[Autologous nanofat transplantation for scar treatment].

Damaging the normal skin barrier results in a cascade of reactions resulting in scar formation. Transforming growth factors cause the proliferation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts, which keep secreting collagen. There are indications, that the proliferation might be inhibited by adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC).

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure with head cap fixation as a contributing factor to extensive scalp necrosis in a preterm neonate with early-onset sepsis and scalp hematoma.

Background: Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is widely used in the treatment and prevention of respiratory distress in preterm neonates, with only few severe adverse skin effects reported.

Case Presentation: A preterm neonate was born at 34 + 1 weeks of gestation, birth weight 1860 g, and presented with early-onset sepsis (EOS) and scalp hematoma. He developed respiratory distress day 2 after birth.

FDG PET/CT in cancer: comparison of actual use with literature-based recommendations.

Purpose: The Region of Southern Denmark (RSD), covering 1.2 of Denmark's 5.6 million inhabitants, established a task force to (1) retrieve literature evidence for the clinical use of positron emission tomography (PET)/CT and provide consequent recommendations and further to (2) compare the actual use of PET/CT in the RSD with these recommendations.

Latissimus dorsi cardiomyoplasty: a chronic experimental porcine model. Feasibility study of cardiomyoplasty in Danish Landrace pigs and Göttingen minipigs.

Cardiomyoplasty is an experimental treatment for end-stage heart failure. We hypothesized that the porcine latissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) in an experimental porcine model is a suitable surrogate for a clinically relevant evaluation of this concept. Fourteen Danish Landrace (DL) pigs and six Göttingen minipigs (GM) were studied.
