AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence of oral inclusion cysts in newborns and their links to various factors like birth weight, prematurity, and maternal health among a sample of 411 mother-newborn pairs in Brazil.
- The findings revealed a 56.7% prevalence of inclusion cysts, with Epstein pearls being the most common type, particularly associated with low birth weight (LBW) and preterm infants.
- Additionally, Bohn's nodules were more found in newborns of mothers lacking welfare support, while dental lamina cysts were rare and not linked to any specific factors.
Article Abstract
To evaluate oral inclusion cysts in newborns and their association with birth weight, preterm birth, newborn health, maternal health, prenatal factors, and socio-economic factors.
The sample consisted of 411 pairs of mothers and their newborns born at a university hospital in Brazil. The oral inclusion cysts, diagnosed by clinical examination, were Epstein pearls, Bohn's nodules, and dental lamina cysts. Medical records and a questionnaire were used to collect data related to newborns and mothers. Data were analyzed using the chi-square, linear by linear, and Fisher's exact tests for bivariate analysis, while Poisson regression with robust variance was used for multivariate analysis (α =five percent).
The prevalence of inclusion cysts was 56.7 percent. A total of 42 (62.7 percent) low birth weight (LBW) newborns, 192 (56.0 percent) normal weight newborns, 38 (63.3 percent) preterm newborns, and 187 (56.7 percent) full-term newborn had inclusion cysts. Epstein pearls (n=164, 39.9 percent) were more prevalent and associated with prematurity ( =0.025), LBW newborns ( =0.033), and mothers who worked during pregnancy ( =0.019). Bohn's nodules (n=80, 19.9 percent) were more prevalent in newborns of mothers who did not receive welfare support ( =0.004). Dental lamina cysts occurred in 5.6 percent (N=23) of the sample and were not associated with independent variables.
Epstein pearls were more common in LBW and preterm infants.

Midline Anterior Neck Inclusion Cysts (MANICs) are rare congenital anomalies caused by improper embryonic fusion. These superficial benign lesions typically appear yellowish and cystic without deeper anatomic connections. We describe an 11-month-old boy with a stable, asymptomatic, yellow, elastic cystic lesion on the midline of the anterior neck, measuring 4 mm and present since shortly after birth.

Neurocysticercosis (NCC) has been classified as a neglected tropical disease by the World Health Organization (WHO), with the condition being regarded as the most significant parasitic disease affecting the nervous system. Hence, the aim of this study was to conduct a review of previously published case reports on this topic in order to ascertain whether there is an increasing trend of NCC worldwide and evaluate the cases that have been presented. After a comprehensive search of the Web of Science Core Collection using the keywords "neurocysticercosis" and "case reports", studies were selected by applying inclusion criteria.

Objective: To assess whether premenopausal women diagnosed with deep or ovarian endometriosis on transvaginal sonography (TVS) were more likely to suffer from dyspareunia and pelvic pain symptoms, and have a lower quality of life, compared to women without sonographically diagnosed deep or ovarian endometriosis.
Methods: This was a prospective, cross-sectional study carried out between February 2019 and October 2020 at the general gynecology clinic at University College London Hospital, London, UK. All premenopausal women aged 18-50 years, who were examined consecutively by a single experienced examiner and underwent a detailed TVS scan, were eligible for inclusion.

It is rare to find free floating fat droplets in the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) spaces of the brain. When fat droplets are seen in the CSF spaces, the most common cause is the rupture of a dermoid cyst. Dermoid cysts are congenital inclusion cysts that form during the neural tube closure between the third and fifth weeks of embryogenesis.

Purpose: We sought to evaluate the incidence, natural history, and management of cystic spinal lesions following myelomeningocele/myeloschisis closure.
Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective review of all patients who underwent myelomeningocele/myeloschisis closure from 2013 to 2018 with follow-up to 5 years old.
Results: We analyzed 100 fetal repairs and 81 postnatal closures from 305 total surgeries.
