Here we describe the case of an infant incidentally diagnosed with congenital KMT2A-rearranged (KMT2A-r) B-cell ALL on Day of Life 4. He received the first dose of intrathecal methotrexate on DOL 5, and induction systemic therapy on DOL 6. He demonstrated morphologic remission at the end of induction but had positive bone marrow. Minimal residual disease (MRD) was 1.4%. He experienced isolated CNS disease after consolidation and immunotherapy. At 8 months of age he underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). At 14 months of age he had medullary and CNS relapse, and at 16 months of age underwent CD19 CAR-T therapy. At 6 years of age he remains in remission with tolerable developmental delays and a good quality of life.

Introduction: The American Urological Association (AUA) recommends urology referral and surgery for undescended testicle (UDT) before 18 months of age, but it has been shown that many referrals occur later, influenced by social factors.
Objective: This study aims to identify key social factors that impact UDT referral timing and appropriateness.
Study Design: Pediatric patients referred to our institution for UDT management from 2018 to 2023 were analyzed.

Background: Distal radial fractures are the most common upper extremity fractures. Volar locking plate fixation has become the standard surgical treatment, providing stable angular fixation, early rehabilitation, and effective support for comminuted and osteopenic bones. This study aimed to analyze the incidence and causes of major complications requiring secondary surgeries following volar plating for distal radial fractures and to investigate the correlation between demographic factors and postoperative outcomes, including major complications and reoperation.

Fatigue is common among adults with cystic fibrosis (awCF) and may be associated with systemic inflammation. This study examines systemic inflammation, measured by C-reactive protein (CRP), and fatigue, assessed using the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) vitality domain, in individuals initiating elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) therapy. In a cohort of 61 awCF from St.

Low vitamin D associated with high parathyroid hormone (PTH) is commonly reported in the context of HIV infection. We determined the association between total 25-hydroxyvitamin-D [25(OH)D] and PTH in adolescents living with HIV, in Zambia and Zimbabwe. Adolescents (11-19 years) perinatally-infected with HIV and established on antiretroviral therapy (ART) for ≥6 months were recruited into a cross-sectional study.
