ABSTRACT Background: Fetus-in-fetu (FIF) is an exceedingly rare condition, characterized by a fetal-like or fetiform mass with a calcified vertebral axis surrounded by other organs or limbs. This systematic review was conducted to comprehensively analyze the clinicopathological attributes, management strategies, and prognosis of FIF to consolidate existing knowledge on FIF. Methodology: Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, a comprehensive search was performed across various electronic databases, using the keywords 'fetus-in-fetu,' 'fetus-ex-fetus,' 'homunculus,' or 'fetiform teratoma' to look for published articles until December 2023. Data extraction and analysis were carried out for cases meeting the defined criteria for FIF diagnosis, that is 'presence of both/either the vertebral column and/or long bones of extremities' and 'absence of immature elements.' Results: A total of 249 case reports/case series comprising 241 single FIF cases and 33 multiple FIF cases were included for analysis. The majority of single FIF cases presented within the 1[sup.st] year of life, with a slight male predominance. Retroperitoneal location was most common, and imaging modalities played a crucial role in preoperative diagnosis. Complete surgical removal of the mass with detailed histopathological examination is the cornerstone of treatment for FIF, with favorable outcomes in the majority of cases. Both mature and immature teratoma can rarely be found in association with FIF. Conclusion: This comprehensive systematic review enhances understanding of FIF, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis by diligent histopathological examination, appropriate management, and vigilant postoperative monitoring for favorable outcomes.

We present a 65-year-old man with multiple myeloma who developed a rare complication of pleural effusion. Initial laboratory results showed elevated creatinine, calcium, and protein electrophoresis with an M spike. A bone marrow biopsy confirmed 80% plasma cells. Despite the rarity of pleural effusion in patients with multiple myeloma, our patient demonstrated significant improvement with targeted therapy and palliative care. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and management of pleural effusion in patients with multiple myeloma and underscores the need for further research into optimal management strategies and underlying mechanisms., Introduction Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells that produces monoclonal proteins (M protein). The term multiple myeloma originates from the Greek words myelos, meaning 'marrow,' and oma, meaning [...]

Advances in classroom behavior management mobile applications (CBM apps) have led some teachers to use them to supplement their existing student management strategies, although little is known about their effectiveness in facilitating behavior change. This systematic review aimed to identify and appraise research on the effectiveness of CBM apps for promoting positive behavioral and learning outcomes of elementary, middle, and high school students. A systematic search was conducted in the PsycINFO, ERIC, and EBSCOhost databases for articles published between 2007 and 2020. The 15 included studies provided some preliminary evidence for CBM apps. Apps were primarily used to facilitate the delivery of self-monitoring interventions (SCORE IT and I-Connect) or class-wide reinforcement systems (ClassDojo and the Classroom Behavior Management System). An evaluation of study quality using the What Works Clearinghouse design standards (version 5.0) yielded mixed results, with only 53% of the included studies meeting standards with or without reservations. In general, these studies showed limited risk of bias and moderate to strong effect sizes. Based on the findings of the review, we provide practice recommendations and describe areas for future research., Author(s): Sharon R. Mittiga [sup.1], Nerelie C. Freeman [sup.1], Erin S.
