    Abstract S-nitrosothiols are endogenous, bioactive molecules. S-nitrosothiols are implicated in many diseases, including sepsis. It is currently cumbersome to measure S-nitrosothiols clinically. We have previously developed an instrument to measure tissue S-nitrosothiols non-invasively using ultraviolet light. We have performed a prospective case control study of controls and children with sepsis admitted to the PICU. We hypothesized that tissue S-nitrosothiols would be higher in septic patients than controls. Controls were patients with no cardiopulmonary instability. Cases were patients with septic shock. We measured S-nitrosothiols, both at diagnosis and after resolution of shock. A total of 44 patients were enrolled: 21 controls and 23 with sepsis. At baseline, the controls were younger [median age 5 years (IQR 0, 9) versus 11 years (IQR: 6, 16),

    Title translation Ceccum leiomyoma: an unusual cause of intestinal occlusion in adults
    Abstract Introduction: Cecal leiomyoma is a very rare benign tumor of the colon, constituted by a proliferative process of smooth muscle that originates from the muscularis propria or the muscularis of the cecum mucosa. These are often asymptomatic tumors that are found incidentally during screening studies or in the context of some other pathology. In cases with clinical expression, it commonly presents as chronic abdominal pain or a palpable abdominal mass. Infrequently it manifests as complications such as intestinal perforation, intestinal bleeding, or intestinal obstruction that require surgical treatment.
    Method: We present the case of a 25-year-old woman who came to the Central Guard service of the institution for abdominal colic pain of 48 hours of evolution associated with vomiting and abdominal distention. The videolaparoscopic surgical approach was decided in which an abdominal mass was identified at the level of the ileoceccal valve. Conventional right hemicolectomy with proximal loop ileostomy was performed with good postoperative evolution. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed a benign ceccum leiomyoma.
    Results: The patient resolved her acute abdominal symptoms without complications and was discharged on the 5° postoperative day.
    Conclusion: The scarcity of studies and bibliography related to this infrequent pathology denotes the need to elaborate new studies of greater scope that offer answers to the questions and controversial aspects that still persist in relation to the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic management of benign cecal tumors of mesenchymal lineage.

    Abstract Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is inherited in a predominantly autosomal recessive manner with over 45 currently identified causative genes. It is a clinically heterogeneous disorder that results in a chronic wet cough and drainage from the paranasal sinuses, chronic otitis media with hearing impairment as well as male infertility. Approximately 50% of patients have situs inversus totalis. Prior to the development of chronic oto-sino-pulmonary symptoms, neonatal respiratory distress occurs in more than 80% of patients as a result of impaired mucociliary clearance and mucus impaction causing atelectasis and lobar collapse. Diagnosis is often delayed due to overlapping symptoms with other causes of neonatal respiratory distress. A work up for PCD should be initiated in the newborn with compatible clinical features, especially those with respiratory distress, consistent radiographic findings or persistent oxygen requirement and/or organ laterality defects.

    Abstract Children with inherited and/or acquired respiratory disorders often arrive in adolescence and adulthood with diminished lung function that might have been detected and prevented had better mechanisms been available to identify and to assess progression of disease. Fortunately, advances in genetic assessments, low-cost diagnostics, and minimally- invasive novel biomarkers are being developed to detect and to treat respiratory diseases before they give rise to loss of life or lung function. This paper summarizes the Developing Biomarkers for Pulmonary Health sessions of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute- sponsored 2021 Defining and Promoting Pediatric Pulmonary Health workshop. These sessions discussed genetic testing, pulse oximetry, exhaled nitric oxide, and novel biomarkers related to childhood lung diseases.

    Abstract Both L- and D-isomers of S-nitrosocysteine (CSNO) can bind to the intracellular domain of voltage-gated potassium channels in vitro. CSNO binding inhibits these channels in the carotid body, leading to increased minute ventilation in vivo. However, only the l-isomer is active in vivo because it requires the l-amino acid transporter (LAT) for transmembrane transport. In rodents and dogs, the esterified D-CSNO precursor-d-cystine dimethyl ester (ATLX-0199)-overcomes opioid- and benzodiazepine-induced respiratory depression while maintaining analgesia. Although ATLX-0199 can enter cells independently of LAT because it is an ester, its stability in plasma is limited by the presence of esterases. Here, we hypothesized that the drug could be sequestered in erythrocytes to avoid de-esterification in circulation. We developed a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method for detecting ATLX-0199 and characterized a new metabolite, S-nitroso-d-cysteine monomethyl ester (DNOCE), which is also a D-CSNO precursor. We found that both ATLX-0199 and DNOCE readily enter erythrocytes and neurons and remain stable over 20 min; thus ATLX-0199 can enter cells where the ester is stable, but the thiol is reduced. Depending on hemoglobin conformation, the reduced ester can be S-nitrosylated and enter carotid body neurons, where it then increases minute ventilation. These data may help explain the paradox that ATLX-0199, a dimethyl ester, can avoid de-esterification in plasma and exert its effects at the level of the carotid body.
