Experts have widely discussed rhinophyma treatment, proposing and testing various therapies over the years. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the aesthetic outcomes of patients undergoing the cold blade technique at the Department of Plastic Surgery and ablative fractional carbon dioxide (CO) laser treatment at the Department of Dermatology at Zealand University Hospital. We assessed rhinophyma severity using the RHISI scale with pre-and post-operative photographs evaluated by senior consultants from each department, who were blinded to the treatment method.

Methods: Patients who underwent PRC with interposition arthroplasty between 2010 and 2022 at a single institution were identified. Preoperative and postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) pain, functional outcomes, and complications were recorded.
Over the past decade, treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) has been implemented in cancer treatment. It has led to a significant improvement in the prognosis for many types of cancer. ICIs work by inducing the body's immune response against cancer cells.

Methods: We assessed DNA ploidy by image cytometry and PTEN protein expression by immunohistochemistry in 3197 tumour-containing tissue blocks from 558 patients followed in AS at a Norwegian local hospital.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate whether a single intra-articular corticosteroid injection affects the development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis and joint space width in patients with distal radius fractures (DRF).
- Forty patients were randomly assigned to receive either dexamethasone or a saline placebo shortly after their fracture, with follow-up assessments for joint space and other wrist function metrics at various intervals over two years.
- Results showed no significant differences in joint space width or functional outcomes between the corticosteroid and placebo groups at the 2-year mark, indicating corticosteroid injections may not impact osteoarthritis development after DRF.
