Early thrombosis following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery leads to perioperative myocardial infarction, which causes difficulties for clinicians and patients. Moreover, once perioperative myocardial infarction occurs, the mortality rate is extremely high. In recent years, microneedle (MN) drug delivery systems have become a research hotspot with broad clinical application prospects.

Article Synopsis
  • Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is now a standard treatment to reduce brain damage in newborns with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE), but many still face high rates of death and disabilities.
  • CHF6467 is a modified form of nerve growth factor (NGF) that does not cause pain and has shown protective effects on neurons in rodent models when used with hypothermia.
  • This study suggests that combining intranasal administration of CHF6467 with TH significantly reduces brain damage and improves motor and memory function in neonatal HIE, making it a promising treatment option.

Purpose: Describe the various presentations of the rare entity of orbital wall infarction secondary to sickle cell disease and highlight the importance of magnetic resonance imaging in differentiating the entity from other similar diagnoses.

Observation: A 4-year-old child presented to the hospital with bilateral recurrent painless orbital wall infarction secondary to sickle cell disease. Orbital wall infarctions have been described before in the literature; However, the painless and recurrent nature is intriguing.
