Abstract
Abstract Intestinal parasitism is the main cause of disease all over the world and described as a significant community health problem. The current study intended to find out the occurrence and identification of hazard factors linked with IPIs among 4-12 years aged shool-age children residing in Lower Dir district, Pakistan during 2019 - 2020. A cross-sectional school-based study was conducted using a pre-arranged pre-tested survey. Anthropometric data and stool collection were done to obtain the findings. The direct wet mount preparation in saline/iodine/methods was used for stool examination. Data were investigated using the GraphPad Prism 5. A total of 400 children studied (mean age of 8.6±3.6 years) the total incidence rate for the intestinal parasitic disease was established to be 71.75%. Of the 400 children studied, the overall prevalence rate for intestinal parasitic infections was found to 71.75% Ascaris lumbricoides (33.1%), Trichuris trichiura (1.04%), E. vermicularis (1.39%), Hookworm (19.86%) were identified in children living in the study area. We concluded that there is a mass scale campaigns were required to generate alertness about health and sanitation in children and the need for the development of effective poverty control programs because deworming (killing of worm with drugs) alone is not adequate to control parasitic infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION Sarcoidosis is a multi-systemic disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by the presence of non-caseating granulomas in target organs. In 90% of cases, there is thoracic involvement. Fifty to seventy percent of pulmonary sarcoidosis patients will experience acute, self-limiting disease. For the subgroup of patients who develop persistent disease, no targeted therapy is currently available. AIM To investigate the potential of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), Toll-like receptor 3 Leu412Phe (TLR3 L412F; rs3775291), as a causative factor in the development of and in disease persistence in pulmonary sarcoidosis. To investigate the functionality of TLR3 L412F in vitro in primary human lung fibroblasts from pulmonary sarcoidosis patients. DESIGN SNP-genotyping and cellular assays, respectively, were used to investigate the role of TLR3 L412F in the development of persistent pulmonary sarcoidosis. METHODS Cohorts of Irish sarcoidosis patients (n = 228), healthy Irish controls (n = 263) and a secondary cohort of American sarcoidosis patients (n = 123) were genotyped for TLR3 L412F. Additionally, the effect of TLR3 L412F in primary lung fibroblasts from pulmonary sarcoidosis patients was quantitated following TLR3 activation in the context of cytokine and type I interferon production, TLR3 expression and apoptotic- and fibroproliferative-responses. RESULTS We report a significant association between TLR3 L412F and persistent clinical disease in two cohorts of Irish and American Caucasians with pulmonary sarcoidosis. Furthermore, activation of TLR3 in primary lung fibroblasts from 412 F-homozygous pulmonary sarcoidosis patients resulted in reduced IFN-β and TLR3 expression, reduced apoptosis- and dysregulated fibroproliferative-responses compared with TLR3 wild-type patients. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION This study identifies defective TLR3 function as a previously unidentified factor in persistent clinical disease in pulmonary sarcoidosis and reveals TLR3 L412F as a candidate biomarker.

Abstract
Bronchoscopy has evolved well beyond a simple look-see examination, with new interventional techniques becoming more commonly employed. So-called interventional bronchoscopy implies the use of bronchoscopy as a therapeutic, in addition to diagnostic, tool. We present 2 cases to illustrate the utility of one such interventional technique, tumour ablation by endobronchial electrocautery and snaring, in the management of airway obstruction by tumour. This procedure, performed via a flexible bronchoscope under local anaesthesia can spare patients time-consuming, expensive treatments with their attendant morbidity, and in some cases can be life-saving. There is minimal morbidity associated with this technique. It is anticipated that interventional bronchoscopy will continue to revolutionise management of such conditions in the future, and become a necessary facility in all pulmonary medicine units.

Abstract
Pharyngeal size, compliance, and the dynamic behavior of the upper airway are important factors in the production of obstructive sleep apnea. Assessment of the upper airway for possible site(s) of obstruction is one of the keys to a successful management of the condition. Acoustic pharyngometry has the potential for localizing such sites, however, standardizing the operating technique and producing a standard normal curve is a prerequisite before exploring the potential of this equipment. A total number of 350 normal volunteers (271 males and 79 females) were examined by acoustic pharyngometry and a coefficient of variance of 5% to 7% was obtained from each of them. Mean and standard deviation of pharyngeal area at each point of X-axis (distance) was obtained and analyzed statistically to produce a general standard curve. Using special techniques during examination, the oropharyngeal junction and glottis were located, and thus a mapped acoustic pharyngogram was produced. Mean pharyngeal area was 3.194 cm(2) in males (SD 0.311) and 2.814 cm(2) in females (SD 0.331). Mean glottic area was 1.06 cm(2) in males (SD 0.119) and 0.936 cm(2) in females (SD 0.108). A minimal pharyngeal area is probably needed as a "golden standard" to evaluate patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Abstract
The authors present an anterior rectal cyst in a 14-month-old girl. This rare variant of rectal duplications presented with recurrent urinary infections. The diagnosis was challenging in view of the multiple differential diagnoses to be considered. Magnetic resonance imaging appeared to be the most accurate preoperative investigation. The cyst was removed uneventfully by partial excision and mucosal ablation. An awareness of this variant can lead to early diagnosis and curative resection.

Abstract
This report describes a rare type IIIb variant of long gap pure esophageal atresia treated with delayed primary repair. Preoperative imaging showed a distal pouch with a unusually long tapering end, and a 5-vertebral body gap. Delayed exploration with mobilization of the distal pouch allowed for successful primary repair without the need of myotomy. The characteristic radiological appearance of this rare variant enables its preoperative recognition and warrants attempting primary repair with a good expectation of success.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report experience with the treatment of complications of vinyl glove ingestion in mentally retarded patients with pica. DESIGN A retrospective case series. SETTING Two university-affiliated hospitals. PATIENTS Five mentally retarded patients, 4 with a history of pica, who were admitted for the management of complications resulting from the ingestion of vinyl gloves. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Type of complication, treatment and operative outcome. FINDINGS The patients ranged in age from 26 to 46 years. One patient died while awaiting surgical consultation of massive gastrointestinal bleeding from a large gastric ulcer caused by a vinyl glove bezoar (VGB). Four VGBs were removed surgically. Endoscopic removal was difficult or impossible because the gloves had become hardened and matted. CONCLUSIONS VGB should be considered in institutionalized mentally retarded people with a history of pica when they present with gastrointestinal symptoms. VGBs should be removed directly by laparotomy, gastrotomy or enterotomy. Endoscopic removal is not recommended.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal abnormalities are frequent in patients with Down syndrome (DS), gastroesophageal reflux (GER) being prominent among them. A 10-year-old boy with DS presented with progressive daily vomiting and an upper gastrointestinal study documenting reflux. A laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication was performed uneventfully. Postoperative inability to take solids was noted and a contrast study showed a tight gastroesophageal junction and poor peristalsis. Persistent symptoms were not alleviated by esophageal dilatation, despite a relaxing lower esophageal sphincter. Esophageal manometry documented complete esophageal aperistalsis. A percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy was placed and the patient required long-term tube feeds. Esophageal aperistalsis is a rare condition in DS, likely superimposed on GER. Fundoplication may adversely affect the already abnormal esophageal motility in these children. Esophageal manometry preoperatively will identify motility disorders and assist in selecting the best management for these patients.

Abstract
The diagnosis of pheochromocytoma (Pheo) can be challenging due to the variety of potential presentations of this infrequent tumor. A 16-year-old boy presented with hypertension and sudden abdominal pain after minor blunt abdominal trauma. Both computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) scanning identified a right suprarenal mass, and raised the possibility of a Pheo. This diagnosis was confirmed through urine catecholamine testing and (131)I metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scanning. An extra-adrenal Pheo was successfully resected. The presentation of Pheos is quite variable, and patients may often be essentially asymptomatic. Pheo should be considered in hypertensive pediatric patients with a history of blunt abdominal trauma.

Abstract
Masses in the inguinal canal other than hernias are rare occurrences, and their preoperative diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion. A soft, partly reducible groin mass in a 3-month-old boy proved to be a cystic lymphangioma within the inguinal canal. A 15-month-old female who presented with an irreducible inguinal mass was found to have a neuroblastoma metastasis in the groin. An irreducible groin mass in a 6-year-old female proved to be an inguinal canal epidermal inclusion cyst. A 14-year-old female presented with a painful groin swelling that represented an incarcerated hemorrhagic ovarian cyst. An awareness of the wide spectrum of entities other than the standard bowel, testicle, and ovary in the inguinal canal can help to identify uncommon pathologies preoperatively.

Abstract
Peri-catheter calcification is an unusual and previously unreported complication of central venous (CV) catheterization in infants. A 1. 9 Fr Silastic CV catheter was placed in a term infant for administration of total parenteral nutrition and antibiotics following intra-abdominal sepsis. The catheter was removed, without complication, at a later date after another septic episode. Imaging studies performed in the investigation of a possible intra-abdominal abscess revealed a cylindrical density within a clot in the inferior vena cava (IVC). The density was presumed to be a retained catheter fragment. Further investigation indicated total occlusion of the IVC. Surgical exploration of the IVC revealed only a calcified thrombus. This case represents a rare and previously unreported complication of CV catheterization in infants. Diagnosing this condition on radiographic evidence alone can be difficult. It is hoped that awareness of the potential for this complication will avoid unnecessary invasive procedures in the future. We also suggest a high level of clinical suspicion and routine Doppler ultrasound investigations to detect IVC thrombosis when indwelling CV catheters are used in infants.

Abstract
This report documents the first known pediatric survivor of seat-belt-associated gastric transection. An 11-year-old boy presented with abdominal ecchymoses after a motor vehicle accident. Physical and radiological examination determined the need for abdominal exploration. During the operation, a near-complete transection of the stomach was found, which was repaired by primary anastomosis. After an initially unremarkable recovery period, gastric stasis and pyloric obstruction developed. Radiologically and endoscopically, this was determined to be secondary to a traumatic distal vagotomy. Neither gastric transection nor traumatic vagotomy had been reported previously in the pediatric population with abdominal seat-belt injuries. This report demonstrates an exceptionally rare seat-belt-related injury, and its unusual postoperative complication. It also emphasizes the significance of the "seat-belt sign" in the assessment of motor vehicle-related blunt abdominal trauma, and outlines potential problems associated with the wearing of adult-designed lap belts by pediatric passengers.

Abstract
Nasopharyngeal teratoma is a rare benign entity, with most of the published literature represented by sporadic case reports. We present a recent case of a 23-year-old woman found to have elevated maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein and ultrasound findings of a fetal cystic mass in the mandibular region. The infant had a large nasopharyngeal teratoma protruding from the oral cavity making airway access extremely difficult. The presence of severe coexisting cardiac anomalies and respiratory disease led to death in the neonatal period. This report and the review of the literature stress the importance of recognizing suggestive prenatal data and preparing for perinatal management including maintenance of fetal oxygenation and aggressive early provision of an adequate airway.

Abstract
A study to evaluate the relative effect of copper ions and increased surface area added through the wiring of the stem of the inert "T" device was performed. The experimental design was set up to test a hypothesis that the effectiveness of a copper device is a result of the increase in surface area of the IUD and not a result of the copper itself. Ninety-eight TCu 200 mm2 devices were stripped of their copper wire and rewound with a "nylon" thread of the same length, caliber and surface area. the devices were then repacked and gas sterilized. The 98 "nylon T" devices were fitted early in 1977 and followed up for 2 years. The major finding was that the replacement of copper wire on the "copper T" device by a "nylon" thread, "nylon T", had shown a comparable antifertility effect.

Abstract
Use of the sutured Lippes Loop for immediate postpartum insertion was evaluated in 100 volunteers at the Kasr-el-Aini Hospital in Cairo. The intrauterine devices were inserted manually immediately after delivery of the placenta. There was an expulsion rate of 1.2 per 100 women at three months, one case of infection requiring treatment and one removal because of bleeding. One woman became pregnant and expelled the Loop. The two major problems associated with the use of an intrauterine device, high expulsion rate and perforation, were overcome by hand insertion of the Loop.

Abstract
Two copper-bearing intrauterine devices--the Cu-7 and Cu-T-200--were investigated to determine why contraceptive failures occur with these devices. For this investigation, 155 multiparous women were followed up for at least 24 months after IUD insertion (T-Cu-200 in 75 cases and the Cu-7 in 80 cases). Three women using the T-Cu-200 and 5 women using the Cu-7 became pregnant during the first year. Hysterosalpingographic findings are presented for 8 of these cases and for 2 additional cases (one with each device) who became pregnant during the second year of follow-up. These indicate that uterine abnormalities and disproportions between the uterine cavity's shape and size and that of the device are the primary reasons for device displacement and partial fundal coverage leading to contraceptive failures.

Abstract
Eighty women attending the Family Planning Clinic showed negative findings when submitted to a special gynaecological and neuro-psychiatric questionnaire, as well as clinical neuro-psychiatric and electroencephalographic examinations, to exclude present or past menstrual troubles, premenstrual tension symptoms and/or neuro-psychiatric illness. They were divided into eight groups each of ten cases receiving one type of steroid contraceptive throughout the whole period of study. Repeated submission to the previously used neuro-psychiatric questionnaire as well as clinical neuro-psychiatric examination was carried out every three months. EEG tracings were recorded at the end of the trial. Neuro-psychiatric side-effects were noted in sixty-one cases (76.2%). EEG changes were reported in forty-eight cases (60%). It was concluded that both components of the steroid should be included in the pill preferably in minimum concentration. Selective use or relative increase of either components would be associated with more side-effects.

Abstract
Abstract
Twenty-four children (29 kidneys) with hydronephrosis due to pelvi-ureteric obstruction are reviewed. Conservative plastic surgery to the pelviureterc junction is recommended and an anterior transperitoneal approach to the renal pelvis is advocated. Extrarenal drainage should be used and pyelostomy or nephrostomy is not usually necessary. While the clinical results are excellent the radiological changes tend to be more disappointing and a longer follow-up period may be required to improve the radiological appearances.
