Ewing sarcoma among children 5 years of age or younger: Is it a different disease?

Introduction: Children ≤5 years of age with Ewing's sarcoma (ES) possibly have a distinct disease biology, data on which are scarce. We evaluated clinical features, outcomes, and prognostic factors of ES among children with age ≤5 years.

Methods: Children with ES registered between 2003 and 2019 were included.

Management and Outcomes of Children with Malignant Germ Cell Tumor.

Objectives: To assess the clinico-pathological features, management and outcomes, amongst extracranial malignant germ cell tumors (MGCTs) in children treated primarily at a tertiary care center in a resource-challenged nation.

Methods: The prospectively maintained data for children below 14 y of age treated for extracranial MGCT from May 1994 to January 2023 was analyzed for patient characteristics, management, event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) and factors effecting survival. Events was defined as death, recurrence and progression.

Surface contamination by SARS-CoV2 RNA in dedicated COVID care area of a tertiary care hospital in North India.

Environmental surfaces are potential source of SARS-CoV2 transmission. The study assessed the efficacy of hospital disinfection policy and contamination of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) RNA in COVID management Hospital. Inanimate surfaces from both patient areas (n = 70) and non-patient areas (n = 39) were sampled through surface swabbing and subjected to Reverse transcriptase PCR.

A retrospective study of the pattern of sexually transmitted infections from a tertiary care hospital of Rajasthan.

Background: Knowledge about the current patterns of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is essential as they pose a major health problem worldwide and even more so in the developing countries like ours. Owing to the lack of advanced laboratory facilities at most of the centers, the cases are evaluated and managed as per the syndromic approach proposed by the National AIDS Control Organization.

Aims: We aim to study the patterns of STIs seen over the past 4 years based on the syndromic approach.
