is a rare condition caused by the short arm (p) and a small section of the long arm (q) of human chromosome 22 being present three (trisomic) or four times (tetrasomic) instead of the usual two times
Cat Eye Syndrome is a rare chromosomal disorder caused by tripling or quadrupling of parts of chromosome 22. It can affect individuals differently depending on severity. Signs may include coloboma of the iris, widely spaced eyes, ear growths, kidney and heart defects. While some have no outward symptoms, it can be suspected based on appearance and confirmed through genetic testing. There is no cure, but treatment focuses on managing affected body systems and individuals can live normal lives with treatment.
Albinism is a hereditary condition caused by a lack of melanin pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes. It results from a recessive gene and causes little to no pigmentation, making skin and hair very light in color and eyes often red or blue. Symptoms include light sensitivity, vision problems, and nystagmus. There are different types of albinism that vary in severity based on the amount of residual melanin present. Proper sun protection and sunglasses are important to manage health issues associated with albinism.
This document provides information about Edwards syndrome, also known as Trisomy 18. It is a rare chromosomal disorder caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 18. The key symptoms include intellectual disability, heart defects, and abnormalities of the hands and feet. Diagnosis is often made through blood tests to analyze chromosomes or through ultrasound screening. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms, as there is currently no cure. Life expectancy is poor, with over 90% of children passing away within the first year. The document outlines the different types of Edwards syndrome and provides some background on its discovery and causes.
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21. It causes lifelong intellectual disability and developmental delays. There are three main types of Down syndrome - Trisomy 21, Mosaic Down syndrome, and Translocation Down syndrome. Trisomy 21 accounts for 95% of cases and is caused by abnormal cell division during conception. While Down syndrome cannot be prevented or cured, early intervention programs can help children with Down syndrome develop important skills and abilities. Individuals with Down syndrome also often face increased health risks such as heart defects and dementia. However, with medical advances, the average life expectancy for people with Down syndrome is now over 50 years.
Williams Syndrome is a rare genetic condition present at birth that affects physical features and development. It occurs in about 1 in 20,000 births due to a random genetic mutation. Common characteristics include heart defects, learning disabilities, an overly friendly demeanor, and narrow blood vessels. There is no cure for Williams Syndrome, but symptoms can be managed through careful medical care and avoiding excess calcium and vitamin D. The condition varies in severity and some cases, like that of Cody described, require multiple heart surgeries while allowing the person to live with milder ongoing effects of the syndrome.
Patau syndrome, also known as trisomy 13, is a rare genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 13. It affects about 1 in 12,000 live births and causes severe intellectual and physical disabilities. Common signs include microcephaly, eye abnormalities, cleft palate, extra fingers or toes, and heart defects. While there is no cure, surgery can address some physical defects, though over 80% of infants with Patau syndrome do not survive past their first year.

Albinism is a genetic condition where people are born without the usual pigment (color) in their bodies. Their bodies aren't able to make a normal amount of melanin, the chemical that is responsible for eye, skin, and hair color. So most people with albinism have very pale skin, hair, and eyes.
Albinism is a genetic disorder that causes partial or complete lack of melanin pigment in the skin, hair and eyes. Melanin is responsible for skin, hair and eye color and protects against UV radiation. There are different types of albinism depending on whether the lack of melanin affects just the eyes or both eyes and skin. The most common types are oculocutaneous albinism, which affects eyes and skin, and ocular albinism, which only affects the eyes. Albinism is usually inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern and can cause vision problems, light sensitivity, and higher skin cancer risk. While there is no cure, treatments focus on vision rehabilitation and protection from UV exposure.
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by oculocutaneous albinism which causes abnormal pigmentation of the skin, hair and eyes. It is caused by mutations in genes responsible for producing protein complexes that construct lysosome-related organelles important for pigment production. The condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern and causes fair skin/hair color, visual impairment, and increased risk of skin damage from sun exposure. Diagnosis involves examining physical features and genetic testing. While there is no cure, treatment focuses on protecting the skin and eyes from sun exposure.
Edwards syndrome, also known as Trisomy 18, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra 18th chromosome. It results in physical abnormalities and intellectual disabilities. Individuals with Edwards syndrome often have heart defects, respiratory issues, and feeding difficulties. Prognosis is generally poor, with 50% surviving the first week and only 5-10% living beyond one year. Treatment focuses on management of symptoms and organ dysfunction. The condition is not inherited but rather caused by a random chromosomal error and cannot be passed to future generations.
ETIOLOGY, PATHOLOGY AND PATHOGENESIS OF CORNEAL ULCERDr Samarth Mishra
Corneal ulcer is a discontinuation of the normal corneal epithelial surface associated with necrosis of surrounding corneal tissue, characterized pathologically by edema and cellular infiltration. It can be classified based on location, purulence, association with hypopyon, depth, and slough formation. Common bacterial causes include Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Fungal keratitis is associated with filamentous fungi like Aspergillus. Herpes simplex virus causes infectious epithelial keratitis manifesting as dendritic or geographic ulcers. Mooren's ulcer is a severe, peripheral ulcerative keratitis of unknown etiology.
Mental retardation is characterized by deficits in cognitive abilities and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. It is classified based on IQ scores into mild, moderate, severe and profound categories. The causes include genetic conditions like Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, and inborn errors of metabolism. It can also be caused by acquired factors like maternal infections, childhood illnesses, trauma, and toxins. Diagnosis involves assessing cognitive abilities, adaptive skills, and ruling out other conditions. Prognosis depends on etiology and associated problems. Treatment focuses on education, therapies, social support, and prevention of secondary issues.
Albinism is a genetic condition that causes little or no pigmentation in the skin, hair, and eyes. It results from a faulty gene that prevents the body from producing typical amounts of melanin. People with albinism often experience vision problems, sensitivity to light, and lack of color in their features. While albinism has been observed throughout history, it was not formally recognized as a genetic condition until 1908. Today, genetic testing can help diagnose different types of albinism, while treatments focus on protecting the skin and eyes from sunlight and correcting vision issues.
Rickets is a childhood bone disease caused by vitamin D deficiency and lack of calcium or phosphorus. It results in soft, weak bones that can lead to skeletal deformities.

Prenatal diagnoses are now possible by ultrasound abnormalities or amniocentesis. Treatment focuses on growth hormone, estrogen therapy, and managing associated health issues.
Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder characterized by disproportionate short stature and limb abnormalities. It results from a mutation on chromosome 4 that causes a defect in bone growth by disrupting endochondral ossification. Individuals with achondroplasia have short stature, an enlarged head, midface hypoplasia, spinal abnormalities, and shortened limbs disproportionately affecting the arms and thighs. Complications can include neurological problems, respiratory issues, and spinal stenosis. While there is no cure, treatment focuses on supportive care, surgery to address orthopedic issues, and in some cases growth hormone therapy.
Patau Syndrome, also known as Trisomy 13, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 13 or the improper placement of chromosome 13. It results in severe physical and mental abnormalities such as heart defects, unusual facial features, small head size, missing or small eyes, extra fingers and toes, and spinal defects. Diagnosis is typically made through ultrasounds, x-rays, MRI, CT scans, or chromosome studies. Treatments focus on addressing specific physical problems, though many infants have difficulties surviving beyond the first few weeks due to neurological or heart issues.
Alkaptonuria is a rare genetic disorder that causes the buildup of homogentisic acid in the body's tissues due to a defect in the HGD gene. This buildup leads to dark pigmentation of cartilage and other connective tissues, as well as arthritis later in life. Affected individuals' urine turns black upon exposure to air, and testing for alkaptonuria involves adding ferric chloride to urine samples. While there is no cure, high doses of vitamin C may help slow the progression of symptoms.

It notes that exostoses like the torus mandibularis consist of dense cortical bone with some trabecular bone and fatty marrow. It also discusses Eagle Syndrome which is the elongation or mineralization of the styloid process that can compress nerves or blood vessels, causing symptoms. Finally, it mentions Stafne defect.
Scleroderma is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by hardening of the skin and internal organs. There are two main forms: localized, which only affects the skin, and systemic, which also damages internal organs like the heart, lungs, and kidneys. Systemic scleroderma can be limited, mainly affecting the hands, arms, and face, or diffuse, rapidly progressing and affecting more widespread areas of skin and internal organs. Common complications include pulmonary arterial hypertension, esophageal dysfunction, and kidney or heart failure. There is no cure, but organ complications are treated.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

2. Cat eye syndrome or Schmid–Fraccaro syndrome, is
a rare condition caused by the short arm (p) and
a small section of the long arm (q) of human
chromosome 22 being present three (trisomic) or
four times (tetrasomic) instead of the usual two
times.
3. Signs and symptoms
-Unilateral or bilateral iris coloboma (absence of
tissue from the colored part of the eyes)
-Preauricular pits/tags (small depressions/growths
of skin on the outer ears)
-Anal atresia (abnormal obstruction of the anus)
-Downward-slanting Palpebral fissures (openings
between the upper and lower eyelids)
-Kidney problems, Short stature and Cardiac
defects.
-Scoliosis/Skeletal problems.
4. The term "cat eye" syndrome was coined
because of the particular appearance of the
vertical colobomas in the eyes of some patients.
However, over half of the CES patients in the
literature do not present with this trait.
5. History
The abnormalities common to cat eye
syndrome were first cataloged in 1899.It was
described in association with a small marker
chromosome in 1965.Early reports of cat eye
syndrome discuss the possibility of
chromosome 13 involvement. Now, CES is
considered to be present with the chromosome
22 trisomy findings.
