Background: Mirror syndrome (MS) is a rare obstetric condition usually defined as the development of maternal edema in association with fetal hydrops. The pathogenesis of MS remains unclear and may be misdiagnosed as pre-eclampsia.
Case Presentation: We report a case series of MS in which fetal therapy (intrauterine blood transfusion and pleuroamniotic shunt) resulted in fetal as well as maternal favourable course with complete resolution of the condition in both mother and fetus.
Conclusions: Our case series add new evidence to support that early diagnosis of MS followed by fetal therapy and clinical maternal support are critical for a good outcome.

Purpose: Perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a significant cause of neonatal brain injury. Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the standard treatment for term neonates, but its safety and efficacy in neonates < 36 weeks gestational age (GA) remains unclear. This case series aimed to evaluate the outcomes of preterm infants with HIE treated with TH.

Study Objectives: Here we report our experience treating patients with narcolepsy using benzodiazepine receptor agonists (BzRA), zolpidem (Zol) or eszopiclone (Esz) taken at bedtime for both excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and cataplexy.
Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 53 patients diagnosed with narcolepsy, between 2002 and 2023. Twenty-three patients, 8 with type1 (NT1), 13 with type 2 (NT2) and 2 with secondary narcolepsy, were treated with BzRA's (20 Zol and 3 Esz).

Background: Extra-articular but severely comminuted distal basal fractures of the proximal phalanx (PP) are rarely reported. Therefore, the aim of this study was to achieve proper union and desirable outcomes using low-profile locking plates/screws. We introduced our own surgical approach and reported the clinical/radiographic outcomes via retrospective case series.
