Mesenchymal Hamartoma: A Review of Literature

Mesenchymal Hamartoma is a rare, benign osseous tumor that typically involves the rib cage and presents during the first year of life. There is a case of this tumor originating in the cervical spine, described in literature. I document a brief literature review. In this review, there are not figures and outcomes.

We report a case of neuro-ophthalmological complications of congenital toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection caused by Toxoplasma gondi. Its congenital form occurs either as a primary infection or as reactivation of the same due to immunosuppression during pregnancy. With an incidence rate of 1.5/1000 live births, this disease is an important cause of visual loss from chorio-retinal lesions in >82%. Recent studies have shown that treatment given in utero and in the first year of life can reduce ophthalmological complications.

Intestinal Rotation

Abstract Intestinal malrotation presents as an emergency in the neonate and within the first year of life. Incomplete intestinal rotation may remain asymptomatic and undiagnosed. Adult patients are usually diagnosed incidentally while being investigated for nonspecific abdominal symptoms. We report a case of a 43-year-old female who presented with a 10-day history of paraumbilical abdominal pain. Computed tomography demonstrated features of incomplete intestinal rotation and a centrally located inflammatory mass related to the appendix. She underwent a laparotomy and appendectomy. Upon a brief literature review of similar cases, there seems to be a conflict of views regarding the management of incidentally diagnosed adult incomplete intestinal rotation.

Labium Majus

A small evagination of parietal peritoneum forms the canal of Nuck. By the first year of life this extension condenses into a fibrous cord. Cyst of canal of Nuck is a rare developmental anomaly. The inguinal canal is traversed by the spermatic cord in male and the round ligament of uterus in female. The processus vaginalis accompanies the round ligament through the inguinal canal through into the labium majus. This evagination of parietal peritoneum forms the canal of Nuck in the female. These cases are rarely seen in surgical practice. In this case series we described three clinical scenario of canal of Nuck and their management.

This literature review examines how babies’ body know-how develops during the first year of life. It surveys studies describing this development through the exploration of the body and of the physical environment. This early development may help babies acquire a sense of agency and a sense of body ownership. The development of body know-how, as a precursor to more in-depth knowledge of the body and of the self, may play an essential role in children's socio- cognitive and psychomotor development.

Infantile fibrosarcoma (IF) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma that occurs with a frequency of 1% of all cases of malignant neoplasms in children in the first year of life. IF most often affects the soft tissues of the upper and lower extremities. Rare localizations include the trunk, the head and neck, and the gastrointestinal tract. The article describes a rare clinical case of congenital IF of soft tissues of the chest wall in a newborn, as well as a literature review.

The Impact

The aim was to study the risk factors, forming the health status of children during the first year of life. The article presents a review of literature on the identification of various factors, forming health of children during the first year of life. The growing morbidity rate among the child population makes it urgent to find methods for improving childrens health including early diagnosis, so as to eliminate or reduce the impact of risk factors. In the current conditions, it is possible to affect significantly the health of children, in experts opinion, from the standpoint of a systematic analysis of the totality of socio-economic causes and risk factors. The joint efforts of pediatricians and parents will significantly improve the quality of life of a child without significant financial costs, thus, reducing family costs, spent for treatment and rehabilitation activities.

Swallowing Apnea

Abstract Research exists that evaluates the mechanics of swallowing respiratory coordination in healthy children and adults as well and individuals with swallowing impairment. The research program summarized in this article represents a systematic examination of swallowing respiratory coordination across the lifespan as a means of behaviorally investigating mechanisms of cortical modulation. Using time-locked recordings of submental surface electromyography, nasal airflow, and thyroid acoustics, three conditions of swallowing were evaluated in 20 adults in a single session and 10 infants in 10 sessions across the first year of life. The three swallowing conditions were selected to represent a continuum of volitional through nonvolitional swallowing control on the basis of a decreasing level of cortical activation. Our primary finding is that, across the lifespan, brainstem control strongly dictates the duration of swallowing apnea and is heavily involved in organizing the integration of swallowing and respiration, even in very early infancy. However, there is evidence that cortical modulation increases across the first 12 months of life to approximate more adult-like patterns of behavior. This modulation influences primarily conditions of volitional swallowing; sleep and naïve swallows appear to not be easily adapted by cortical regulation. Thus, it is attention, not arousal that engages cortical mechanisms.
