Genetic Evidence for Congenital Vascular Disorders in Patients with VACTERL Association
Conclusion Our results indicate a genetic background for congenital vascular disorders in patients with VACTERL association. In line with the literature, our data suggest that genetic mutation led to vascular diseases, which in turn may cause malformations similar to the VACTERL association.

Globalization in Pediatric Surgical Training: The Benefit of an International Fellowship in a Low-to-Middle –Income Country Academic Hospital
Conclusion An international fellowship in a high-volume subspecialized unit in an LMIC can be highly beneficial for HIC trainees, allowing exposure to higher caseload, opportunity to operate independently, and to receive a wider exposure to the different fields of pediatric surgery. The associated benefit for the local trainees is some reduction in their clinical responsibilities due to the additional workforce, providing them with the opportunity for protected academic and research time.

Long-Term Outcomes and Health-Related Quality of Life in a Swiss Patient Group with Esophageal Atresia
Conclusion Long-term complications among patients with repair of EA in Switzerland are common. HRQoL in underage patients is good and general well-being of their parents is unimpaired. Adult patients reported a reduced HRQoL, consistent with other reports. As long-term complications may manifest only later in life, a structured follow-up of patients with an EA repair during childhood and adolescence is needed.

Determination of Factors to Distinguish MIS-C from Acute Appendicitis in Children with Acute Abdominal Pain
Conclusion The duration of abdominal pain, presence of high-grade and prolonged fever, and evaluation of hemogram in terms of high neutrophil count and low LC exhibit high sensitivity and negative predictive value for MIS-C presenting with AAP. In case of doubt, inflammatory markers such as CRP, ferritin, D-dimer, and serology for SARS-CoV-2 should be studied to confirm the diagnosis.

The Role of Exosomes in the Treatment, Prevention, Diagnosis, and Pathogenesis of COVID-19
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1731294The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), continues to be a major health concern. In search for novel treatment strategies against COVID-19, exosomes have attracted the attention of scientists and pharmaceutical companies worldwide. Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles, secreted by all types of cells, and considered as key mediators of intercellular communication and stem-cell paracrine signaling. Herein, we reviewed the most recent literature about the role of exosomes as potential a...
