Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder marked by aberrations in copper metabolism, leading to its accumulation in vital organs such as the liver, brain, cornea, kidneys, and heart. While WD typically presents with hepatic symptoms in early childhood, neuropsychiatric manifestations are more prevalent during adolescence. This case report highlights an extraordinary instance of WD in an eight-year-old girl, characterized by intricate clinical and radiological features. The patient exhibited atypical symptoms, emphasizing the importance of recognizing diverse presentations of WD...

BACKGROUND: The increased survival rate among individuals with CHD has sparked interest in their transition to adult healthcare. Although there is a general agreement on the importance of transition interventions, the empirical evidence supporting them is insufficient. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of transition interventions for adult healthcare in adolescents and young adults. METHODS AND RESULTS: A literature search was conducted for studies comparing the quantitative effects of transition interventions with control groups, published up to March 15, 2023, in major databases (CENTRAL, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, KISS, and KMbase), major clinical trial registries, academic journal sites related to the topic, and grey literature databases...

The so-called Commando procedure, initially described by David and colleagues, consists in the reconstruction of the mitro-aortic fibrous lamina by a patch that enlarges both annuli. Its use has been described to upsize the aortic and mitral annulus for double valve replacement in adolescents. We describe a modified technique of this reconstruction of the fibrous skeleton of the heart, combined with Konno procedure to further enlarge the aortic annulus. In modified Commando procedure, following the reconstruction of aortomitral continuity with a bovine pericardium CardioCel patch (Admedus Regen Pty Ltd, Perth, WA, Australia), an aortic valved conduit that was made on the bench in order to have bottom skirt that enabled the suturing of the composite conduit far inside the left ventricle outflow tract...

Pediatric ECG standards have been defined without echocardiographic confirmation of normal anatomy. The Pediatric Heart Network Normal Echocardiogram Z-score Project provides a racially diverse group of healthy children with normal echocardiograms. We hypothesized that ECG and echocardiographic measures of left ventricular (LV) dimensions are sufficiently correlated in healthy children to imply a clinically meaningful relationship. This was a secondary analysis of a previously described cohort including 2170 digital ECGs...

BACKGROUND: Social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties (SEBDs) tend to develop during adolescence. Their presence and especially co-occurrence induce numerous disrupting consequences, including suicidality. A recently developed network analysis is suitable to investigate the symptom-level structure of comorbid psychopathology. Rather than pairwise comorbidity networks, the current study investigated a comprehensive network of SEBDs at the symptom level and explored the differential relationships between symptoms of SEBDs and suicidality...

Background: During the past two decades, research on high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) in children and adolescents has steadily accumulated, especially on the subthemes of improving cardiometabolic and cardiovascular health. However, there is still little scientific understanding of using scientometric analysis to establish knowledge maps. Exploring the relationship between known and new emerging ideas and their potential value has theoretical and practical implications in the context of a researcher's limited ability to read, analyze, and synthesize all published works...
