COVID-19 Pandemic and Autism Spectrum Disorder, Consequences to Children and Adolescents - a Systematic Review.

Unlabelled: In this systematic review, we aimed to identify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children/adolescents with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The protocol was registered on PROSPERO CRD42021255848. Articles were selected from PubMed, Embase, and LILACS according to these characteristics: patients from zero to 18 years old, exposed to the COVID-19 pandemic, impact on social communication/interaction and restricted/repetitive behavior domains.

Does the Nail Bed Regenerate?

Background: The regenerative potential of the nail bed after trauma remains controversial.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 51 patients who underwent nail bed reconstruction with 2 techniques (direct flow island flap or a Tranquilli-Leali "Atasoy" flap) due to trauma involving the nail bed complex. These 2 flaps were used to support the loss of distal substance and to allow the regeneration of the nail bed.
