Intradermal Incobotulinum Toxin A for Postbreast Cancer Treatment Asymmetry: A Literature Review and Case Report.

Background: Botulinum toxin (BTX) is globally the most common aesthetic procedure. Its usage has expanded beyond facial treatments to therapeutic areas, including managing scars and postsurgical deformities. Breast cancer survivors often face significant deformities and asymmetry during recovery.

Calcium Hydroxyapatite as a Co-adjuvant Treatment Option in a Patient With Morphea: A Report of a Case With a One-Year Follow-Up.

Morphea, or localized scleroderma, is a chronic inflammatory condition that unequivocally affects the dermis and subcutaneous connective tissue. It undeniably causes significant disfigurement in approximately half of patients, profoundly impacting their self-esteem. The available treatment options include corticosteroids (taken orally or administered subcutaneously), phototherapy, CO fractional laser treatment, and biologically mediated medications.

Foods served at faith community events for children - Is there room for improvements in this unexplored child nutrition site?

Objective: To describe food and beverage provisions by Faith Communities from one denomination in association with events for children.

Design, Sample And Measures: Foods and beverages provided at 32 child-focused activities were documented using direct observation methodology and analyzed for contribution to food groups and per serving energy, fat, saturated fat, sugar, and sodium contents.

Results: Main dishes were mostly (71%) convenience/casserole-type foods, and averaged 962 mg sodium and 436 kcal, with 36% of energy from fat and 14% as saturated fat.

Carotidynia in high-altitude travelers.

Background Carotidynia is characterized by focal pain and tenderness of the carotid artery without associated hemodynamic or structural abnormalities. Carotid artery pathology has also been known to occur in high altitude due to aberrant baroreceptor response in the carotid bulb. Case Presentation We herein report two cases of high altitude-related idiopathic carotidynia.

[Low-low synovial vascular malformation of the knee (hemangiolymphangioma) - Case report].

Introduction: Low-flow vascular malformation, which usually develops during the first stage of infancy, is a rare cause of recurrent effusion of the knee. History, laboratory and X-rays are usually non-specific.

Objective: To describe a rare disease in pediatrics, emphasizing the correct classification and suspicion.

Surface APRIL Is Elevated on Myeloid Cells and Is Associated with Disease Activity in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Objective: To assess surface APRIL (a proliferation-inducing ligand; CD256) expression by circulating myeloid cells in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to determine its relationship to disease activity.

Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and plasma were obtained from patients with RA and healthy donors. PBMC were stained for flow cytometry to detect surface APRIL and blood cell markers to identify circulating myeloid cell subsets.

R-Ras glucosylation and transient RhoA activation determine the cytopathic effect produced by toxin B variants from toxin A-negative strains of Clostridium difficile.

Clostridium difficile induces antibiotic-associated diarrhea through the production of toxin A and toxin B; the former toxin has been assumed to be responsible for the symptoms of the disease. Several toxin A-negative strains from C. difficile have recently been isolated from clinical cases and have been reported to produce toxin B variants eliciting an atypical cytopathic effect.
