Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a common form of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis, which usually presents with spontaneously regressing skin lesions. Systemic involvement is rare and mostly seen in patients with multiple skin nodules. It can spontaneously regress, but sometimes systemic involvement can cause life-threatening symptoms and can be fatal. Herein, we report a case of congenital systemic JXG with multiple skin nodules, soft tissue and pulmonary involvement. She was successfully treated with chemotherapy according to Langerhans cell histiocytosis treatment protocol IV of the Histiocyte Society (LCH-IV).

Department of Cardiovascular Radiology & Endovascular Interventions, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, 110029, India.
We sought to evaluate the intracardiac morphology and associated cardiovascular anomalies in patients with double inlet right ventricle (DIRV) on multidetector CT angiography. A retrospective search of our departmental database was conducted from January 2014 to January 2023 to identify patients with a diagnosis of DIRV on CT angiography. The intracardiac anatomy and associated cardiovascular abnormalities were systematically evaluated.

Introduction: Congenital aniridia is increasingly recognized as part of a complex syndrome with numerous ocular developmental anomalies and non-ocular systemic manifestations. This requires comprehensive care and treatment of affected patients. Our purpose was to analyze systemic diseases in patients with congenital aniridia within the Homburg Aniridia Registry.

Article Synopsis
- Drug development for congenital toxoplasmosis is challenging due to high adverse effects and poor efficacy of first-line therapies; bumped kinase inhibitors (BKIs) like BKI-1748 may offer a new treatment option.
- In a study involving 19 pregnant sheep, those treated with BKI-1748 after infection showed lower fever and immunological responses compared to untreated counterparts.
- The treated group had a higher percentage of healthy lambs at delivery and showed no evidence of congenital transmission of the parasite, unlike the untreated group where parasite DNA was detectable.
