Medulloblastoma (MB) is an aggressive pediatric brain tumor with distinct molecular heterogeneity. Identifying subtype-specific signatures within Group 3 and Group 4 remains challenging due to shared cytogenetic alterations and limitations of conventional differential gene expression analysis. To uncover the underlying molecular signatures and hidden regulators, we used the Cavalli transcriptomic profile of 470 Group 3 and Group 4 MB patients to reconstruct subtype-specific regulatory networks.

Aim: To assess the diagnostic potential of a noncoronary-dedicated pre-TAVR CT angiography (CTA) conducted as a prospective ECG-gated scan without premedication and standard cardiac reconstructions in evaluating bystander coronary artery disease (CAD) against invasive coronary angiography (ICA) as the gold standard.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 232 patients who underwent both CTA and ICA as part of their pre-TAVR evaluation. Exclusion criteria included prior stent, pacemaker, coronary artery bypass, or valve surgery.

Background: Esophageal atresia is one of the most common life-threatening congenital malformations and is defined as an interruption in the continuity of the esophagus with or without fistula to the trachea or bronchi. Definitive treatment is surgical ligation of the fistula if present and esophageal end-to-end anastomosis of the two pouches, thereby reconstructing the continuity of the esophagus. During this procedure, the surgeon may choose to either ligate or preserve the azygos vein, a major draining vein for the esophagus and surrounding structures, but no definitive consensus on the matter exists.

Among repairs for ventriculoarterial discordance, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary stenosis, aortic root translocation (Nikaidoh operation) offers the most anatomic result. With a diminutive pulmonary annulus or hypoplastic left ventricular outflow tract, the distance gained posteriorly with aortic translocation is negligible. We developed the "hemi-Nikaidoh" procedure as an alternative.

Aorticopulmonary paragangliomas are exceedingly rare tumors in pediatric populations. Complete surgical resection is the only curative treatment. However, resection is challenging due to the vascularity of paragangliomas and their close relationship with the great vessels.
