Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) is a rare, progressive lysosomal storage disorder resulting from a deficiency in acid sphingomyelinase, leading to sphingomyelin accumulation and multi-organ damage. ASMD presents a broad phenotypic spectrum with a continuum of severity, making it challenging to predict the phenotype in very young children and differentiate between acute and chronic neurovisceral disease. No disease-specific treatments existed for ASMD.

Blueberry muffin baby syndrome is a condition initially described in 1960 to classify the cutaneous manifestations of newborns with rubella. Subsequently, congenital diseases related to TORCH syndrome and blood dyscrasias have been included under this syndrome. Among the conditions associated with this syndrome is Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, an uncommon condition with variable involvement of one or more organs, often affecting the skin.

Background: Visceral leishmaniasis is endemic in Ethiopia and caused by Leishmania donovani. Although the disease manifests with significant clinical variability, a substantial number of individuals are asymptomatic. These individuals can serve as reservoirs, complicating control efforts.

Introduction: Although abdominal organ damage due to motor vehicle accident is often evident immediately after the injury and urgent operation is performed, it has been reported that minor injuries such as hollow viscus may become apparent during the course of treatment and require urgent surgery.
Case Report: The Authors present the case of a 42-year-old female who developed peritonitis immediately after undergoing surgery for thoracolumbar fracture-dislocation caused by a traffic accident. The patient exhibited no abdominal symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, or abdominal wall rigidity, and had no difficulty with oral intake preoperatively.

Introduction: Adverse experiences leading to physiological disruptions (stress) in early life produce cascade effects on various biological systems, including the endocrine and metabolic systems, which, in turn, shape the developing skeletal system. To evaluate the effects of stress on adipose and skeletal tissues, we examine the relationship between skeletal indicators of stress (porotic hyperostosis [PH] and cribra orbitalia [CO]), bone mineral density (BMD), vertebral neural canal (VNC) diameters, and adipose tissue distribution in a contemporary pediatric autopsy sample.
Methods: Data is from 702 (409 males, 293 females) individuals from a pediatric (0.
