A five-year-old boy presented with bilateral acute proptosis, papilledema, and sub-retinal fluid. Notably, choroidal thickening exceeded 600 microns. These ocular findings were the initial manifestations of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This case underscores the importance of recognizing uncommon ocular presentations in pediatric leukemia for timely diagnosis and management.

Correlation of Increased Lateral Tibial Slope With Baseline Tibial Position in Intact Knees and Side-to-Side Anterior Tibial Translation for Knees With ACL Tears.
Am J Sports Med
January 2025
Twin Cities Orthopedics, Edina, Minnesota, USA.
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) stress techniques-including single-leg stress radiographs, Telos, and KT-1000 arthrometer-are highly accessible and can provide additional diagnostic information to assess ACL and ACL graft integrity. The degree of anterior tibial translation (ATT) may be useful in guiding treatment when a diagnosis on magnetic resonance imaging is not conclusive or for judging if additional treatments, such as anterolateral complex augmentation, may be necessary.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of increasing posterior tibial slope (PTS) on baseline tibial position (BTP) and side-to-side differences (SSD) in ATT.
Impact of white matter hyperintensity location on outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients: a lesion-symptom mapping study.
Brain Imaging Behav
January 2025
Department of Radiology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, 400016, China.
Background: Studies on the impact of white matter hyperintensity (WMH) on function outcome have primarily concentrated on WMH volume, overlooking the potential significance of WMH location. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between WMH location and outcome in patients with their first-ever acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
Methods: Patients who underwent their first AIS between September 2021 and September 2022 were recruited.
Epstein-Barr Virus-Associated Frosted Branch Angiitis: A Case Report and Brief Review.
Retin Cases Brief Rep
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Neurosciences, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA.
Purpose: To report the clinical presentation, treatment course, and outcome of a case of bilateral frosted branch angiitis (FBA) and neuroretinitis associated with acute Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in a pediatric patient with Turner Syndrome.
Methods: Case report with multimodal ocular imaging and extensive systemic workup.
Results: A 16-year-old female with Turner syndrome presented with acute bilateral vision loss, hearing loss, and ataxia.
Recovery time and predictors of severe acute malnutrition in children aged 6-59 months via an outpatient therapeutic program in Borena zone: A prospective cohort study.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Reproductive Health, College of Medical and Health Sciences, Dilla University, Dilla, Ethiopia.
Background: Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is a severe condition causing bilateral pitting edema or signs of wasting in children, with a high mortality risk. An outpatient therapeutic program is recommended for managing SAM children without complications, but there is limited information on recovery time and its determinants.
Objective: This study aims to assess the time to recovery and its predictors among children aged 6-59 months with SAM admitted to the Outpatient therapeutic program in the Borena zone, Oromia region, Southern Ethiopia in 2023.

Background: The orexin/hypocretin neuropeptide system, primarily found in the lateral hypothalamus and perifornical region, modulates sleep, wakefulness, appetite, and cognitive function. One region with dense orexinergic projections is the basal forebrain (BF), which is the major source of acetylcholine in the neocortex and limbic structures such as the hippocampus. The basal forebrain cholinergic system mediates cognition and dysfunction is one of the key hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease.
