A young female patient presented with complaints of breathlessness and palpitations since 2 years. On clinical examination, there was a loud continuous murmur at the right sternal border.Transthoracic echocardiography and colour Doppler showed a tunnel-like structure originating from the aneurysmal right coronary sinus and opening into the right atrium with left to right shunt. Coronary angiography revealed a large tunnel beginning in right coronary sinus and terminating in the right atrium and right coronary artery (RCA) was seen originating from the tunnel. Cardiac catheterisation revealed normal pulmonary artery pressure. CT and 3D-reconstructed images delineated the extracardiac course of the tunnel.Various treatment modalities including percutaneous transcatheter approach and surgical treatment were taken into consideration, but because of the close proximity of RCA from the tunnel opening, surgical closure was preferred.

Background: Accurate identification of Fusarium species requires molecular identification. Treating fusariosis is challenging due to widespread antifungal resistance, high rates of treatment failure, and insufficient information relating antifungal susceptibility to the clinical outcome. Despite recent outbreaks in Mexico, there is limited information on epidemiology and antifungal susceptibility testing (AST).

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a devastating cause of death and disability. Outcomes following TBI have been extensively studied; however, less attention has been given to identifying characteristics of individuals who have a favorable outcome following severe TBI. We conducted a retrospective analysis of a database containing information on TBI patients admitted to a level 1 trauma center between 2015 and 2021.

Sebaceous free fatty acids are metabolized by multiple skin microbes into bioactive lipid mediators termed oxylipins. This study investigated correlations between skin oxylipins and microbes on the superficial skin of pre-pubescent children (N = 36) and adults (N = 100), including pre- (N = 25) and post-menopausal females (N = 25). Lipidomics and metagenomics revealed that Malassezia restricta positively correlated with the oxylipin 9,10-DiHOME on adult skin and negatively correlated with its precursor, 9,10-EpOME, on pre-pubescent skin.

Cheek swabs, heterogeneous samples consisting primarily of buccal epithelial cells, are widely used in pediatric DNA methylation studies and biomarker creation. However, the decrease in buccal proportion with age in adults remains unexamined in childhood. We analyzed cheek swabs from 4626 typically developing children 2-months to 20-years-old.
