Perineal Mass in One-Year-Old Boy: Rare Presentation of Fibrous Hamartoma of Infancy

Fibrous hamartoma of infancy is a rare benign tumor that’s mainly detected in the upper trunk. In this study authors report a 1-year-old case of perianal fibrous hamartoma which was successfully managed without need to orchidectomy or urethral manipulation

Management of Renal Abscess in a 5-Year-Old Girl, A Case Report

Renal abscesses are rare in children. They have vague manifestations and any delay in proper diagnosis and treatment could lead to morbidity and mortality. We present a5-year-old girl with multiple renal abscesses after pyelonephritis that lead to total nephrectomy due to multiple drug resistance. The renal abscess may have subtle symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment strongly prevent undue mortality and morbidity. This case highlights the need for timely diagnosis and proper treatment. There must be a clinical suspicion of renal abscess if treatments do not affect the patient’s clinical condition.Keywords: Acute Pyelonephritis; Renal Abscess; Child

Epididymal Inflammatory Pseudotumor: A Case Report

Inflammatory pseudotuomr refers to a group of benign tumor like lesions that they are composed of a mixed inflammatory infiltrates. The diagnosis of these lesions and differentiation of them from malignant process may be difficult. We report on a 35-yearoldman who presented with multiple painless palpable masses in his right hemiscrotum for about 6 months. Right epididymal involvement with intact testicle and spermatic cord were observed during scrotal exploration. After classic right epididymectomy, histopathologic studies revealed inflammatory pseudotumor of the right epididymis.No remarkable abnormal signs and symptoms were observed in the follow up visits after 8 months

Neural Network for Structural Health Monitoring With Combined Direct and Indirect Methods

Advancement in wireless communication as well as recording and transferring data over the internet provides a lot of possibilities for smart inspection and monitoring for machines and structures. The big data recorded and transferred through such a system must be analyzed efficiently on the go to provide accurate feedback to the system. Neural network (NN) data processing techniques are an effective methodology for fast and accurate analyses of the data and provide feedback to the system. An NN methodology is proposed for structural health monitoring of bridge structures. The proposed platform uses the direct and indirect sensors mounted on the bridge structure and on the passing vehicle, respectively. This proposed approach will decrease the cost and the potential damages to the sensors in direct methods, and will increase the accuracy and reliability of monitoring in indirect techniques. The methodology and data processing techniques have been validated using a lab-scaled test bed

Three rare etiologies of urinary retention in pediatrics: A case series and review of the literature

Key Clinical Message Etiology of urinary retention in pediatric age differs significantly from adults and the elderly. Therefore, a comprehensive diagnosis is crucial before specific treatment. Every effort must be made to minimize invasive procedures as far as possible in children
