    Abstract J Krishnamurti, a renowned philosopher, describes fear as the transition from the convictions of the Known to the flux of the Unknown1. The weakening of the interspecies transmission barrier between the animal and human interface has strengthened this fear. Consequently, our impulsive selves have taken precedence over our reflective voices.

    Abstract Maternal severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection can affect placental function, but the possibility of intrauterine transmission has been debated. Several authors have published inclusion criteria for vertical transmission, but few reports exist that are able to meet the suggested requirements. Despite the fact that the majority of fetuses born to infected mothers do well, others become critically ill. We present a case of likely intrauterine transmission of a neonate born to a mother who was recently symptomatic with a positive SARS CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The parturient complained of decreased fetal movement and presented at 31

    Abstract Accidental foreign body aspiration in children is a leading cause of childhood morbidity. Prompt recognition and timely management reduce complications, some of which are potentially fatal. A previously well 2-year-old girl presented with recurrent episodes of cough, fever and tachypnoea with chest indrawing for the previous 7 months. The first episode lasted almost 4 weeks. There was no history of choking. She was underweight (Z-score -2 to -3) with initially normal height. The chest radiograph demonstrated opacities in the left lung first, but subsequently there were lesions in both lungs. Computerised tomography confirmed the chest radiograph findings. Bronchoscopy demonstrated pus and granulomatous tissue in the left main bronchus, but no foreign body was detected and she was treated with antibiotics. Over the following 18 months she had several outpatient and four inpatient treatments for the same complaint. There was progressive weight loss, stunting and she developed finger clubbing. During her fourth admission, a repeat bronchoscopy again demonstrated granulomatous tissue with pus in the left main bronchus and remnants of a migratory peanut and signs of early bronchiectasis. Following removal of the peanut, her health began to recover, and, at follow-up a year later, her chest radiograph was normal, her growth had caught up and she was in normal health.

    Abstract Noisy breathing is a common symptom in infancy and childhood. It can sometimes be intimidating to the parents and a diagnostic challenge to the treating physician. Causes for a noisy airway include congenital and acquired conditions. They can vary in etiology from self-resolving conditions like laryngomalacia to more sinister entities like malignant tumors. We present a 3-year-old girl who presented with noisy breathing since the age of 6months associated with poor weight gain and chest deformity. Due to persistence of her symptoms, she underwent upper airway evaluation at different time points and was found to have varied causes for her noisy respiration that included airway malacia, pharyngeal wall inspiratory collapse and later adenoidal hypertrophy which was complicated by symptoms suggestive of obstructive sleep apnea. The above three conditions are known to co-exist and can manifest at varied points of time. Since it is unusual to encounter varied causes of upper airway obstruction in the same patient, this case is being presented for its rarity and to highlight the importance of evaluating the upper airway repeatedly if symptoms are persistent, variable or progressive.

    Abstract Maternal severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection can affect placental function, but the possibility of intrauterine transmission has been debated. Several authors have published inclusion criteria for vertical transmission, but few reports exist that are able to meet the suggested requirements. Despite the fact that the majority of fetuses born to infected mothers do well, others become critically ill. We present a case of likely intrauterine transmission of a neonate born to a mother who was recently symptomatic with a positive SARS CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The parturient complained of decreased fetal movement and presented at 31 2/7 weeks' gestation with a biophysical profile score of 2/10 and required an emergency cesarean delivery. The neonate went on to develop severe leukopenia with signs of sepsis with a positive SARS CoV-2 PCR on day 4 of life and an otherwise pan-negative workup. Meeting criteria for transplacental transmission requires timely collection of several diagnostic studies that are not standard of care. Further research is needed to support the notion that intrauterine/transplacental infection is possible. Collection swabs should be obtained soon after delivery to help diagnose neonatal infection because early diagnosis is crucial to help identify opportunities for intervention.

    Abstract Magnesium is one of the most abundant electrolytes in the human body but is often forgotten when it comes to the evaluation of an infant presenting with hypocalcemia. Its deficiency can present as neurological, cardiac and skeletal symptoms. Familial hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcemia is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by a transient receptor potential melastatin 6 gene pathogenic variant (TRMP6). The underlying defect lies in the intestinal absorption of magnesium. A delay in diagnosis and lack of timely initiation of treatment can lead to long term irreversible neurological complications and even death. We describe a case of an infant presenting with seizures and severe hypomagnesemia and hypocalcemia. Genetic analysis subsequently identified the abnormality as a frameshift mutation in the TRMP6 gene confirming the diagnosis of Familial hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcemia. With fewer than a hundred cases reported in the literature, we aim to highlight the importance of early diagnosis and treatment initiation and create a deeper understanding of the disease.

    Abstract Opiates are generally used to relieve dyspnoea in advanced diseases such as cancer and lung diseases. However, little is known regarding the safety and efficacy of morphine for refractory dyspnoea in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. We retrospectively reviewed records of 18 COVID-19-positive patients who were administered morphine for refractory dyspnoea during hospitalisation between May 2021 and June 2021. Details of morphine usage, vital signs, an 11-point dyspnoea numeric rating scale (DNRS) and adverse events at baseline, 24 h and 72 h after the start of treatment were abstracted from records. The final clinical outcome in terms of death or discharge was noted. All patients had severe refractory dyspnoea (DNRS score ≥7) at the time of administration of morphine and had not been relieved from standard care for the past 3 days. In the results, the mean (standard deviation [SD]) age was 47.1 (12) years, male was 13 (72.20%) patients and modified Medical Research Council Grade 4 was present in all 18 patients. The mean (SD) 1
