Hereditary angioedema with C1 inhibitor deficiency (HAE-C1-INH) is a rare disorder characterized by recurrent, potentially life-threatening swelling in various parts of the body, including the limbs, face, and airways Current treatments focus primarily on symptomatic relief and the management of acute attacks, without targeting the underlying genetic cause or the dysregulated bradykinin production. Donidalorsen, a novel antisense oligonucleotide, addresses a key driver of HAE-C1-INH by targeting prekallikrein (PKK) to reduce bradykinin levels. This meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy and safety of Donidalorsen versus placebo, focusing on two dosing regimens: 4-week and 8-week intervals.

Article Synopsis
  • Plantar fascia (PF) is a common cause of foot pain for adults, and several surgical treatments exist for it.
  • A study involving 60 patients evaluated the effectiveness of three treatments: Needle Knife Therapy, Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy, and Conventional Painkillers, using VAS and AOFAS scores for analysis.
  • The results showed that Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy led to significantly lower pain scores compared to the other treatments, indicating it may be the most effective option for long-term pain relief and functional improvement.

Cranioplasty is a reconstructive neurosurgical procedure that fixes the cranial bone defects after the craniotomy for brain surgeries like tumours, aneurysms, arterio-venous malformations, subdural empyemas and hematomas. Personalized 3D-printed implants offer various advantages, including anatomical accuracy, functional restoration, time-sparing surgery, excellent cosmetic outcomes through their impeccable adjustment to cranial vault defects, and better clinical outcomes. PEEK has a meritorious profile in terms of high success rate, low complication rate, fracture resistance and low toxicity profile, high strength, high toughness, and excellent biocompatibility in cranioplasty.

Introduction And Importance: Radiation recall dermatitis (RRD) is a localized drug-induced inflammatory skin reaction occurring exclusively in a previously irradiated site months to years after discontinuation of ionizing radiation. The symptoms of RRD can range from mild redness to extensive dermatitis. Antineoplastic drugs such as doxorubicin, docetaxel, paclitaxel, and gemcitabine are most commonly associated with radiation recall reactions.
