High resolution CT (HRCT) of the lungs in six children with acute disseminated tuberculosis was evaluated. There was a wide variation in the HRCT appearances. This covered differences in size, distribution and concentration of nodular opacities. Coalescence of nodules and the presence of interstitial thickening was variable. The recognition of acute disseminated tuberculosis is important for diagnosis and has prognostic implications. The use of the term "acute disseminated tuberculosis" rather than "military tuberculosis" is advocated.

Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a neuro-inflammatory condition affecting adults and children. The presentations vary and include acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, optic neuritis or transverse myelitis. Optic neuritis associated with anti-MOG antibodies is typically bilateral, anterior and initially severe but usually resolves quickly and completely.

Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) are increasingly relied upon to provide intensive mental health treatment for youth with acute and severely impairing mental health symptoms, yet very few interventions have been adapted to fit this unique delivery context. Transdiagnostic treatments hold promise for addressing the complex clinical presentations and workflow needs of PHP programs, but more work is needed to understand factors that influence successful implementation. We conducted a formative implementation process evaluation to identify barriers and facilitators of acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of implementing an evidence-based transdiagnostic intervention in a PHP setting and further targets for intervention and implementation adaptation.

Introduction The association of acute pancreatitis with adverse obstetric outcomes remains subject to great controversy. Outcomes are affected by the standard of care available, and hence, will be better in developed countries than in underdeveloped countries like Pakistan. Therefore, this study aimed to understand the clinical characteristics and treatment of acute pancreatitis in pregnancy (APIP) and its associated maternal and neonatal outcomes in a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan.

Gonococcal urethritis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by obligate gram-negative diplococci, Neisseria gonorrhoeae. In a patient complaining of dysuria and urethral discharge, the diagnosis is typically confirmed by identifying the bacteria in mucosal secretions. Inadequately treated or untreated cases are at a risk of developing epididymo-orchitis, prostatitis and serious complications like disseminated gonococcal infection, meningitis, and endocarditis.
