Ménétrier disease (MD) is a rare condition characterized by hypertrophic gastropathy, leading to enlarged gastric folds, excessive mucus production, and protein loss. Among the approximately 150 cases of reported pediatric MD, the usual presenting features are peripheral oedema, anasarca, and gastrointestinal symptoms. This case report describes a 2-year-old child presenting with gastric outlet obstruction, an unusual manifestation of MD, which has not been described previously in the pediatric age group.

Introduction: Patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis (PM/DM) are prone to multiple complications that may lead to increased mortality rates. Data about PM/DM mortality in Mexico are lacking.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess mortality trends in PM/DM in Mexico across 2 decades (2000-2019), overall, by sex, age group, and geographic region.

Herein, a novel and simple electrospray (ES) printing technique was developed for the fabrication of ultrathin graphene layers with precisely controlled nanometer-scale thickness, where graphene oxide (GO) was electrosprayed on wafers and subsequently chemically reduced into reduced GO (rGO). Utilizing that technique, we prepared ultrathin rGO in-plane graphene field-effect transistor (GFET)-based biosensors coupled with a portable prototype measuring system for point-of-care detection of pathogens. We illustrate the use of such prepared GFETs to detect COVID-19, using the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen (N-protein) and genomic viral RNA as detection targets.

Objectives: Our study aimed to identify potential predictors for additional systemic involvement in patients with noninfectious uveitis, specifically focusing on their demographic, etiological, clinical, and laboratory data features from the pediatric rheumatology perspective.
Methods: Patients with noninfectious uveitis before the age of 18 years and followed up for at least 3 months in 2 tertiary centers of pediatric rheumatology and ophthalmology departments were included in the study. Demographics, etiology, clinical features, laboratory data, and treatments administered were evaluated and compared based on the etiology (idiopathic and systemic disease-related uveitis [SD-U]) and the use of biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.

Background: Syndromic surveillance systems are crucial for the monitoring of population health and the early detection of emerging health problems. Internationally, there are numerous established systems reporting on different types of data. In the Netherlands, the Nivel syndromic surveillance system provides real-time monitoring on all diseases and symptoms presented in general practice.

Background: Online research studies enable engagement with more Black cisgender women in health-related research. However, fraudulent data collection responses in online studies raise important concerns about data integrity, particularly when incentives are involved.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the strengths and limitations of fraud deterrence and detection procedures implemented in an incentivized, cross-sectional, online study about HIV prevention and sexual health with Black cisgender women living in Texas.
