[One-year outcomes after proximal humeral fractures : A risk-adjusted regression analysis of routine data based on 17,322 cases].

Background: Proximal humeral fractures (PHF) are the third most common fracture in geriatric traumatology. No standard evidence-based treatment has been established so far. The epidemiology and economic burden highlight the importance of a targeted treatment strategy.

Presternal bronchogenic sinus with predunculated lymphoid aggregate.

Congenital cranial, cervical, and upper thoracic sinuses are rare conditions that historically have been classified according to their location and/or pathology. However, published reports of bronchogenic or branchial anomalies are on the increase, and the traditional defining characteristics--location and histopathology--are proving to be less reliable. We describe the pathologic and clinical findings of a congenital presternal pedunculated lesion with a sinus, and review the literature to describe its proper classification.

Effective treatment of localized Darier's disease with adapalene 0.1% gel.

Darier's disease is an autosomal dominant disorder of keratinization that can produce unique clinical manifestations. Oral and topical retinoid products have been the mainstay therapy for this population, but local as well as systemic side effects often limit their effectiveness. A case of localized Darier's disease is presented that responded promptly and with no side effects to the topical application of adapalene 0.

Amyopathic dermatomyositis associated with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.

Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder is the most common tumor of the urinary tract. However, it has only been reported twice in the literature to be associated with the paraneoplastic syndrome dermatomyositis. We report a case of amyopathic dermatomyositis in a patient whose painless gross hematuria was due to transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder as well as review this association.
