Meningeal carcinomatosis is known to cause a variety of symptoms. Here, we report a case of meningeal carcinomatosis due to lung cancer in which the patient developed short, frequently recurrent localized symptoms originating from the right midbrain. We considered a diagnosis of meningeal carcinomatosis based on a similar reported case.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the link between histological chorioamnionitis (hCAM) and various perinatal factors, focusing on the immature-to-total neutrophil ratio (ITR) in newborns to predict early-onset sepsis risk.
  • Conducted at Ohta Nishinouchi Hospital from 2016 to 2023, it analyzed 725 infants, revealing a significant correlation between hCAM and ITR, with specific cutoffs indicating predictive ability.
  • The results suggest that an ITR of 7.15% or higher may indicate the presence and severity of hCAM, along with maternal white blood cell counts providing additional predictive insight.

Article Synopsis
  • A pericardial drainage catheter can sometimes move into the right main pulmonary artery, which is a rare and serious complication.
  • This issue might arise when draining fluid from the pericardial space, especially if symptoms of cardiac tamponade (pressure on the heart) continue despite treatment.
  • If a lot of thick, bloody fluid is removed during the procedure, it raises the risk of this migration and potential life-threatening consequences.

Background: We previously reported that higher reticulocyte counts were observed in earlier preterm infants. Here we present an additional study that focused on reticulocyte counts among preterm infants of small for gestational age (SGA). To assess the relationship between SGA and perinatal variables during the early postnatal period.

Introduction: Early-onset hyperbilirubinemia (EOH) is a clinical issue for premature infants. We predicted that EOH management would be improved by fast results from common laboratory tests. Total serum bilirubin (TSB) level and the albumin/globulin ratio may contribute to improving the management of EOH.

Background: There are few reports on reticulocyte count during the early postnatal period, and its clinical significance is not well understood. To examine the relationships between neonatal reticulocyte count and other perinatal variables.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of neonatal infants who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Ohta Nishinouchi Hospital, Japan, between April 1, 2016 and July 31, 2019.
