Human herpesvirus type 6 in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
CONCLUSION: Although patients with SLE had a higher prevalence of HHV-6 compared with healthy people, there is no strong link between HHV-6 infection and SLE. Future research is necessary because this data does not support the hypothesis that human herpesvirus 6 plays a role in the pathogenesis of SLE.PMID:38682068 | PMC:PMC11055447 | DOI:10.18502/ijm.v16i1.14883 (Source: Iranian Journal of Microbiology)

Managing Severe Postburn Wrist Flexion Contracture by Proximal Row Carpectomy and Abdominal Interpolation Flap
Conclusion Proximal row carpectomy shortens the length of the wrist, resurfaces the wrist joint, and provides a release in tendons and other soft tissues. Together with soft tissue transfer, this technique can be used for severe wrist flexion contractures.PMID:38681246 | PMC:PMC11046275 | DOI:10.1177/22925503221107213 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Comparison of Intralesional Sodium Stibogluconate versus Intralesional Meglumine Antimoniate for the Treatment of Leishmania major Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
In conclusion, the 2 different medications have the same efficacy and safety for treating cutaneous leishmaniasis. Pentavalent antimoniate intralesional infiltration treatment is safe, effective, and well tolerated with minimal side effects for Old-World cutaneous leishmaniasis.PMID:38682801 | DOI:10.2340/actadv.v104.35089 (Source: Acta Dermato-Venereologica)

Spitz tumour with ALK rearrangement: A case report and literature review
Malays J Pathol. 2024 Apr;46(1):103-108.ABSTRACTSpitz tumour with ALK rearrangement is a recently described entity and a rare tumour. The incidence of Spitz tumour was estimated at 3.63 per 100,000 persons in American paediatric population; while there is no data in Asian population. Here we reported a case of an eleven-year-old Asian boy who presented with a left shin nodule of two months' duration. The skin biopsy revealed a Spitz tumour with predominantly spindle cell morphology arranged in fascicles, vertically orientated nests and radial growth pattern. Junctional component, melanin pigment or Kamino bodies were not i...

A piezoelectric-driven microneedle platform for skin disease therapy
Innovation (Camb). 2024 Apr 5;5(3):100621. doi: 10.1016/j.xinn.2024.100621. eCollection 2024 May 6.ABSTRACTWith over a million cases detected each year, skin disease is a global public health problem that diminishes the quality of life due to its difficulty to eradicate, propensity for recurrence, and potential for post-treatment scarring. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment with minimal invasiveness or scarring and few side effects, making it well tolerated by patients. However, this treatment requires further research and development to improve its effective clinical use. Here, a piezoelectric-driven microneedle (P...

A reinterpretation of human breast anatomy includes all the layers of the anterior body wall
Anat Rec (Hoboken). 2024 Apr 29. doi: 10.1002/ar.25456. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMammary glands define mammals as a group, yet a comprehensive anatomical description of the mammary gland does not exist for almost any mammalian species. In humans, the anatomical and surgical literature provide conflicting and incomplete descriptions of the gross anatomy of the breast. We dissected 9 male and 15 female human body donors to clarify this gross anatomy. We found that, like other epidermally derived glands of the body, the mammary glandular tissue is constrained to a membrane-bound, central structure referred to as the corp...

A new mechanism in negative pressure wound therapy: interleukin-17 alters chromatin accessibility profiling
In this study, skin wound-healing models were established, with administration of NPWT. Vimentin, collagen I, and MMP9 of skin tissues were detected by immunofluorescence (IF). Gene expression analysis of skin wound tissues was performed by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). Protein expression was assayed by a western blotting or IF assay, and mRNA levels were quantified by quantitative PCR. Chromatin accessibility profiles of fibroblasts following NPWT or IL-17 exposure were analyzed by ATAC-seq. In rat wound-healing models, NPWT promoted wound repair by promoting re-epithelialization, extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and prol...
