- Chronic superficial venous disease, which includes conditions like superficial venous insufficiency and thrombosis, affects millions globally.
- Recent advances in minimally invasive procedures have improved access to outpatient treatments for chronic venous insufficiency.
- Guidelines for appropriateness of care help healthcare providers and patients make informed decisions about elective interventions based on the best available evidence.
Thermoregulation is critical for survival across species. In animals, the nervous system detects external and internal temperatures, integrates this information with internal states, and ultimately forms a decision on appropriate thermoregulatory actions. Recent work has identified critical molecules and sensory and motor pathways controlling thermoregulation.

- There is currently no FDA-approved treatment for pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP), and many patients do not see improvement with existing systemic therapies, highlighting the potential role of interleukin-23 as a therapeutic target.
- This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of guselkumab, an IL-23p19 inhibitor, in improving PRP symptoms and to explore related gene and protein dysregulation.
- The trial involved 14 adults, with results showing significant improvements in skin severity and quality of life, where 75% of participants experienced meaningful clinical responses by the end of the 24-week treatment period.

Article Synopsis
- A real-time 3D Telemedicine system was developed using Microsoft’s Holoportation™ to facilitate international medical team meetings for complex reconstructive surgeries, enabling pre, during, and post-surgical consultations.
- A proof-of-concept clinic involving UK and Ghanaian medical facilities assessed patients and surgical plans, providing a 3D visual experience for patients and enhancing logistical discussions.
- Feedback from participants indicated high satisfaction and usability ratings, demonstrating the potential for this technology to improve surgical collaboration and patient care in low-to-middle-income countries.
