Ectopic pancreatic tissue in the gallbladder: A rare incidental finding in a cholecystectomy specimen - A case report.

Introduction: Ectopic pancreatic tissue (EPT) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of pancreatic tissue in an abnormal location, separate from the pancreas, without any anatomical or vascular connection to it. This anomaly is often an incidental finding during operation or autopsy. This peculiarity poses clinical and radiological challenges for surgeons, particularly during laparoscopic or open procedures.

Article Synopsis
- Recent research into Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) suggests that metabolic acidosis and sepsis are significant factors, challenging the traditional brain-centered theories that have dominated the field for decades.
- Analysis of various studies indicates that infections might play a crucial role, as many SIDS risk factors are tied to infection, which could lead to organ failure and respiratory issues in infants.
- The paper advocates for including specific metabolic tests (like pH and bicarbonate levels) in autopsies of unexpected child deaths to better understand the underlying causes of SIDS.
Autopsy characteristics of deaths due to pulmonary thromboembolism in northern and western denmark: a 10-year retrospective study.

Article Synopsis
- * Out of 3,572 autopsies, only 58 (1.6%) had PTE as the main cause of death, which was much lower than the 0.3% recorded in the national death registry during the same period.
- * The findings highlighted obesity as a significant risk factor, with a mean BMI of 32.7 among decedents, and emphasized the critical role of forensic autopsies in accurate cause of death determination.
Raphe and ventrolateral medulla proteomics in sudden unexplained death in childhood with febrile seizure history.

Sudden unexplained death in childhood (SUDC) is death of a child ≥ 12 months old that is unexplained after autopsy and detailed analyses. Among SUDC cases, ~ 30% have febrile seizure (FS) history, versus 2-5% in the general population. SUDC cases share features with sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), in which brainstem autonomic dysfunction is implicated.

Hippocampal dentate gyral dysplasia is well-described in temporal lobe epilepsy and may be a risk factor for sudden, unexpected death in several populations: infants (sudden infant death syndrome [SIDS], sudden unexpected infant death [SUID]), toddlers (sudden unexpected death of a child [SUDC]), and epileptics (sudden unexpected death in epilepsy [SUDEP]). We examined reports and histopathological slides from autopsies performed at our institution from 2008 through 2016 to determine whether the presence or absence of any of the described forms of such dysplasias (duplications, hyperconvolutions, and granule cell dispersion, including bilamination), correlated with the causes of death. From well over 4000 autopsies, we identified 949 autopsies with a neuropathology examination by a neuropathologist.
