Increased tongue-palate contact for perceptually acceptable alveolar stops has been observed in children with speech sound disorders (SSD). This is a retrospective study that further investigated this issue by using quantitative measures to compare the target alveolar stops /t/, /d/ and /n/ produced in words by nine children with SSD (20 tokens of /t/, 13 /d/ and 11 /n/) to those produced by eight typical children (32 /t/, 24 /d/ and 16 /n/). The results showed that children with SSD had significantly higher percent contact than the typical children for target /t/; the difference for /d/ and /n/ was not significant. Children with SSD generally showed more contact in the posterior central area of the palate than the typical children. The results suggested that broader tongue-palate contact is a general articulatory feature for children with SSD and its differential effect on error perception might be related to the different articulatory requirements.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) plays a major part in causing lower respiratory tract infections in younger populations, especially in infants and pediatric patients, causing a higher rate of morbidity and mortality in the respective population, affecting 60% of the population globally. Typically, identifying the virus in the patient's respiratory secretions is important for laboratory validation of a clinically suspected RSV infection. Unfortunately, the only available preventive measure to lower the incidence for infants who are at high risk of RSV-induced hospitalization is palivizumab prophylaxis.

Musical hallucinations (MH) represent a rare and complex auditory phenomenon where individuals perceive music without external stimuli. This case study explores auditory Charles Bonnet syndrome (ACBS) in a 51-year-old male with a history of bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The patient reported hearing recognizable prayer chants, initially perceived as external sounds from a nearby temple.

Laboratories with a well-established diagnostic stewardship program for culture and the antimicrobial susceptibility test (C-AST) play a key role in guiding clinicians to institute specific targeted therapy. Blood culture is one of the most critical investigations performed at a microbiology laboratory. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a robust diagnostic stewardship model for the blood culture laboratory division.
