Article Abstract
We present a newly recognized, likely autosomal recessive, pleiotropic disorder seen in four individuals (three siblings and their nephew) from a consanguineous family of Pakistani origin. The condition is characterized by hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, severe microcephaly, sensorineural deafness, moderate learning disability, and distinctive facial dysmorphic features. Autozygosity mapping using SNP array genotyping defined a single, large autozygous region of 13.1 Mb on chromosome 3p21 common to the affected individuals. The critical region contains 227 genes and initial sequence analysis of a functional candidate gene has not identified causative mutations.

Adolescents transitioning from inpatient psychiatric care face heightened vulnerability, with traditional post-discharge approaches failing to address multifaceted mental health challenges. The purpose of this article is to explore the implementation of ecological resilience interventions through a four-dimensional framework comprising family system integration, school collaboration, community resource mobilization, and healthcare coordination to enhance adolescent post-discharge outcomes. This newly proposed integrated approach recognizes resilience emerges from dynamic interactions between individual characteristics and environmental supports across multiple ecological levels.

Background: Intracranial hypotension (IH) is a secondary headache syndrome that can result from spontaneous or iatrogenic CSF leaks. Subdural hematomas (SDHs) are a particularly dangerous sequela of IH. Although epidural blood patch (EBP) is a recognized treatment for IH, its use in pediatric patients with SDH as a solitary intervention has not been reported.

BMX Freestyle, a newly recognized Olympic discipline, demands athletes perform intricate, high-intensity maneuvers during 60-s competitive runs. Despite the sport's rapid evolution, there is a notable scarcity of scientific investigation into the distinct physiological and physical attributes of its athletes. This preliminary review synthesizes the extant literature to delineate the key physiological and physical characteristics of BMX Freestyle athletes and to identify pressing directions for future research.

Institute for Global Health Sciences, University of California, San Francisco, CA, USA.
Background: Despite evidence that mothers-in-law (MILs) influence daughters-in-law's (DILs) fertility and family planning decisions in South Asia, emphasizing early fertility and male grandchildren, few reproductive health interventions engage MILs directly.
Objectives: We assessed the feasibility, acceptability, and qualitative impact of a reproductive health and life skill-based intervention on MILs in tribal Rajasthan, India, using a mixed-methods, single-group cluster pilot study.
Methods: We tested a light-touch four-session intervention delivered over 4 months to MILs of newly married women that covered MILs' health, conception, and communication with DILs and sons and addressed modern healthcare misconceptions, while challenging son preference and fertility norms.

Background: Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a significant contributor to cardiac mortality in Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients. Inflammatory processes and oxidative stress play pivotal roles in the advancement of Pulmonary Hypertension (PH). The Monocyte-to-High-- Density-Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio (MHR), a newly identified biomarker indicative of inflammatory and oxidative stress, has not been extensively researched in the context of pulmonary hypertension, especially within the scope of dilated cardiomyopathy.
