Clinical features and management of pediatric lymphedema
Lymphedema in children and young people (CYP) is a complex condition which impacts multiple aspects of their lives. Addressing these challenges requires a multidisciplinary approach, including medical treatment, psychological support, and social inclusion strategies. By understanding and managing the physical symptoms and providing emotional and social support, healthcare providers, families, and communities can help improve the quality of life for CYP living with lymphedema. Early intervention and ongoing care are crucial to minimizing its impact and supporting their overall wellbeing.

Acute longitudinal extensive transverse myelitis following the second dose of an inactivated COVID-19 vaccine: A case report of the youngest patient with post-Sinovac™ tetraplegia and poor prognosis
During the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, dozens of cases of acute transverse myelitis have been reported, either related to the disease itself or to various types of vaccines. However, rare cases of longitudinal extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) with relatively good prognosis have been reported, particularly after other COVID-19 vaccines, such as adenovirus vector vaccine (Oxford™, AstraZeneca), messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine (BioNTech™, Pfizer) and protein subunit vaccine (Corbevax™, Dynavax). This case report presents the third, worst prognosis and youngest case of LETM documented in the literature in association with an inactivated COVID-19 vaccine. A 39-year-old female patient developed sudden-onset severe cervical and thoracic predominantly paresthesia which rapidly progressed to tetraplegia, widespread sensory loss, bowel and bladder dysfunction two weeks after the second dose of Sinovac™ (Sinovac Biotech) vaccine. Spine magnetic resonance imaging showed LETM from C3 to T3 spinal cord segments. The outcome of this Sinovac™-induced LETM patient, who was inadequately treated with corticosteroids in the acute phase, showed a poor prognosis despite months of neurorehabilitation.
A rare side effect after local corticosteroid injection for carpal tunnel syndrome: Acute horseshoe abscess
Local corticosteroid injections are commonly used for carpal tunnel syndrome. Rarely, hand infections can occur after injection. This report presented a 60-year-old female patient who developed a horseshoe abscess after corticosteroid injection for carpal tunnel syndrome. Early surgical intervention, intravenous antibiotics, and early mobilization led to successful management. Proper sterilization is crucial to prevent complications. Understanding hand anatomy is essential for prompt diagnosis and treatment of infections.
