ne and inflammatory responses. Cardiovascular diseases are more frequent in males and subjects without cardiovascular dysfunctions infected by CoV-19 have a better prognosis, but these effects are still under study. It is hoped that certain drugs, such as CoV-19 receptor blockers, anti-inflammatories (against rheumatic diseases), monoclonal antibodies, anti-IL-1 and anti-IL-6, the remdesevir drug (analogue adenosine, effective against ebola), hydroxychloroquine (for the treatment of malaria) and vaccines, will open up new strategies and new therapeutic ways to combat this terrible virus. Copyright 2020 Biolife Sas. www.biolifesas.org.Charcot neuropathy osteoarthropathy, known as Charcot's foot, is a condition of the foot most frequently related to diabetes mellitus. It is associated with a high mortality rate, especially among patients with diabetes, therefore prompt identification and management of the condition by nurses in emergency departments is important. This article describes the pathophysiology, signs and symptoms and diagnosis of Charcot's foot, and offers guidance for initial care in emergency settings. Emergency nurses in the UK have an important role in recognising patients with this condition to ensure they receive optimal treatment and follow-up. © 2020 RCN Publishing Company Ltd.

Newborn cases diagnosed with an iliopsoas abscess in the English literature are summarized and differences in clinical presentations are discussed.Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare, genetic disease characterized by ciliary dysfunction. Patients may present with respiratory distress during neonatal period; chronic sinopulmonary disease, bronchiectasis, recurrent otitis media, sinusitis and infertility in later periods. About 50% of PCD patients have situs inversus totalis and 6-12% have situs ambiguous known as heterotaxy syndromes. Herein, we present a case of PCD and accompanying situs inversus who had acute abdominal pain and was diagnosed with torsion of one of the multiple spleens. Evaluation of acute abdominal pain in these patients has great importance since the internal organs are not at their typical locations.Internal hernia through the foramen of Winslow is a very rare condition, especially in children. Here we report a 16-month-old girl who presented with obstructive jaundice and elevation of pancreatic enzymes and was ultimately diagnosed with internal hernia and malrotation by radiologic investigation and open approach surgery. To the best of our knowledge, obstructive jaundice with pancreatitis and other congenital abnormalities in children with the foramen of Winslow hernia have not been reported previously in the literature.Adrenocortical tumors are rare in children. Most of these tumors present with endocrinological manifestations, majority of which with virilizing features alone or in combination with over production of other adrenal hormones. However, it is uncommon of an adrenocortical tumor to present solely with Cushing`s syndrome. In this paper we discuss the clinical presentation and management of a 5-month-old infant who had presented with Cushing`s syndrome due to a functioning adrenocortical adenoma without androgen and mineralocorticoid excess, and made a brief review on the clinical and histopathological characteristics of adrenocortical tumors.Grisel`s syndrome is non-traumatic inflammatory subluxation of the atlantoaxial joints presenting clinically as torticollis, neck pain, and reduced neck mobility. Several pathogens have been implicated in its etiology. Early diagnosis and treatment are vital for Grisel`s syndrome to avoid serious neurological complications. This study reports the case of a 6-year-old girl who complained of pain and curvature of the neck following an upper respiratory tract influenza infection. Notably, the patient`s neck pain and curvature worsened toward the end of her normal day for a week. This pattern is rare, but it represents an important example of Grisel`s syndrome as a condition that varies through the day.Peters plus syndrome is a rare genetic condition wherein multiple systemic involvement with distinctive facial features are manifested, whilst the hallmark is Peters anomaly, occuring from anterior segment dysgenesis. Homozygous variants in the B3GLCT gene were identified to underlie this disorder. We here report on a onemonth- old female patient with typical features characteristic of Peters plus syndrome in whom a homozygous pathogenic mutation in the B3GLCT gene was detected.In this report, detailed clinical features of a female patient and a new mutation that was not previously identified in the WD repeat-containing protein 45 (WDR45) gene are presented in order to contribute to the information in the literature on the phenotype as well as genotype of Beta-Propeller Protein Associated Neurodegeneration. buy SM04690 Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) analysis was done since etiology could not be determined. Our case was admitted to the hospital due to epilepsy, growth retardation and autism. Her family history was unremarkable except consanguineous marriage. She had tonic seizures twice at the age of 7 and 12 months and had continual seizures after 16 months. At the time, electroencephalography and brain MRI were performed twice were determined to be normal. Brain MRI Spectroscopy was also found to be normal at 35 months of age. Metabolic screening tests (acyl carnitine profile, urine organic acids, plasma amino acids, a very long chain fatty acid profile, etc.) were also normal. Genetic screening of the epilepsy panel for epileptic encephalopathies was negative. WES analysis revealed heterozygous previously unreported variant in intron 6 of the WDR45 gene, c.344+5G > A. In conclusion; Beta-Propeller Protein Associated Neurodegeneration should be considered as an option in the diagnosis of female patients with clinical findings of epilepsy, growth retardation and autism, with unspecified etiology.
