McWilliams and Dunn report a case of aplastic anemia in Down's syndrome similar to our recently reported case. We can expect a flurry of other such case reports. However, since the association of aplastic anemia and Down's syndrome is still unusual, it will be interesting to document difference in predisposing factors and response to various forms of therapy.

Despite safety recommendations for the management of corpses with COVID-19 infection and the high number of deaths worldwide, the post-mortem investigation rate is extremely low as well as the scientific contributions describing the pathological features. The first results of post-mortem investigations provided interesting findings and contributed to promoting unexplored therapeutic approaches and new frontiers of research. A systematic review is provided with the aim of summarizing all autopsy studies up to February 2020 in which a complete post-mortem investigation in patients with COVID-19 disease was performed, focusing on histopathological features. We included case reports, case series, retrospective and prospective studies, letters to the editor, and reviews. A total of 28 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria, producing a pooled dataset of 407 full autopsies. Analyzing the medical history data, only 12 subjects had died without any comorbidities (for 15 cases the data were not available). The post-mortem investigation highlighted that acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multiple organ failure represent the main clinical features of COVID-19 disease, often leading to pulmonary thromboembolism and superimposed bronchopneumonia. The discussed data showed a strict relationship among the inflammatory processes, diffuse alveolar, and endothelial damage. In light of these results, the full autopsy can be considered as the gold standard to investigate unknown infections or pathogens resulting in death.

Background: Congenital hypothyroidism is the most common congenital disorder of the endocrine system, leading to preventable mental retardation. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the current status of congenital hypothyroidism information registry systems. Methods: In this systematic review 290 papers identified. A total of 254 articles were screened, of which 17 qualified articles were selected through the databases of Scopus, science direct ProQuest, PubMed, as well as the search engine Google scholar (no restriction on date of publication) up to 2020, were searched. Inclusion criteria were the Articles with the English language that examining information registry systems on congenital hypothyroidism. Articles whose full texts were not accessible, case reports, and letters to the editor had to be excluded. Results: This study showed that the primary goal of nearly half (50%) of the information registry systems for congenital hypothyroidism is to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the screening program. Other information registry systems for congenital hypothyroidism have examined the epidemiology of the disease in 4 studies (23.6%), monitoring iodine deficiency in 3 studies (18%), surveillance disease in 1 study (6%), and describing the clinical and familial features of the patient in 1 study (6%). Conclusions: Few studies have been done on developing information registry systems, and most studies have focused on the use of information systems in this field. Further comprehensive reviews are recommended to investigate the infrastructure of the commission national registry and world network to record information units on congenital hypothyroidism.

Aims And Scope

The Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery is an international journal, and the official journal of both the International Society of Feline Medicine (isfm.net) and the American Association of Feline Practitioners (catvets.com). It is published monthly in two formats. The ‘classic’ editions (published in February, April, June, August, October and December) contain high quality original papers on all aspects of feline medicine and surgery, including relevant basic research. Manuscripts can be submitted as full papers, short communications, case series, individual case reports or letters to the editor. The ‘clinical practice’ editions (published in January. March, May, July, September and November) primarily contain commissioned opinionated review articles of direct relevance to feline clinical work, along with other relevant clinical articles such as case reports. Offers of reviews and topics for consideration should be directed to the editors, via the editorial office, [email protected], for initial editorial approval. All submissions (including commissioned reviews and letters) are subject to peer review by the editors and selected referees. An international news section provides information about ISFM, AAFP and other feline veterinary meetings, society news, selected product and other developments, and relevant issues from other publications and meetings.
