CASE PRESENTATION A 14-month-old male infant with three weeks of fever up to 39◦C and diarrhea, presented to our emergency department. He was well until three weeks before arrival. On arrival he was alert but appeared pale and ill. Rectal temperature was 39.2◦C, heart rate was 166 beats per minute, blood pressure was 103/74 mmHg and oxygen saturation on room air was 95%. On physical examination...

Cellulitis is a common condition and several mimics exist which should be considered in patients who fail to respond to antibiotics. We describe the case of a patient with anaplastic large cell lymphoma masquerading as a lower leg cellulitis.

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is the most common arrhythmia in children and is especially common in infants. SVT is typically thought of as an acute condition; however, if unrecognized, a persistent tachyarrhythmia can progress to a state of cardiac contractile dysfunction known as tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy. A high index of suspicion for an underlying arrhythmia is needed in the w...

The ability of human infants < or = 4 months of age to pursue objects smoothly with their eyes was assessed by presenting small target spots moving with hold-ramp-hold trajectories at ramp velocities of 4-32 deg/sec. Infants as young as 1 month old followed such target motions with a combination of smooth-pursuit and saccadic eye movements interrupted occasionally by periods when the eyes remai...

Accurate monitoring and forecasting of drought are crucial. They play a vital role in the optimal functioning irrigation systems, risk management, readiness, alleviation. In this work, Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, comprising Multi-layer Perceptron Neural Network (MLPNN) Co-Active Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (CANFIS), regression, model including Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), were in...
