Duodenal atresia is identified prenatally in up to 60% of cases, and intestinal obstructions often present with signs, including difficulty feeding, emesis (particularly in the first 24 to 48 hours of life), abdominal distension, and inability to pass meconium in the immediate postnatal period. In this article, we present a simulated case of a neonate with trisomy 21 who presented at age 2 weeks for evaluation of poor weight gain and feeding intolerance and was diagnosed with duodenal atresia. Imaging is the mainstay of diagnosis and imaging modalities, such as abdominal radiographs or upper gastrointestinal studies, will reveal a \"double bubble\" sign. This sign indicates proximal dilation of the duodenum and stomach, suggesting duodenal atresia. Management often involves surgical correction to bypass the obstruction and parenteral nutrition, as enteral feeds are often introduced slowly postoperatively. Early diagnosis and a collaborative multidisciplinary approach are vital to successful treatment.

Infants who are premature and extremely low birth weight (ELBW) are at increased risk for fungal infections due to their fragile skin barrier, immature immune systems, disruption of normal flora with antibiotic exposure, presence of central catheters, and corticosteroid use. In neonates, most invasive fungal infections are caused by the Candida species. Infections from other fungal species, such as Aspergillus, are rare. The case presented in this article describes an infant who is ELBW born at 23 weeks' gestation and their course with severe cutaneous A. fumigatus infection requiring multiple surgical debridement procedures. These fungal infections require a high index of suspicion for prompt identification and early treatment. Primary cutaneous aspergillosis should be suspected in high-risk infants with rapidly progressive ulcerative or necrotic skin lesions.

Among these, congenital goiter (a rare yet significant entity) stands out due to its implications for neonatal thyroid function and overall development. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of congenital neck masses, with a particular focus on congenital goiter, its pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and management strategies. Congenital neck masses are frequently identified during prenatal ultrasounds, with fetal magnetic resonance imaging serving as a critical tool for evaluating their size, location, and impact on surrounding anatomy. In cases of potential airway obstruction, multidisciplinary delivery planning, including the possibility of an ex-utero intrapartum treatment procedure, is essential. Management of congenital goiter centers on correcting the underlying etiology, achieving euthyroidism through hormone replacement or maternal medication adjustment, and, in rare cases, surgical intervention to address airway compromise.

Despite significant scientific progress during the past 2 centuries linking diet, the microbiome, and overall health, modern challenges persist due to sociocultural factors, aggressive food marketing, and insufficient nutritional education. However, there is increasing support from health systems, insurers, nonprofits, philanthropic organizations, and government bodies to develop health policies that promote access to high-quality meals for disease prevention and management. Culinary medicine is now incorporated into undergraduate and postgraduate medical education through electives, certifications in culinary and lifestyle medicine, and continuing medical education conferences. There is substantial potential for culinary medicine to enhance patient care across diverse populations and settings, including individual consultations, group visits, schools, farms, and community gardens. Collaborative efforts among stakeholders can advance practical solutions to translate scientific knowledge into effective policy and practice.
