We characterize infections from blood and cerebrospinal fluid samples in a case series of people with human immunodeficiency virus and Chagas disease. We identify different infecting populations, highlighting the usefulness of real-time polymerase chain reaction for Chagas disease reactivation diagnosis and evaluation of treatment response.

TTC7A Variants Results in Gastrointestinal Defects and Immunodeficiency Syndrome: Case Series and Literature Review.
Clin Rev Allergy Immunol
January 2025
Department of Neonatal Surgery, Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, National Clinical Research Center for Child Health, Hangzhou, China.
Gastrointestinal Defects and Immunodeficiency Syndrome-1 (GIDID-1), caused by abnormalities in TTC7A, is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by multiple gastrointestinal malformations and immune deficiencies, often accompanied by inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This condition typically results in poor treatment outcomes and is usually fatal in early infancy. This paper examined the genetic abnormalities and clinical features of GIDID by analyzing data from three children and one fetus with gastrointestinal dysfunction and immune deficiency associated with TTC7A abnormalities at our hospital, and reviewed reported cases worldwide.

Childs Nerv Syst
January 2025
Department of Neurological Surgery, Children's Hospital, Goiânia, Brazil.
Background: Myelomeningocele (MMC) is the most common type of congenital spinal malformation, typically requiring surgical intervention. While prenatal repair is increasingly favored, postnatal repair remains the standard in many settings. This study aims to evaluate the antibiotics prescribed to neonates with MMC and their correlation with central nervous system (CNS) infection rates following postnatal surgical repair.

Laboratorium für Organische Chemie, Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences, ETH Zürich, Zürich 8093, Switzerland.
We report spectroscopic and spectrometric experiments that probe the London dispersion interaction between -butyl substituents in three series of covalently linked, protonated -pyridines in the gas phase. Molecular ions in the three test series, along with several reference molecules for control, were electrosprayed from solution into the gas phase and then probed by infrared multiphoton dissociation spectroscopy and trapped ion mobility spectrometry. The observed N-H stretching frequencies provided an experimental readout diagnostic of the ground-state geometry of each ion, which could be furthermore compared to a second, independent structural readout via the collision cross section.

Urol Res Pract
January 2025
Department of Urology, University of Health Sciences, Dr. Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, Türkiye.
Objective: Laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery (NSS) can be performed by mainly 2 methods, offclamp or on-clamp. Continuous bleeding during the off-clamp method may impair the clear visualization of the border between the tumor and parenchyma, even though it is done safely in experienced hands. Therefore, some surgical modifications may be needed during mass excision and renorraphy.

Ophthalmic Physiol Opt
January 2025
New England College of Optometry, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Purpose: Alternative non-standard paediatric visual field (VF) tests have been developed to address the challenges associated with standard approaches. However, diagnostic accuracy of these new VF tests has not yet been rigorously evaluated. This systematic review aims to explore diagnostic accuracy and feasibility of non-standard VF tests in paediatric patients.
