AI Article Synopsis
- * Common symptoms of a black widow bite include pain, muscle cramps, high blood pressure, and rapid heartbeat, with initial treatment focusing on pain relief and sedation.
- * Although antivenom is typically not used for priapism, there are cases where it has been effective, including a reported case of a 3-year-old boy experiencing abdominal cramps and priapism after a black widow bite.*
Article Abstract
Priapism in children after a black widow spider bite is a rare phenomenon with only a few case reports noted in the literature. Black widow bites are commonly associated with pain, muscle cramping, hypertension, and tachycardia. Initial treatment includes pain control with opiate or opioid medications and benzodiazepines, with antivenom reserved for severe cases of envenomation manifested by uncontrolled pain or hypertension. Treatment with antivenom for priapism is not well described; however, it has been noted to resolve priapism in the few cases that have been reported. We present a case of a 3-year-old boy who was bitten by a black widow and presented with abdominal cramping and priapism.

The increasing demand for autonomous mobile robots in complex environments calls for efficient path-planning algorithms. Bio-inspired algorithms effectively address intricate optimization challenges, but their computational cost increases with the number of particles, which is great when implementing algorithms of high accuracy. To address such topics, this paper explores the application of the leader-based bat algorithm (LBBA), an enhancement of the traditional bat algorithm (BA).

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one of the complicated neurodevelopmental disorders that impacts the daily functioning and social interactions of individuals. It includes diverse symptoms and severity levels, making it challenging to diagnose and treat efficiently. Various deep learning (DL) based methods have been developed for diagnosing ASD, which rely heavily on behavioral assessment.

Article Synopsis
- Myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE) is a rare tumor, and the study aimed to investigate its epidemiological features and overall survival factors using data from the SEER database (2004-2015).
- The analysis involved 1,026 MPE cases, highlighting that incidence rates showed no significant trends over time, with higher rates in specific age groups and disparities based on race and gender.
- Key factors influencing overall survival included older age, being widowed, lack of surgery, and the impact of radiotherapy, emphasizing the need for further research to better understand these relationships.
