Abstract Sinonasal neuroblastoma is a rare malignant tumor with a wide variability of clinical manifestations, which may cause diagnostic difficulty and have hindered the progress in understanding the clinical course and improving outcomes of treatment. Patients often present with nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, recurrent epistaxis, hyposmia, or anosmia. Treatment options consist of surgical resection and before or followed radiation and chemotherapy. We present a case report and short literature review about diagnostic, clinical and histological classification and treatment of this tumor. Keywords: neuroblastoma, nasal cavity, diagnostic, classification, treatment.

IKAROS and CTLA4 deficiencies are inborn errors of immunity and show similar clinical phenotypes, including hypogammaglobulinemia and autoimmune diseases (ADs). However, the differences in clinical features and pathogenesis of these are not fully understood. Therefore, we performed systematic literature reviews for IKAROS and CTLA4 deficiencies. The reviews suggested that patients with IKAROS deficiency develop AD earlier than hypogammaglobulinemia. However, no study assessed the detailed changes in clinical manifestations over time; this was likely due to the cross-sectional nature of the studies. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective longitudinal study on IKAROS and CTLA4 deficiencies in our cohort to evaluate the clinical course over time. In patients with IKAROS deficiency, AD and hypogammaglobulinemia often develop in that order, and AD often resolves before the onset of hypogammaglobulinemia; these observations were not found in patients with CTLA4 deficiency. Understanding this difference in the clinical course helps in the clinical management of both. Furthermore, our results suggest B- and T-cell-mediated ADs in patients with IKAROS and CTLA4 deficiencies, respectively.

The viral infection causing COVID-19 most notably affects the respiratory system but can result in extrapulmonary clinical manifestations as well. Rhabdomyolysis-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) in the setting of COVID-19 is an uncommon complication of the infection. There is significant interest in this viral infection given its global spread, ease of transmission, and varied clinical manifestations and outcomes. This case report and literature review describes the symptoms, laboratory findings, and clinical course of a patient who developed AKI secondary to rhabdomyolysis and COVID-19, which will help clinicians recognize and treat this condition.

BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted nearly all aspects of life and has posed significant threats to international health and the economy. Given the rapidly unfolding nature of the current pandemic, there is an urgent need to streamline literature synthesis of the growing scientific research to elucidate targeted solutions. While traditional systematic literature review studies provide valuable insights, these studies have restrictions, including analyzing a limited number of papers, having various biases, being time-consuming and labor-intensive, focusing on a few topics, incapable of trend analysis, and lack of data-driven tools. OBJECTIVE This study fills the mentioned restrictions in the literature and practice by analyzing two biomedical concepts, clinical manifestations of disease and therapeutic chemical compounds, with text mining methods in a corpus containing COVID-19 research papers and find associations between the two biomedical concepts. METHODS This research has collected papers representing COVID-19 pre-prints and peer-reviewed research published in 2020. We used frequency analysis to find highly frequent manifestations and therapeutic chemicals, representing the importance of the two biomedical concepts. This study also applied topic modeling to find the relationship between the two biomedical concepts. RESULTS We analyzed 9,298 research papers published through May 5, 2020 and found 3,645 disease-related and 2,434 chemical-related articles. The most frequent clinical manifestations of disease terminology included COVID-19, SARS, cancer, pneumonia, fever, and cough. The most frequent chemical-related terminology included Lopinavir, Ritonavir, Oxygen, Chloroquine, Remdesivir, and water. Topic modeling provided 25 categories showing relationships between our two overarching categories. These categories represent statistically significant associations between multiple aspects of each category, some connections of which were novel and not previously identified by the scientific community. CONCLUSIONS Appreciation of this context is vital due to the lack of a systematic large-scale literature review survey and the importance of fast literature review during the current COVID-19 pandemic for developing treatments. This study is beneficial to researchers for obtaining a macro-level picture of literature, to educators for knowing the scope of literature, to journals for exploring most discussed disease symptoms and pharmaceutical targets, and to policymakers and funding agencies for creating scientific strategic plans regarding COVID-19.

AbstractThe clinical manifestations of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vary from mild flu-like symptoms to severe fatal pneumonia. However, children with COVID-19 may be asymptomatic or may have mild clinical symptoms. The aim of this study was to investigate clinical features of pediatric COVID-19 and to search for the factors that may mitigate the disease course. We reviewed the literature to realize the clinical features, laboratory, and radiographic data that may be diagnostic for COVID-19 among children. Also, we studied the factors that may affect the clinical course of the disease. Fever, dry cough, and fatigue are the main symptoms of pediatric COVID-19, sometimes flu-like symptoms and/or gastrointestinal symptoms may be present. Although some infected children may be asymptomatic, a recent unusual hyperinflammatory reaction with overlapping features of Kawasaki's disease and toxic shock syndrome in pediatric COVID-19 has been occasionally reported. Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronvirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleic acid testing is the corner-stone method for the diagnosis of COVID-19. Lymphocyte count and other inflammatory markers are not essentially diagnostic; however, chest computed tomography is highly specific. Factors that may mitigate the severity of pediatric COVID-19 are home confinement with limited children activity, trained immunity caused by compulsory vaccination, the response of the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors in children is not the same as in adults, and that children are less likely to have comorbidities. As infected children may be asymptomatic or may have only mild respiratory and/or gastrointestinal symptoms that might be missed, all children for families who have a member diagnosed with COVID-19 should be investigated.

This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) on the initial training of science teachers in Africa based on selected research articles, in the period 2000–2020, that emphasize the importance of surveying knowledge that goes beyond those that historically have a longer path in the building of scientific knowledge, such as that of European or North American countries. The analysis included a total of 31 articles from the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases. The findings indicate a lack of knowledge, or at least visibility, considering the initial training of African teachers, particularly in developing countries. South Africa leads the number of publications. Within the five African countries implied in the SLR the following outputs were identified: (i) a division between teacher education research that is ‘place-based’ and one that uses (only) ‘universal theories’ (such as Vygotsky and Bandura); (ii) a tension between the application of student-centered learning and teaching models and more traditional classroom practices. Finally, the majority of articles highlight the importance of investing in further research around teacher education. Based on these outputs the importance of international cooperation in teacher education research articulating theory and practice to ensure a global and local perspective towards sustainable development is reinforced.

Background:Objectives:to evaluate the effect of antirheumatic therapy according to the “treat to target” strategy on the course of chronic heart failure (CHF) in patients with early RA.Methods:The study included 22 patients CHF with valid diagnosis of RA (criteria ACR / EULAR, 2010), 17 (77%) of women, median (Me) age - 60 years, Me disease duration - 7 months; IgM seropositive for rheumatoid factor 10 (45%) and / or antibodies to the cyclic citrulline peptide 22 (100%), DAS28-5.6 [4,8;6,5]. CHF verified in accordance the recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of CHF Society of Specialists in Heart Failure (2013). The concentration of NT-proBNP was determined by electrochemiluminescence. For all patients was started methotrexate (MT) therapy with a rapid increase in the dose to 30 mg per week subcutaneously. If the MT was not effective enough, after 3 months a biological Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drug (bDMARDs) was added to the therapy, predominantly TNF-alpha inhibitors. After 18 months, 10 (45%) patients were in remission and low disease activity, 6 (60%) of patients underwent MT therapy in combination with bDMARDs.Results:In baseline CHF with preserved EF was revealed in 21 (95%) patients, in 1 patient - CHF with reduced EF. After 18 months there was a positive dynamics of improvement of clinical symptoms, echocardiographic indicators (decrease the size of the left atrium (LА) and the index of end-systolic volume of LА, IVRT, E’ LV), diastolic function of the left ventricle (LV). There was no decompensation of CHF. LV diastolic function normalized in 7 (32%) patients who reached the target level of blood pressure, remission (n = 5) and low (n = 2) disease activity, mainly in the treatment of MT and bDMARDs. In patients with RA and CHF, the level of NT-proBNP decreased from 192.2 [151.4; 266.4] to 114.0 [90.4; 163.4] pg / ml (p <0.001), normalized in 16 of 22 (73%) patients (p <0.001) with remission or low RA activity. In 5 (22%) patients, the clinical manifestations of CHF regressed, LV diastolic function and NT-proBNP level normalized.Conclusion:In patients with early RA and CHF anti-rheumatic therapy improves the clinical course of CHF. There were an improvement in the clinical course of CHF, diastolic function of the left ventricle and a decrease in NT-proBNP.Disclosure of Interests:None declared
