Summary: This is a severe case of a 10-month infant with dual infection of COVID-19 and dengue fever, presenting challenges in treatment and management. The infant recovered without sequale, highlighting the need for more thorough management of new cases during peak periods of dengue outbreak in tropical and developing countries.

Summary: The 2022 WHO classification redefines gray zone lymphoma (GZL) and restricts it to mediastinal origin cases called mediastinal gray zone lymphoma (MGZL) with overlapping features between primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL). Cases without mediastinal involvement are better classified as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (DLBCL NOS). Clinical and pathological data of Italian pediatric patients with GZL were collected over a 20-year period. Only four cases of bona fide MGZL were identified, showing a more aggressive clinical behavior than PMBCL or CHL. Prospective studies are needed to evaluate prognostic factors and establish the most effective first-line therapy for MGZL.

Summary: Dengue is an acute viral disease caused by dengue virus (DENV), primarily transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. Research has shown that B cells are susceptible to DENV infection, supporting viral replication potentially via entry mediated by CD300a. Furthermore, no antibody-mediated enhancement of DENV infection was observed in B cells in in vitro models.

Summary: Dengue fever is a systemic viral infection of epidemic proportions in tropical countries, with a rising incidence and unpredictable outbreaks. By developing a mathematical model using weather data and machine learning techniques, it was found that future cases of dengue fever can be predicted.

Summary: The study found a high incidence of lab-confirmed dengue fever among children aged 6 months to 15 years in Delhi, India, with the highest burden among 5 to 10 year olds. Dengue fever was most common in the post-monsoon months and showed significant clustering in the community. The most commonly circulating strain identified was DEN 3. The high incidence among children underscores the need to develop new dengue vaccines for younger age groups.

Summary: The frequency and contributing factors of severe dengue virus infection are not well understood. Consistent definitions of disease severity are needed for reliable characterization of severe dengue epidemiology. Hospital admission, although used as a proxy, lacks specificity and variability in clinical practices. Previous infection with dengue virus is a known risk factor for severe dengue, but the timing and sequence of infections on disease severity is only beginning to be understood. Comprehensive studies across various age groups and geographical regions are needed to improve our understanding of the clinical spectrum of disease resulting from dengue virus infection.

Summary: In 1997, Soergel et al published the first set of normative values for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in children, which is now accepted as the standard method to confirm the diagnosis of hypertension in children. Despite significant progress in the field of pediatric ABPM, many important questions remain unanswered, such as how to define ambulatory hypertension in children.

Summary: This study conducted a serosurvey on 115 healthy individuals aged 10-22 in Ratchaburi province, Thailand, finding that nearly 80% of adolescents and youth had been exposed to one or more dengue virus serotypes. The dengue IgG rapid diagnostic test exhibited low sensitivity and may not be suitable for pre-vaccination screening. These results support the use of IgG ELISA test for dengue vaccination in endemic areas.

Summary: This study introduces a new stemming method for non-formal Indonesian text processing which improves the accuracy of text classifier models. Experimental results show that the proposed stemming method outperforms existing methods, suggesting the development of a corpus for non-formal Indonesian text to enhance stemming methods.

Summary: By collecting information on pediatric patients with cancer and congenital abnormalities, this study found associations between pediatric malignancies and congenital abnormalities. Central nervous system tumors, leukemia, and renal tumors were the most represented cancers. Most congenital abnormalities were not related to known genetic disorders, and intellectual disability was the most common anomaly. Embryonic tumors were associated with consistent abnormalities.

Summary: This study examined the clinical characteristics and growth velocity of head circumference, weight, and height in 23 children with postnatal microcephaly. The study found that most of these children already had signs of severe brain damage at birth and there was variability in weight and height development, with no set pattern.

Summary: Rural electrification, diesel generator replacement, and resilient electrification systems against natural disasters are important targets for Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) in Indonesia. Microgrids are seen as a popular and flexible solution to achieve these goals. This paper presents a resilience-oriented planning strategy for community microgrids in Lombok Island, Indonesia, using a mixed-integer linear program implemented in the DER-CAM model. The results show that placing photovoltaic arrays, battery energy storage systems, and diesel generators in multi-node community microgrids can lead to multiple benefits, including 100% rural electrification, cost savings of over 25%, and CO2 emission reduction of over 22% in multinode community microgrids.

Summary: This study validates the Resilience Evaluation Scale (RES) as a valid and reliable measurement of psychological resilience in Indonesian undergraduate students. The final 8-item Indonesian version of RES consists of two underlying constructs: self-confidence and self-efficacy. The RES scores positively correlate with criterion variables and negatively correlate with opposite constructs.

Summary: The study found that street RABV does not replicate in human MDMs, but it binds to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha 7 on MDMs, inducing the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway and affecting the transport of nuclear factor inside the cells. Additionally, the infected MDMs showed decreased function as T cell activators and increased production of anti-inflammatory cytokines, possibly due to the induction of an anti-inflammatory state in human macrophages.
