Published: January 2012

If full-thickness mucosa, including the mucosal crypt, has been almost denuded, mucosa cannot regenerate as has been shown by animal models. The authors experienced an unusual mucosal regeneration exceed denuded bowel that occur in midgut volvulus of duration 2 days in a 6-day-old infant. Santulli's jejunostomy was performed using seriously denuded small bowel to prevent short bowel syndrome, despite the risks of leakage or stricture. Subsequently, stomal mucosa was fully regenerated when grossly identified 19 days after the second operation without any surgical complications.

Background: Low cardiorespiratory fitness predicts worse postoperative outcomes, exacerbated by age and frailty. Preoperative High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) improves cardiorespiratory fitness and postoperative outcomes but is challenging to implement in frailty due to perceived risks.

Purpose: The aim of this case report was to demonstrate feasibility of HIIT in a patient with frailty and multimorbidity.

Background: Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumours (ATRTs) are malignant central nervous system tumours, typically presenting in the posterior fossa of very young children. Prognosis remains poor despite current therapy, while tumorigenesis implicates both genomic and epigenetic dysregulation. Primary diffuse leptomeningeal (PDL) ATRT, characterised by the absence of an intraparenchymal mass lesion, is seldom reported but appears associated with a dismal outcome.

We describe a 23-year-old woman with erotomania as a symptom of complicated grief. The delusional disorder emerged after a breakup with her partner, during a period of complicated grief following the unexpected loss of her twin brother. The delusion potentially functioned as a protection against a recurrent depressive disorder.

Background And Methods: In March 2022, an outbreak of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection was identified in temperate south-eastern Australia, with detections in humans and animals. The unexpected emergence of JEV prompted a national public health response and a Communicable Disease Incident of National Significance was declared. JEV has previously only been identified in tropical north-eastern Australia in localised outbreaks.
