Lipedematous scalp (LS) and lipedematous alopecia (LA) are rare conditions involving focal or diffuse hyperplasia within subcutaneous adipose tissue of the scalp. Little is known regarding the etiology of these conditions, and there is no consensus on management strategies. Overall, the condition is benign and often isolated.

- - The study investigated how well veterans receiving opioid therapy followed clinical guidelines, comparing those who used only VA services (mono users) to those who also used community care (dual-system users).
- - High overall adherence rates (over 90%) to guidelines were found in both groups, although specific recommendations, like urine drug screening, were less consistently followed (8.9% for mono users, 11.2% for dual users).
- - The study indicated no clear trend in adherence between the two user types but noted an increase in overall guideline adherence from 2015 to 2019, suggesting a need for further research into coordination among dual-system users.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on afebrile infants under 60 days old who received dermatology consultations specifically for pustules and/or vesicles across six academic centers from 2013 to 2019.
- Out of 879 consultations, 183 infants were assessed; none showed serious bacterial infections, but 9 were diagnosed with herpes simplex virus (HSV) and 5 preterms had angioinvasive fungal infections.
- The findings indicate that for full-term afebrile infants, the risk of serious skin-related infections is low if HSV is ruled out, while preterm infants require thorough investigation due to higher risks.
Background: Quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF) is used for the noninvasive diagnosis of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). This study compared traditional statistics, machine learning, and deep learning techniques in their ability to diagnose disease using only the rest and stress MBF values.
Methods: This study included 3245 rest and stress rubidium-82 positron emission tomography (PET) studies and matching diagnostic labels from perfusion reports.
In Chlamydomonas, the channel polycystin 2 (PKD2) is primarily present in the distal region of cilia, where it is attached to the axoneme and mastigonemes, extracellular polymers of MST1. In a smaller proximal ciliary region that lacks mastigonemes, PKD2 is more mobile. We show that the PKD2 regions are established early during ciliogenesis and increase proportionally in length as cilia elongate.
