Can jaw bone healed from chronic sclerosing osteomyelitis be considered healthy when planning dental implants? Case report with 20-year follow-up
CONCLUSION: This case report presents the treatment history of this patient. With a longitudinal observation period of greater than 20 years, the results of this case demonstrate the successful treatment of bone with CO, CSO, and Corynebacterium spp. infection. Following the removal of infected bone, radical debridement, and long-term antibiotic therapy, bone health was restored.PMID:38576989 | PMC:PMC10990345 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001826 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Outcome of surgical parathyroidectomy for tertiary hyperparathyroidism in kidney transplant recipients: tertiary hyperparathyroidism should not be ignored, for the sake of precious allografts
Ren Fail. 2024 Dec;46(1):2333919. doi: 10.1080/0886022X.2024.2333919. Epub 2024 Apr 4.ABSTRACTTertiary hyperparathyroidism is a complication of kidney transplantation. This complicated condition carries over from the dialysis period and varies according to the function of the transplanted allograft. Treatments include pharmacotherapy (mainly using calcimimetics) and parathyroidectomy, but calcimimetics are currently not covered by the national insurance system in Japan. Two types of parathyroidectomy can be performed: subtotal parathyroidectomy; and total parathyroidectomy with partial autograft. Both types can be expected...

Histological assessment of microtia cartilage, a potential source of autograft tissue in ear reconstruction
In this study, we evaluate the histological characteristics of microtia cartilage compared with normal auricular and costal cartilage obtained from human patients undergoing surgical resection. Histochemistry was used to evaluate cellularity, lipid content, and ECM content. Using a Bayesian statistical approach, we determined that while costal cartilage is the standard tissue donor, the microanatomy of microtia cartilage more closely reflects normal auricular cartilage than costal cartilage. Therefore, microtia cartilage may serve as an additional reservoir for cartilage during reconstruction.PMID:38574100 | DOI:10.1111/jo...

Outcomes and complications of surgical treatment modalities for simple bone cysts of the humerus in children and adolescents
ConclusionOpen procedures showed similar failure rates except for the subgroup using curettage, allograft, and adjuvants which showed significantly higher treatment failure. Promising results were observed in the group which received solely osteosynthesis without cyst excision or filling, as no treatment failure was observed here. (Source: International Orthopaedics)

Wound Management of Pediatric Burns
Semin Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1785215The goal for treating pediatric burns is to allow the patient to heal with as little scarring as possible. Compared to older children and adults, very small children have anatomic differences that alter their treatment. They have thinner skin that leads to a higher risk for full-thickness burns. Children also tend to freeze when touching a hot item, so that the prolonged contact also leads to deeper burns. Two healing strategies are needed to treat these wounds. One must optimize reepithelialization in superficial burns to reduce scarring. Deeper burns require skin grafting, but ...

AA Amyloidosis: A Contemporary View
AbstractPurpose of ReviewAmyloid A (AA) amyloidosis is an organ- or life-threatening complication of chronic inflammatory disorders. Here, we review the epidemiology, causes, pathogenesis, clinical features, and diagnostic and therapeutic strategies of AA amyloidosis.Recent FindingsThe incidence of AA amyloidosis has declined due to better treatment of the underlying diseases. Histopathological examination is the gold standard of diagnosis, but magnetic resonance imaging can be used to detect cardiac involvement. There is yet no treatment option for the clearance of amyloid fibril deposits; therefore, the management strate...
