Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) can decipher fine details that are otherwise impossible using diffraction-limited microscopy. Often, the reconstructed super-resolved images suffer from noise, strong background and are prone to false detections that may impact quantitative imaging. To overcome these limitations, we propose a technique (corrSMLM) that recognizes and detects fortunate molecules (molecules with long blinking cycles) from the recorded data.

Background: Adhesive capsulitis is a distressing ailment that progressively limits the active and passive mobility of the shoulder joint. Physical therapy (PT) combined with intra-articular steroid (IAS) injection and suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) has shown improved functional outcomes. We aimed to assess whether providing both IAS injection and SSNB improved outcomes compared with IAS injection alone.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to reassess the prevalence of tinea capitis (a fungal infection) among schoolchildren in Bouake city, 16 years after a previous study.
  • - A survey of 803 children aged 5 to 13 years was conducted, revealing a prevalence of 8.7% for suspected tinea capitis, with the most common fungi identified being Trichophyton soudanense and others.
  • - The findings indicated a decrease in tinea capitis cases compared to 2003, attributed to better living conditions and hygiene practices in the area.

Article Synopsis
  • Needle stick injuries (NSIs) are common among healthcare workers, with a 31% prevalence found in a study of 210 HCWs in a hospital in Kerala, India, where the intravenous cannula was the most involved device.
  • The study highlighted that older healthcare workers (above 31 years) were more likely to experience NSIs, suggesting a need for targeted safety measures for this group.
  • The results emphasize the necessity for improved documentation, adherence to safety protocols, and effective post-exposure prophylaxis to mitigate the risks associated with NSIs in the healthcare setting.

Introduction: Hand injuries, particularly those involving the fingers, are complex and often necessitate meticulous surgical interventions. Cross-finger flaps (CFFs) are a reliable technique for covering finger defects, with the choice of skin graft at the donor site playing a crucial role in the procedure's success. Split-thickness skin grafts (STSGs) and full-thickness skin grafts (FTSGs) are commonly used, each offering distinct advantages and drawbacks.
