Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children, presenting with heterogeneous clinical and molecular subtypes. While gene fusions are predominantly associated with alveolar RMS, spindle cell RMS, especially congenital and intraosseous variants, are also linked to specific gene fusions. Furthermore, recently, FGFR1 kinase-driven RMSs were published.

Background: Transcatheter closure of large and complex atrial septal defect can pose challenges and complications during device placement. To improve stability, several assistive techniques have been developed.
Methods: This retrospective study evaluated the efficacy of the device-assisted device closure technique for large secundum atrial septal defects.

Introduction: Classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (CAH) is a rare genetic condition characterized by cortisol deficiency and excess adrenal androgens. CAH treatment is a lifelong balancing act between the need to reduce excess androgens, typically with supraphysiologic glucocorticoid (GC) doses, and concerns about potentially serious GC-related adverse events. Tradeoffs between the consequences of excess androgens versus GCs must be constantly reassessed throughout each patient's lifetime, based on current clinical needs and treatment goals.

Background: Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a notably common complication in pediatrics, with an incidence rate ranging from 15 to 64%. This rate is significantly higher than that observed in adults. Currently, there is a lack of substantial evidence regarding the association between intraoperative blood pressure variability (BPV) during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and the development of AKI in pediatric patients.

The etiology of congenital heart disease (CHD) is complex, comprising both genetic and environmental factors. Despite documented familial occurrences, the genetic etiology remains largely elusive. Trio exome sequencing identified a heterozygous FLT4 splice site variant in two families with respectively tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), and variable CHD comprising both the TOF spectrum and aortic coarctation.
