Abstract:

Cat-scratch fever is a bacterial zoonotic disease most commonly caused by the bacteria Bartonella henselae. In the majority of cases, the pathogens enter the body as a consequence of a scratch by young cats. The disease usually presents as local lymphadenopathy and resolves spontaneously over a period of 8–12 weeks. The epidemiological status of bartonellosis in Poland varies. According to the latest epidemiological data, a total of 36 cases of the disease were reported in 2008, with 75% of cases requiring hospitalisation. The clinical presentation of cat-scratch fever is often non-specific, so a wide panel of tests is required to rule out other diseases that may be accompanied by local lymphadenopathy. The disease is usually mild and selflimiting, but some patients may require antibiotic therapy. The case reported here shows that a thorough evaluation of medical history plays a key role in the diagnostic process, providing a rapid and accurate preliminary diagnosis.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTIn full passive sentences such as The cat was kicked by the dog, the patient (cat) is promoted to subject and the agent is demoted to the by-phrase. Children 2;10 to 4;7 years (mean 3;6) who were taught the form with animate patients and animate agents (The baby is being picked up by the girl) were better able to produce and comprehend passives than children taught with inanimate patients and animate agents (The flower is being picked up by the girl). The finding of comparable post-teaching performance in children taught with perceptually salient (coloured) VS. nonsalient patients argues against a salience explanation for the patient animacy effect. Moreover, equal access to word forms for animate and inanimate nouns did not reduce the effect. The animacy effect is consistent with claims that ‘perspective’ is the cognitive counterpart to the formal category of subject; and, conversely, inconsistent with attempts to understand language acquisition in terms of a language system that operates in isolation from other facets of human cognition.

Abstract:

Cat scratch disease is a communicable disease caused by the Bartonella henselae bacteria. Regional lymphadenopathy is the hallmark of cat scratch disease and about 75% of lymphadenopathy cases are localized in the head and neck region. An epitrochlear lymphadenopathy is a rare condition at any age and often misdiagnosed as it is not normally palpable. External compression of an enlarged epitrochlear lymph node compromising vascularity was not mentioned in any literature before. We present a case of a 13-year-old girl with right positional ipsilateral hand pallor and epitrochlear lymphadenitis with serological evidence of Bartonella henselae infection. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.20(4) 2021 p.914-917

Abstract:

The authors describe a 12-year-old girl with an atypical presentation of Bartonella encephalitis. She presented with fever and altered mental status and developed flaccid paralysis of her left upper extremity a day later. An electroencephalogram showed slowing over her right hemisphere. She had mild leukocytosis and bandemia, but her imaging and cerebrospinal studies were unrevealing. After five days, her symptoms resolved and she was discharged home on doxycycline due to suspicion for Bartonella encephalitis. The patient admitted to playing with a kitten two months prior, but she lacked the classic regional lymphadenopathy. Bartonella titers were sent during her hospitalization and returned positive after her discharge. Cat scratch disease neurologic manifestations are uncommon, with hemiplegia being exceedingly rare. This case illustrates that focal neurologic signs may develop during cat scratch disease infection and suggests that cat scratch disease encephalitis should be considered during evaluation of a pediatric patient with acute flaccid paralysis.

Abstract:

Osteomyelitis of the spine with associated spinal epidural abscess represents an uncommon entity in the pediatric population, requiring prompt evaluation and diagnosis to prevent neurological compromise. Cat scratch disease, caused by the pathogen Bartonella henselae, encompasses a wide spectrum of clinical presentations; however, an association with osteomyelitis and epidural abscess has been reported in only 4 other instances in the literature. The authors report a rare case of multifocal thoracic osteomyelitis with an epidural abscess in a patient with a biopsy-proven pathogen of cat scratch disease. A 5-year-old girl, who initially presented with vague constitutional symptoms, was diagnosed with cat scratch disease following biopsy of an inguinal lymph node. Despite appropriate antibiotics, she presented several weeks later with recurrent symptoms and back pain. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed 2 foci of osteomyelitis at T-8 and T-11 with an associated anterior epidural abscess from T-9 to T-12. Percutaneous image-guided vertebral biopsy revealed B. henselae by polymerase chain reaction analysis, and she was treated conservatively with doxycycline and rifampin with favorable clinical outcome.

Abstract. Bartonella henselae is the bacterial agent responsible for cat scratch disease. This infection is frequently the cause of localized lymphadenitis in children. It is also sometimes responsible for endocarditis, encephalitis, hepatic peliosis and in rare cases osteomyelitis. We describe the second known case of unifocal thoracic osteomyelitis in a 10-year-old child.

Abstract:

Drawing on feminist, poststructural, and critical theories, the purpose of this research was to understand 5th-grade girls’ self-identified barriers to physical activity and work with them to find ways of negotiating those barriers in order to increase their physical activity opportunities. We worked with 11 girls in two elementary schools in southwestern United States. Data were collected over the 2005–2006 school year. Data sources included (a) 23 transcribed audio recordings, (b) field notes, (c) planning notes, (d) task sheets, (e) artifacts created by the girls and the principal investigator, and (f) photos the girls took. Our interpretations are presented in two sections. First, the girls explained that being a “girly girl” hindered their activity participation because a “girly girl” does not want to “sweat,” “mess up her hair and nails,” “mess up her nice clothes,” and sometimes wears “flip-flops.” Second, we discuss how we and the girls created a curriculum of possibilities that culminated in developing a book of physical activities that girly girls would enjoy.

Abstract:

Abstract Background: A thyroid storm (TS) is a rare, but life-threatening condition in hyperthyroid patients. Mortality in adult TS patients may be as high as 10%. Typically, a trigger precipitates the storm in hyperthyroid patients. Case presentation: We report the case of an adolescent girl with untreated hyperthyroidism who developed fulminant TS after a significant choking episode. Initially, she was found to have neck swelling and tachycardia leading providers to suspect infection. She deteriorated after a CAT Scan (CT) was performed with iodine contrast, potentially worsening storm symptoms. Here, we describe the case, the treatment strategy and propose a treatment modification for pediatric patients. Conclusions: While many children are found to have minor abnormalities in thyroid studies, this case highlights the critical importance of prompt medical attention for any child with significantly elevated free thyroxine (FT4) levels as morbidity can occur when left untreated.

Abstract:

This report describes a newborn girl presenting with some of the common features of DiGeorge syndrome/velocardiofacial syndrome (DGS/VCFS), including hypocalcemia, atrial septal defect, and aortic stenosis. Several genetic tests were carried out to determine the origin of the clinical phenotype. MLPA was initially performed followed by aCGH, cytogenetic analysis, and FISH. Cytogenetic analysis of the proband's parents was also done. MLPA revealed a deletion in 22q11.1q11.2 spanning from the cat eye syndrome region to the most commonly deleted region in DGS/VCFS patients. The size of the deletion as defined by aCGH was 3.2 Mb. The karyotype of the proband was 45,XX,der(1)t(1;22)(p36.3;q11.2)dn,-22, the karyotypes of the parents were normal. FISH analysis showed that the 22q11 deletion occurred in the der(1). No loss or gain of chromosomal material was evident for chromosome 1, as confirmed by MLPA, aCGH, and FISH. Unbalanced translocations resulting in DGS are relatively rare, with limited reports in the literature. To our knowledge, this is the second case involving chromosome 1 and the first one with breakpoints in 1p36 and 22q11.2. This case also emphasizes the importance of combining diagnostic methods to better understand a given genetic abnormality.

Abstract:

A variety of factors bias toward the selection of one syntactic structure over another (e.g., actives vs. passives). These factors include such properties as the inherent animacy of elements and their definiteness and thematic roles. Such linguistically systematic variables are independent of truth conditions or plausibility, and they interact with discourse factors in the selection of sen-tence form. An important question in the analysis of linguistic capacity as it normally changes through life and as it is realized under conditions of pathology is how various groups exploit these factors in their language use. This would seemingly be essentially a question about the mechanisms of sentence production, however, these factors also play a role in sentence comprehension. Sentences such as a dog was chased by the cat, the cow was milked by the farmer,and the girl was kissed by the boy are anomalous, ill-formed as productions in isolation, and, in virtue of their ill-formedness, place a burden on the comprehension system when being understood. The goal of this paper is twofold: (a) to present linguistic and psycholinguistic data illustrating the importance of these variables, and (b) point to some data which are only now beginning to emerge from studies of impaired populations which indicate the necessity of studying these variables.

Abstract:

To address questions about sex assignment in children with ambiguous genitalia, we studied gender identity in girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) in relation to characteristics of the disease and treatment, particularly genital appearance and surgery. A 9-item gender identity interview was administered to 43 girls with classical CAH ranging in age from 3–18 yr, 7 tomboys, and 29 sister control girls. Groups were compared on total score and on individual items. Results showed that, on the total gender identity score, 88% of girls with CAH had scores overlapping those of control girls, but the average score was intermediate between control girls and tomboys. On individual items of gender identity (discomfort as a girl, wish to be a boy), girls with CAH were similar to control girls. Gender identity in girls with CAH was not related to degree of genital virilization or age at which genital reconstructive surgery was done. Thus, moderate androgen excess early in development appears to produce a small increase in the risk of atypical gender identity, but this risk cannot be predicted from genital virilization.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of Toxocara spp. antibodies in children from two different socioeconomic classes in the Presidente Prudente municipality, São Paulo State, Brazil, and the protective and risk factors associated with toxocariasis. One hundred and twenty-six middle-class (MC) and 126 disadvantaged children (DC) were included in this study. Anti-Toxocara ELISA test was performed in order to evaluate seroprevalence. A survey was applied to the children's guardians/parents in order to analyze the protective and risk factors. The overall prevalence was 11.1%, and of 9.5% (12/126) and 12.7% (16/126) for MC and DC subgroups, respectively. Toxocara seropositivity was inversely proportional to the family income. A high household income was considered a protective factor for toxocariasis in the total population and in both MC and DC subgroups. Being a girl was considered a protective factor for the total population and for both subgroups. Whilst being an owner of cat was a risk factor for children belonging to the total and for both MC and DC subgroups, having dog was considered as a risk factor for only the MC. Epidemiologic protective/factor risks can be distinct depending on the strata of the same population. Thus, it is relevant to evaluate these factors independently for different socioeconomic classes in order to design future investigations and programs for preventing the infection of human beings by Toxocara spp. and other geohelminths.

Abstract:

This research examines the intrinsic elements of anime Nakitai Watashi wa Neko wo Kaburu, as well as the inner conflicts and defense mechanisms of Sasaki Miyo character in the anime Nakitai Watashi wa Neko wo Kaburu. This research uses qualitative descriptive technique with literary psychology approach. The data collection technique was carried out by using the note-taking technique. The theories that were used in this research are fiction study theory to analyze intrinsic elements and Freud's psychoanalytic theory to analyze the inner conflict and defense mechanisms of Sasaki Miyo. The result of this research is that there are 35 data that show the intrinsic elements of the anime Nakitai Watashi wa Neko wo Kaburu and 8 data that show the inner conflict and defense mechanisms of Sasaki Miyo character in the anime Nakitai Watashi wa Neko wo Kaburu. The conclusion that can be drawn from this research is that Sasaki Miyo, a middle school girl who was unhappy because her parents had gotten divorced and chose to run away from her house as a cat, experienced inner conflicts and used various defense mechanisms when the inner conflicts occurred. There are 6 defense mechanisms that are used by Miyo, and those are reaction formation, rationalization, reversal, compensation, and undoing. The factors that cause Miyo's unhappiness eventually accumulated so that Miyo often used projection as a defense mechanism, where she continued to project her anger towards her parents.

Full text

Abstract:

Drawing on Black feminist/womanist storytelling and the three-dimensional narrative inquiry space, this article showcases how one Black girl uses speculative fiction as testimony and counterstory, calling for readers to bear witness to her experiences and inviting witnesses to respond to the negative experiences she faces as a Black girl in the United States. I argue that situating speculative fiction as counterstory creates space for Black girls to challenge dominant narratives and create new realities. Furthermore, I argue that considering speculative fiction as testimony provides another way for readers to engage in a dialogic process with Black girls, affirming their words as legitimate sources of knowledge. Witnessing Black girls’ stories is an essential component to literacy and social justice contexts that tout a humanizing approach to research. They are also vital for dismantling a system bent on the castigation and obliteration of Black girls’ pasts, presents, and futures.

Imasaki K, Hasegawa T. Okabe T. Sakai Y. Haji M. Takayanagi R, Nawata H. Single amino acid substitution (840Arg → His) in the hormone-binding domain of the androgen receptor leads to incomplete androgen insensitivity syndrome associated with a thermolabile androgen receptor. Eur I Endocrinol 1994;130:569–74. ISSN 0804–4643 We have characterized the androgen receptor in a Japanese girl and her maternal cousin in a family with incomplete androgen insensitivity syndrome, and have investigated the molecular basis. Wholecell androgen binding assay in cultured genital skin fibroblasts from both patients showed a normal maximum binding capacity and a normal apparent dissociation constant. However, androgen binding in fibroblasts from both patients decreased to 30% when the assay temperature was raised from 30°C to 41°C, indicating the presence of the thermolability of ligand binding to the androgen receptor. Sequence analysis of the coding exons of the androgen receptor gene from the patients revealed a single nucleotide substitution at position 2881 in exon G, resulting in the conversion of arginine (CGT) to histidine (CAT) at amino acid position 840 in the hormone-binding domain of the androgen receptor. The family study showed that the mothers and the maternal grandmother of the patients are heterozygous carriers for this mutation, whereas the father does not carry it, supporting the view that androgen insensitivity syndrome is an X chromosome-linked disorder. The single amino acid substitution may explain the qualitative abnormality of the androgen receptor displaying thermolability, which is thought to be the pathogenesis of incomplete androgen insensitivity syndrome in the patients.

Abstract:

Abstract The occurrence of hereditary spherocytosis (HS) and sickle cell trait (HbAS) in the same patient is rare, with just 21 cases reported in the literature. Although six of these cases had splenic infarction or sequestration, none were reported as having a precipitating event. However, in persons with HbAS, splenic sequestration or infarction has been reported following exposure to high altitudes, including pressurized commercial aircraft. The interaction of these 2 (HS and HbAS) disorders can be explained by the hypoxic and acidic environment in the spleen. This environment causes spherocytes containing HbAS to be both less deformable and more prone to sickling, which promotes sluggish blood flow within the spleen and leads to sequestration and infarction. We have encountered a 10-year-old Caucasian girl with both HS and HbAS who experienced left upper quadrant pain during and following a flight on a commercial aircraft. Past medical history included episodes, although less severe, of left upper quadrant pain after traveling to high altitudes on automobile trips or on commercial aircraft. Family history included the dual diagnoses of HbAS and HS in the patient’s mother, for which she underwent splenectomy as a teenager, and a diagnosis of HS in her 9-year-old brother. At presentation, she had significant left upper quadrant tenderness upon palpation that was associated with voluntary guarding. There was no rebound or involuntary guarding. The spleen was noted to span 3–4cm below the left costal margin. Laboratory values included a hemoglobin of 10.8 (g/dl), reticulocyte count of 7.5%, total bilirubin of 3.0 (mg/dl), and lactate dehydrogenase of 1160 (U/L), all of which were similar to her baseline values. Abdominal ultrasound and cat scan demonstrated infarction in the inferior pole of her spleen. Despite supportive medical treatment, she required immediate splenectomy to relieve her symptoms and prevent recurrence. Her operative and post-operative courses were uneventful. This first report of a patient with both HS and HbAS who suffered splenic infarction after traveling on a commercial aircraft demonstrates how two different inherited red blood cell abnormalities can interact and lead to clinically significant complications.

Abstract:

An androgen receptor (AR) variant (E653K) was found in two unrelated Swedish families. One family had two girls affected with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency. The girls, who showed mild virilization in relation to their CYP21 genotype, had inherited the AR gene mutation from their father, who showed no symptoms of androgen insensitivity. The other family had a boy with partial androgen insensitivity and ambiguous genitalia, and he had inherited the AR gene mutation from his mother. The mutant receptor showed a transactivating capacity in the same range as the normal receptor at high concentrations of ligand (1 and 10 nm dihydrotestosterone), but absent or reduced transactivation at low levels (0.01 and 0.1 nm). The receptor variant was not found among 250 additional unselected Swedish men. Sequencing of the AR gene in five unrelated CAH girls with the I172N mutation in CYP21 and minimal virilization did not reveal any additional deviations from the normal reference sequence. In addition, there was no difference in lengths of the polymorphic CAG repeat in the AR gene between CAH girls with the I172N mutation who showed minimal and severe virilization, and we found no evidence of skewed X-inactivation. We conclude that AR gene mutations or polymorphisms are not a common factor influencing the degree of hyperandrogenic symptoms displayed by CAH girls, and that the AR E653K mutation is compatible with normal genital development, although it can cause genital malformations in susceptible individuals.

Abstract:

Introduction. Coloboma is a Greek word, which describes the defect of all layers of the organ, and it can be congenital or as the result of an injury, operation, or some disease. Congenital upper eyelid coloboma is a rare anomaly, with the unknown incidence. The size of the defect is different, but it always involves all layers of the eyelid. This malformation is more frequent at the upper eyelid, and unilaterally, at the junction of the medial two thirds. Sometimes, it can also involve the eye, and may be a component of many syndromes (Goldenhar, Fraser, Manitoba, CHARGE, Cat eye). Case report. We are describing the case of the upper eyelid coloboma with the rare eyebrow anomaly at the three-month old girl, and the result of reconstruction. The baby was treated conservatively with lubricants and overnight patching. Pentagonal excision of the defect was performed in general anesthesia. Three layers of the eyelid were prepared: the skin, muscle and tarsoconjunctival layer. Because of orbicularis muscle malposition, reinsertion and reposition of the muscle fibres were performed. Then, lateral canthotomy was made and the suture of three layers of the eyelid. Catgut suture 7-0 was used for the conjunctiva and muscle. Nylon 6-0 was used for skin suture. Z-plasty was done on the upper part of the pentagonal excision in order to reduce skin tension at the suture line. The operation lasted about 60 minutes and the hospitalization three days. The occlusive dressing was applied for two days. The stitches were removed after seven days. The postoperative swelling of the upper and lower eyelid disappeared in five days. There were no complications in the postoperative period. Conclusion. The main principle of the treatment of eyelid coloboma is surgical reconstruction of all layers of the eyelid, in optimal period, using different surgical methods, which depends on the size of the defect. An early diagnosis is of the greatest importance, as well as the treatment of associated anomalies. Complications of the upper eyelid coloboma depend on the size of the defect, presence of the eye anomalies and the method of reconstruction. This article has been corrected.

Abstract:

Pre-pubertal boys and girls speak with acoustically different voices despite the absence of a clear anatomical dimorphism in the vocal apparatus, suggesting that a strong component of the expression of gender through the voice is behavioural. Initial evidence for this hypothesis was found in a previous study showing that children can alter their voice to sound like a boy or like a girl. However, whether they can spontaneously modulate these voice components within their own gender in order to vary the expression of their masculinity and femininity remained to be investigated. Here, seventy-two English-speaking children aged 6–10 were asked to give voice to child characters varying in masculine and feminine stereotypicality to investigate whether primary school children spontaneously adjust their sex-related cues in the voice—fundamental frequency ( F 0) and formant spacing (Δ F )—along gender stereotypical lines. Boys and girls masculinized their voice, by lowering F 0 and Δ F , when impersonating stereotypically masculine child characters of the same sex. Girls and older boys also feminized their voice, by raising their F 0 and Δ F , when impersonating stereotypically feminine same-sex child characters. These findings reveal that children have some knowledge of the sexually dimorphic acoustic cues underlying the expression of gender, and are capable of controlling them to modulate gender-related attributes, paving the way for the use of the voice as an implicit, objective measure of the development of gender stereotypes and behaviour.
