Preleukaemia has been identified as a clonal haemopathy in which progression to acute leukaemia involves conservation of the preleukaemic karyotype in the blast cells or the development of new abnormalities superimposed on the original clone. In this report, a case of childhood preleukaemia is presented in which two cytogenetically distinct clones developed over 2 years in a dysplastic marrow that was initially karyotypically normal. One clone with 47 chromosomes (47,XY,+21), disappeared without therapy. Predominance of the cytogenetically abnormal clone, 45,XY,-12,-17,t(12;17)(p11;q11) was associated with the development of acute myelogenous leukaemia and myelofibrosis. The development of independent clonal abnormalities in the unstable preleukaemic marrow may occur more commonly than has been previously recognized. Implications of the progression of the karyotypic abnormalities are discussed.

Reoperations as an Outcome Indicator for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip Treated at Walking Age.

Background: Reoperation is a major adverse event following surgical treatment but has yet to be used as a primary outcome measure in population studies to assess current treatments for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The purpose of the present study was to explore the risk factors associated with reoperations following procedures under anesthesia ("operations") for DDH in patients between the ages of 1 and 3.00 years, with the goal of deriving treatment recommendations.

ConspectusThe Mannich reaction, involving the nucleophilic addition of an enol(ate) intermediate to an imine or iminium ion, is one of the most widely used synthetic methods for the synthesis of β-amino carbonyl compounds. Nevertheless, the homo-Mannich reaction, which utilizes a homoenolate intermediate as the nucleophilic partner and provides straightforward access to the valuable γ-amino carbonyl compounds, remains underexplored. This can be largely attributed to the difficulties in generation and manipulation of the homoenolate species, despite various homoenolate equivalents that have been developed.

Carbon coating on SiO surface is crucial for enhancing initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and cycling performance in batteries, while also buffering volume expansion. Despite its market prevalence, the effects of the carbon layer's quality and structure on the electrochemical properties of SiO remain underexplored. This study compares carbon layers produced via gas-phase and solid-phase coating methods, introducing an innovative technique that sequentially uses two gases to develop a low-impedance hybrid carbon structure.

Background: In light of the increasing diversity within school populations globally, a pressing need arises for nations to prioritise the enhancement of teachers' competencies in implementing inclusive education, recognising the central role teacher education programmes play in addressing this imperative. Teacher education programmes centred on inclusion not only respond to this global priority but also wield influence on teachers' attitudes, self-efficacy and stress levels when engaging with diverse learners.
Objectives: The study presents an analysis of the effectiveness of a teacher education programme in Ethiopia in developing teachers' competencies for inclusion.
Starting a cultural collective for mothers of children with disabilities: A case study.

Department of Social Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Stavanger, Stavanger, Norway.
Background: Caring for children with disabilities in Tanzania involves significant challenges, including stigma, limited support and mental health risks. A cultural collective for caretakers of children with disabilities enrolled at a primary school was established to address these issues.
Objectives: The study aims to explore the experiences of caregivers who started a cultural collective and to assess its impact on their lives in the short term.
