Intraosseous (IO) access offers a fast and reliable route for administration of fluids and drugs when intravenous (IV) accesses like umbilical, peripheral, or peripherally inserted central lines fail in critically ill neonates. Several medications can be successfully administered via the IO route, however only limited information is available regarding IO administration of antiviral agents.We present the case of a 2-week-old neonate, admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) due to suspected meningitis, who received acyclovir through IO infusion after the venous access was lost and a new one could not be established. No complications were reported within 12 months of follow up.This report highlights the feasibility of IO acyclovir infusion when IV accesses fail in a critically ill neonate.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a hereditary disease characterized by progressive vision loss ultimately leading to blindness. This condition is initiated by mutations in genes expressed in retinal cells, resulting in the degeneration of rod photoreceptors, which is subsequently followed by the loss of cone photoreceptors. Mutations in various genes expressed in the retina are associated with RP.

Is the Timing of Eating Relevant for Weight Loss?

The potential influence of the timing of eating on body weight regulation in humans has attracted substantial research interest. This review aims to critically evaluate the evidence on timed eating for weight loss, considering energetic and behavioural components to the timing of eating in humans. It has been hypothesised that timed eating interventions may alter energy balance in favour of weight loss by enhancing energy expenditure, specifically the thermic effect of food.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is a prevalent primary malignant bone tumor, typically managed through a combination of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgical interventions. Recent advancements in early detection and the use of novel chemotherapeutic agents have significantly improved the 5-year survival rate of OS patients. However, some patients fail to achieve the desired treatment outcomes despite undergoing intensive chemotherapy and surgicals procedures, with chemotherapy resistance emerging as a critical factor contributing to therapeutic failure in OS.

Syphilis, an infection caused by , is well known for its ability to mimic other diseases across various organ systems, complicating timely diagnosis. Ocular syphilis, though rare, is a severe manifestation that can closely resemble other eye conditions, making early identification challenging. When conventional treatments fail to improve symptoms, considering syphilis in the differential diagnosis becomes crucial to avoid further complications.
