We report a case exhibiting the coexistence of anterior and posterior segment pathology in the same eye secondary to a congenital disorder of glycosylation resulting from a DPAGT1 gene mutation. This case details a novel gene mutation in a male infant found to have bilateral congenital cataracts, removed at 6 and 7 weeks of life, only to uncover bilateral retinal and optic atrophy. Our report highlights issues of surgical timing for syndrome-related pediatric cataracts, given the risks related to secondary glaucoma versus deprivation amblyopia, in an infant born with both cataracts and vision-limiting posterior segment pathology.

Correlation between medial meniscus degenerative tears and medial meniscus extrusion and dynamics using ultrasonography.
J Orthop Sci
January 2025
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Graduate School of Medical Science Kanazawa University, 13-1 Takara-machi, Kanazawa-city, 920-8641, Japan.
Background: Evaluating the correlation between degenerative meniscus tears and medial meniscus extrusion is necessary to determine the appropriate treatment plan for early-stage knee osteoarthritis. This study evaluated the relationship between degenerative meniscal tears and medial meniscus extrusion in early-stage knee osteoarthritis by using ultrasonography.
Methods: A total of 132 knees from 123 patients with early-stage knee osteoarthritis were evaluated retrospectively.
TEER for SAM of the Mitral Valve and Flail Posterior Mitral Leaflet: 1-Clip Solution.
JACC Case Rep

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is approved for patients with symptomatic severe mitral regurgitation (MR) who are deemed inoperable or at high surgical risk with life expectancy of more than 1 year, but has also been used off-label in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) for symptomatic relief who are not candidates for septal reduction therapy. An 83-year-old woman with decompensated heart failure was found to have HOCM with systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve and a large P2 flail segment with ruptured cords. TEER was performed resulting in mild MR and resolution of the prior left ventricular outflow tract gradient.

Department of Pediatrics, Division of Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA.
Background: Severe neonatal inflammatory conditions in very preterm infants (VPT: <32 weeks gestational age, GA) are linked to adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Differences in white matter (WM) microstructure of the corpus callosum (CC) have been observed at age 6 in VPT children with a history of severe neonatal inflammation. The goal of this study was to determine whether these CC differences can be detected at term-equivalent age using diffusion MRI (dMRI), and whether neonatal inflammation is associated with altered WM in additional tracts implicated in the encephalopathy of prematurity.

The pathogenesis of type I Chiari malformation (CIM) is complex and remains unclear. The theory of posterior cranial fossa incompatibility has gained widespread acceptance in recent years. In the patients with CIM combined with syringomyelia, scoliosis is a common occurrence, with severe cases often leading to complications that necessitate surgical intervention.

Department of Pediatrics, Division of Emergency Medicine, University of Texas Southwestern, Children's Medical Center, Dallas, TX, USA.
Background: Acute bronchiolitis (AB) is the most common lower respiratory tract infection in infants. Clinician diagnosis and management vary due to limited objective assessment tools. Point-of-care lung ultrasound (LUS) offers a promising diagnostic and prognostic tool in the emergency department (ED), however, the time to perform LUS is of concern in the emergency setting.
