Rationale: SAMS syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by midline facial clefting, skeletal anomalies, and other defects.
Salient Features: Among the craniofacial manifestations of SAMS syndrome is the presence of a median mandibular cleft (MMC). MMC is a rare occurrence and in this syndrome, it poses a complex challenge for both functional and aesthetic reasons. Patient.
Findings: This rare case report describes the successful correction of an MMC in an 18-month-old child diagnosed with SAMS syndrome.
Treatment: This report describes the presentation, diagnosis and treatment. The surgical intervention involved a meticulous, single stage, osseous reconstruction. The mechanism of MMC in SAMS syndrome is discussed.
Outcomes: Early intervention for MMC in SAMS syndrome patients can offer promising outcomes.

Background: Recommended treatment after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) involves high-intensity statin therapy to achieve the low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) target of<1.4mmol/L (European guidelines), but many patients discontinue statins because of real or perceived side-effects. Whether body mass index (BMI) influences statin intolerance remains unclear.

Background: Casualties of military conflicts suffer a multitude of injuries, and recent research has documented a significant number develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The present study undertakes a scoping review of research on the treatment of ARDS in combat casualties near the battlefield.
Methods: We review the extent of the current ARDS care, from intubation and mechanical ventilation (MV) to the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and how the respective echelons of care across the Military Health System (MHS) are involved in the care of these patients.
Article Synopsis
- Paroxysmal Nocturnal Haemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare disorder that is difficult to diagnose due to diverse symptoms and a lack of awareness, often resulting in misdiagnosis.
- This study explores the use of a machine learning model, specifically the XGBoost algorithm, to identify undiagnosed PNH patients using electronic health records from the UK, involving 131 PNH patients and over 593,000 controls.
- The model achieved a recall rate of 27% for PNH patients, with a specificity of 99.99% for controls, and indicated that nearly 1 in 5 flagged patients may need further investigation for PNH, highlighting key symptoms like aplastic anemia and panc

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate post COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) among healthcare workers in England and identify related risk factors.
- Data were collected through the NHS CHECK longitudinal study across four phases from April 2020 to 2023, focusing on HCWs' experiences and symptoms related to COVID-19.
- Out of 5248 participants, 33.6% experienced prolonged symptoms indicative of PCS, with key risk factors including direct patient contact, older age, female sex, pre-existing respiratory conditions, and mental health issues.

Article Synopsis
- Superficial angiomyxoma (SAM) is a rare, benign soft tissue tumor that tends to recur locally and is often found as a solitary growth, but multiple occurrences can indicate the Carney complex, a genetic syndrome with various organ impacts.
- Accurate diagnosis requires a thorough patient evaluation, including interviews, exams, and specific lab tests, especially for endocrine markers.
- Complete surgical excision is the recommended treatment due to the high recurrence risk, as highlighted by a case study of a 24-year-old female with SAM on her shoulder.
