Acute tetraparesis revealing acute lymphoblastic leukemia relapse: a case report and literature review
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer of
childhood and an important cause of death from cancer during the
first two decades of life [1]. Global incidence rates have been estimated
to be between 1.08 to 2.12 per 100,000 person-years, the condition
being four times more frequent in childhood than in adulthood [2].
Recent advances in the fields of diagnostics and therapeutics have
improved prognostic outcomes in patients.

The social effects and potential value of combination of Chinese herbal medicine with Inter- net hospitals during the COVID-19 epidemic
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 out-
breaks first in China on December 2019. Unfortunately, because the
virus shows the characteristics of rapid human-to-human transmis-
sion, a total of 8,569,962 cases were confirmed and 457,388 deaths
were happened worldwide as of June 20. In consequence, public’s
health-related fears are also fueled, and WHO defines COVID-19 as
a pandemic.

A case report on primary tuberculosis of glans penis-a rare presentation
Tuberculosis is a bacterial infectious disease caused by Mycobacteri-

WILKIE’S SYNDROME – A CASE REPORT
Wilkie’s syndrome or Superior Mesenteric Artery (SMA) syndrome is
characterized by compression of the third portion of the duodenum
caused by a hyperacute angle (<22–25°) between the SMA and the
aorta. This leads to the classic presenting symptoms of severe epigas-
tric abdominal pain, postprandial fullness, early satiety and vomiting.
Sometimes pain can be aggravated with lying supine and relieved in
knee chest position, a maneuver that increases the aortomesenteric
angle with subsequent relief of bowel obstruction.

Brain MR imaging findings in children with congenital muscular dystrophies
Congenital muscular dystrophies (CMDs) are a heterogeneous group
of disorders presenting early in life during infancy or soon after birth
with muscle weakness and hypotonia, sometime associated to severe
brain involvement and histologically presenting with dystrophic lesions. They are classified on the basis of the clinical features, pathologic findings and pattern of inheritance. In fact most of these disorders
are inherited and linked to specific genes. Several CDMs classifications have been proposed.
