Article Synopsis
- * Diagnosis is made through medical history, clinical examination, and imaging, with pain and limited mobility as key symptoms; X-rays and CT scans help confirm the diagnosis and classify the type of pseudarthrosis.
- * Surgical treatment is typically needed for symptomatic cases, aiming to restore bone vitality and stability; while it has high healing rates, it also poses a higher risk of infection compared to nonoperative methods.
Background: As the most rapidly increasing neurodegenerative disease worldwide, Parkinson's disease is highly relevant to society. Successful treatment requires active patient participation.

Its rather exceptional behavior among all SFTs comprises a high tendency towards local recurrence, but it rarely culminates in metastatic disease. This raises the question of prognostic factors in orbital SFTs (oSFTs).

Methods: A total of 326 patients with complete clinical and radiological documentation treated for a central clavicle fracture at the author's department between January 1, 2012, and June 30, 2023, were included. Among these, 73 were female, and 253 were male in a mean age of 37.
Article Synopsis
- Tissue-resident lymphocytes play a crucial role in defending organs against pathogens, but their response to vaccines in humans is less understood.
- A study analyzed SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine-specific T cells from various organs and blood of largely virus-naive individuals, revealing higher numbers of specific CD4+ T cells in nonlymphoid tissues compared to blood.
- Findings suggest that vaccination leads to the development of memory T cells in organs far from the vaccination site, enhancing local immune protection in those tissues.
