Test the therapeutic efficacy of Sapylin in resolving persistent Congenital Chylothorax (CC) in four infants who failed to respond to conservative medical therapy including Erythromycin and/or Octreotide management. All cases were cured and have no adverse reactions during follow-up. The result shows Sapylin is effective in reducing chylous production.

Objective: This study aims to determine the outcomes of probing and external dacryocystorhinostomy (exDCR) for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (cNLDO) and the factors influencing the success rates in pediatric cNLDO.
Design: A retrospective sample collection was conducted at the oculoplastic referral center over 10 years (January 2012 to December 2022) for cNLDO patients who had undergone probing or exDCR.
Methodology: Data were retrospectively reviewed for patients aged ≤18 years who underwent probing or exDCR.

Eisenmenger syndrome (ES) is a rare congenital heart disease (CHD) that occurs in persons with large intracardiac anatomical defects which may go undetected for many years, consequently results in reduced life expectancies and high mortality in the third and fourth decade of life. Pregnancy in patients with CHD and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is presaged with challenges, and perioperative management of such cases remains a topic of debate. Our case had both, atypical presentation, not diagnosed until her third trimester of third pregnancy and a quick progression to a severe stage with PAH and CorPulmonale.

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) has been reported as a prevalent endocrine disorder in newborns. Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have been widely detected in humans and can influence endocrine function, especially thyroid function, and neonates as a susceptible population may be more prone to suffer from CH through exposure to various EDCs. In this study, the concentrations and composition profiles of several typical EDCs were determined in 266 serum samples collected from newborns with (n = 136) and without CH (n = 130) in Beijing, China from 2018 to 2020.

Introduction: The persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly that arises when the embryonic axial artery fails to regress, potentially leading to serious complications such as limb ischemia.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 47-year-old woman with a history of essential hypertension and recent hormonal treatment for uterine fibroids. She developed acute limb ischemia due to bilateral PSA thrombosis, which was confirmed through comprehensive imaging.
