May 19th, 2022 - Congenital cytomegalovirus infection (cCMV) is the most common known viral cause of neurodevelopmental delay in children. The risk of severe cerebral abnormalities and neurological sequelae is greatest when the infection occurs during the first trimester of pregnancy. Pre- and postnatal imaging can provide additional information and may help in the prediction of early neurological outcome. This...

May 14th, 2022 - The prenatal detection rate of fetal uterine effusion is very low, and current case reports mainly focus on pathological hydrometrocolpos. We presented two cases of fetal physiological uterine effusion with different ultrasonic characteristics and compared them with one case of hydrometrocolpos with the hope of identifying strategies to reduce misdiagnosis of fetal uterine effusion. This paper ...

May 12th, 2022 - Renal parapelvic cysts (RPC) have an incidence of approximately 1%-3% in the general population. However, they rarely present in children with only two cases reported in literature. RPC are often misdiagnosed as it is difficult to distinguish them from hydronephrosis on preoperative imaging. We report a case of an infant with a giant RPC with associated pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction, who ...

May 4th, 2022 - Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a rare heart disease caused by various underlying mutations. Most general cardiologists do not routinely see patients with congenital LQTS and may not always recognize the accompanying ECG features. In addition, a proportion of disease carriers do not display obvious abnormalities on their ECG. Combined, this can cause underdiagnosing of this potentially li...

May 1st, 2022 - BACKGROUND Cogan syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder associated most frequently with ocular, vestibular, and auditory involvement from presumed small vessel vasculitis. Cogan syndrome, in a significant proportion of patients, can progress to systemic symptoms, including gastrointestinal, neurologic, and musculoskeletal manifestations. Large-vessel involvement has also been described in some ...

Apr 30th, 2022 - Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS), which is caused by PHOX2B with phenotypic variations, has a point of controversy: CCHS is putatively involved in autopsy cases of sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) including sudden infant death syndrome. The relation of CCHS to SUID cases was investigated by extensive genotyping of PHOX2B. We analyzed 93 DNA samples of less than one-year-o...

This paper describes the identification of agonists of prostaglandin E2 receptors as a potential therapeutic approach for the most common NPHP1-associated ciliopathies. We demonstrated that prostaglandin E1 rescues defective ciliogenesis and cilia...

Apr 29th, 2022 - Arthrogryposis is a consequence of reduced fetal movements and arises due to environmental factors or underlying genetic defects, with extensive genetic heterogeneity. In many instances, the genes responsible are involved in neuromuscular function. Missense variants in the gene encoding embryonic myosin heavy chain (MYH3) usually cause distal arthrogryposis. Recently, mono-allelic or bi-allelic...

Few reports describe CCLD in adults and none has described the impact of a parasitic infection on CCLD. Severe diarrhoea may result in hypokalaemia with QT interval prolongation. Treatment with antiemetics may further increase the QT interval. To raise aw...
