Consequences of In Utero Exposure to Synthetic Estrogens and Progestogens for Children
Female sex hormones mainly include estrogens and progestogens.
They are usually given to women in the form of synthetic products
that mimic the effects of natural hormones, and bind to the same
receptors. Since the 1940s, these synthetic hormones have been ad-
ministered to illions of pregnant women all over the world to "avoid
miscarriages" or for comfort, alone or in a cocktail : These include es-
trogens as diethylstilbestrol (Distilbène® or DES), alone or combined
with 17-α-EthinylEstradiol (EE), which is even more potent than DES,
and / or Synthetic Progestins (SP) whose impact on the developing
brain of children exposed in utero has recently been demonstrated in
international studies [1, 2].

A Case of Prurigo Nodularis in an Unlikely Setting
Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a rare, chronic dermatologic disease that
causes intense pruritus, leading to significant physiological and psy-
chological discomfort and a diminished quality of life. The estimated
prevalence of PN is 72 per 100,000 Americans, and most often presents
later in adulthood, between the ages of 51-65, with African-American
patients 3.4 times more likely to have PN than white patients [1, 2].
The typical clinical presentations of this dermatological disorder are
intensely pruritic papules, plaques, and nodules that are multiple in
number, firm, and flesh to pink colored.

Acute pancreatitis in Thalassemia post allogeneic stem cell transplant with Cyclosporine-A as a possible etiology: a report of two cases
This report highlights the importance of suspecting pancreatitis in a
paediatric thalassemia patient post allogeneic stem cell transplant with
cyclosporine - A as possible causative factor. CSA reintroduction can
be attempted with careful monitoring after recovery.

Localised Cutaneous Amyloidosis of the Glans Penis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Amyloidosis is a notable cause of morbidity, and in some cases mortal-
ity within the developed world. Urological presentations of systemic or
localised amyloidosis are rare, with primary penile amyloidosis being
poorly reported in the literature.

Robotic-Assisted Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Interbody Fusion (TLIF) Using A New Hands-Free 3D Digital Microscope with Head-Mounted Display (HMD): Technical Note
Since the 1970s, the operating microscope (OM) has been a standard
tool for visualization and illumination of the surgical field during spi-
nal microsurgery. However, some limitations have been documented,
e.g., the limited movability of the binocular lenses and discomfort
experienced by surgeons due to the abnormal postures required, and
efforts have been made to replace the OM with exoscopic and digi-
tal systems.

An ‘Uncommon early lineage switch’ in an MLL rearranged adult B-lineage Acute Lympho- blastic Leukemia to Mixed-phenotypic acute leukemia (B/Myeloid)
Lineage switch is an infrequent phenomenon with an incidence of
~ 0.6% of all de novo leukemias and seen in almost 6% of relapsed
cases. This phenomenon is observed following therapy or at the time
of relapse. Switch in lineage tends to occur in younger patients and is
associated with particularly poor outcomes.

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: Description of an Atypical Case
Headache is a frequent reason consulting physicians in pediatric pa-
tients. Headaches appear in about 37-51% of patients younger than
7 years and about 57-82% of patients under 15. Chronic headaches
are more infrequent, with 2.5% of kids under 7 and 15% of teenagers
under 15 suffering from this ailment.
