Substantial advancement in the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders may come from assembling diverse data streams from clinical notes, neuroimaging, genetics, and real-time digital footprints from smartphones and wearable devices. This is called "deep phenotyping" and often involves machine learning. We argue that incidental findings arising in deep phenotyping research have certain special, morally and legally salient features: They are specific, actionable, numerous, and probabilistic. We consider ethical and legal implications of these features and propose a practical ethics strategy for managing them.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in the elderly and often incidental. While anticoagulation is facilitated by risk-stratification scores, rate versus rhythm-control in the elderly and likely asymptomatic population remain challenging. We report an 80-year-old male with newly diagnosed slow AF, referred for an electrical cardioversion after amiodarone loading.

Introduction: species, particularly , are rare opportunistic pathogens that typically affect immunocompromised individuals. These infections usually present with respiratory or systemic symptoms and are often linked to environmental exposure. Asymptomatic infections are exceedingly rare and pose unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Aim Of The Study: To present a case series of four pediatric patients with PDPV, each with a different clinical presentation and surgical management.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed four cases of PDPV managed at our institution. Two cases were associated with extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA) and discovered incidentally during surgery.

Background: Neutropenia is a common laboratory finding in children, therefore it is a common referral reason to pediatric hematology units. This study hypothesizes that most neutropenic children do not require pediatric hematology consultation, and that key clinical indicators can guide the need for referral.
Methods: Medical records of 180 patients who were admitted to a tertiary reference center, were evaluated in terms of demographical data, physical examination findings, laboratory findings, and outcome measures.

Background: Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) allows for precise excision of skin cancers with intraoperative histologic margin assessment. Incidental findings-unexpected histopathologic features unrelated to the primary lesion-are occasionally discovered but scantily characterized in the literature.
Objective: To systematically review published cases of incidental histologic findings identified during MMS, with attention to their frequency, clinical implications, and management.
