Article Synopsis
  • Actinic keratoses (AKs) are precancerous skin growths caused by UV exposure, and they can develop into cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
  • Recent research demonstrated that GZ21T, a topical formulation containing GZ17-6.02, effectively decreased both the number and size of AK lesions in a mouse model while also preventing progression to squamous cell carcinoma.
  • The treatment worked by suppressing multiple cellular signaling pathways and proteins linked to tumor growth and promoting autophagy, which aids in cellular cleanup.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and is characterized by epidermotrophism of malignant CD4+ T-lymphocytes. When MF advances to a recurrent stage, patients require treatment with systemic therapies such as vorinostat, a histone deacetylase inhibitor. While vorinostat has been shown to exhibit anti-tumor activity in MF, its exact molecular mechanism has yet to be fully discerned.

Background The tibiofibular line (TFL) technique was initially proposed to assess syndesmosis reduction. Clinical utility was limited by low observer reliability when applied to all fibulas. This study aimed to refine this technique by describing TFL's applicability to various fibula morphologies.

Bifid mandibular condyle (BMC) is splitting the mandibular condyle into two separate articular surfaces. The etiology is poorly understood, but trauma and developmental issues are currently the most cited causes. Though most often asymptomatic, occasionally, this condition may cause the development of jaw pain, clicking, and restriction of motion.

Background: When intraoperative computed tomography (CT) is unavailable, open syndesmosis assessment is a universally available, safe alternative that is more accurate than radiographic assessment. However, it has a documented malreduction rate of up to 16%. This may be improved upon with a validated technique for assessing the accuracy of open syndesmosis reductions.
