A 3-year-old boy presented with tumors in the adrenal gland and the right orbit, and was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. After chemotherapy, the tumors were resected and the pathological diagnoses of ganglioneuroblastoma in the adrenal gland and ganglioneuroma in the orbit were made. The tumor relapsed at the intracranial dura mater 21 years after the initial diagnosis, and was diagnosed as ganglioneuroma from a biopsied sample. This case is very unique in that ganglioneuroma matured from ganglioneuroblastoma or neuroblastoma had the late recurrence with 21 years of tumor dormancy.

Background: Minimally invasive ventral rectopexy has widely become the preferred prolapse procedure. However there have been recent concerns regarding the safety of permanent synthetic mesh in the pelvis. Biologic grafts have also been commonly used as an alternative prosthesis, but data on their safety and the longevity of the prolapse repair have been lacking.

Background: Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) frequently occur in the acute phase of myocarditis. Possible arrhythmic recurrences and the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in this setting are reasons for concern, and limited data have been published to guide clinical management of these patients. The aim of the present paper is to report the incidence of major arrhythmic events, defined as sustained VA, SCD and appropriate implantable cardiac-defibrillator (ICD) treatment, in patients with acute myocarditis and ventricular arrhythmic phenotype.

Department of Women & Children's Health, King's College London, London, UK.
Background: Recurrent early pregnancy loss [rEPL] is a traumatic experience, marked by feelings such as grief and depression, and often anxiety. Despite this, the psychological consequences of rEPL are often overlooked, particularly when considering future reproductive health or approaching subsequent pregnancies. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic led to significant reconfiguration of maternity care and a negative impact on the perinatal experience, but the specific impact on women's experience of rEPL has yet to be explored.
