treatment for such rare collision cases. We herein report a unique case of a 45-year-old female who presented with a left-sided palpable inguinal lymph node.
