An estimated 4.1 million people in the United States are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). In 2014, the Hepatitis C Community Alliance to Test and Treat (HepCCATT) collaborative was formed to address hepatitis C in Chicago. From 2014 to 2017, the HepCCATT Case Management Program case managed 181 HCV-infected people and performed on-site capacity building at a 6-site community health center (CHC) that produced codified protocols, which were translated into a telehealth program to build capacity within CHCs to deliver hepatitis C care. HepCCATT's innovative approach to addressing multilevel barriers is a potential model for increasing access to hepatitis C care and treatment.

Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare pediatric malignancy often misdiagnosed as benign conditions like epididymitis. We report a 4-year-old boy with paratesticular RMS and retroperitoneal metastasis, initially mistaken for epididymitis. The diagnostic delay resulted in disease progression, necessitating radical inguinal orchiectomy, hemiscrotectomy, and complete multimodal therapy.

Unlabelled: Aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular emergency, particularly Stanford type A, which typically necessitates urgent surgical intervention. Despite advances in surgical techniques and perioperative care, preoperative bleeding and coagulopathy remain significant challenges. Tranexamic acid, an antifibrinolytic agent, is widely used to minimize perioperative bleeding in cardiovascular surgeries; however, its role in the non-surgical, preoperative stabilization of aortic dissection has not been well established.

Background: Although splenomegaly is a common finding in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, splenic infarction is rarely reported and may be under-recognised, especially in adults. Neurological complications such as aseptic meningitis are also uncommon but documented. The simultaneous occurrence of both complications in the context of primary EBV infection is exceptional.
