We report on four pediatric patients who presented with localized dermatitis in areas subject to repetitive friction due to their sitting positions. We propose that the cause of the eruption was irritant contact dermatitis due to frequently sitting in a crossed-leg sitting position, an entity for which we have coined the term pediatric positional sitting dermatitis (PPSD). The goal of this report is to raise clinicians' awareness of PPSD, which to our knowledge has not been previously described, and to discuss management of these patients.

Invasive meningococcal disease, caused by (), is a critical global health issue, necessitating swift and precise diagnostics for effective management and control. Here, we introduce a novel diagnostic assay, NM-RT-MCDA, that combines multiple cross displacement amplification (MCDA) with real-time fluorescence detection, targeting a specific gene region in the genome. The assay utilizes a primer set designed for high specificity and incorporates a fluorophore-quencher pair with a restriction endonuclease site for real-time monitoring.

In 2020, there was an estimated prevalence of more than 1.8 million adults with congenital heart disease (ACHDs) living in South America, and 677,000 in Central America and the Caribbean. The ACHD mortality is higher in developing countries, compared with developed countries, and it has been shown that concentrating this population in specialized ACHD units improves their survival and prognosis.
