Localized lipoatrophy is a rare condition characterized by the localized loss of subcutaneous adipose tissue. It may occur idiopathically without specific triggers. The pathogenesis of idiopathic localized lipoatrophy remains largely unknown.

Methods: Of 125 cases of traumatic anterior instability surgery from January 2017 to November 2019, 66 patients (52 men, 14 women; 23.
Article Synopsis
- Preoperative CT scans help assess bone structure for treating shoulder instability, and the new ZTE MRI technique may offer lower radiation exposure and costs by evaluating shoulder anatomy without traditional imaging.
- A study involving 36 patients compared glenoid morphology and the detection of bony Bankart lesions using both CT and ZTE MRI, finding strong correlation and diagnostic accuracy rates.
- Results showed similar percentages of glenoid bone loss on both imaging methods, with CT outperforming ZTE in identifying bony Bankart lesions, demonstrating higher accuracy and clearer distinction in fragment sizes between groups studied.
Background: Drug-induced pneumonia, especially immune-related adverse events, can sometimes be fatal, and it is crucial to seize the signs for early treatment. A clinical trial (ATTRACTION-4) reported no cases of grade 4 or 5 pneumonia or interstitial lung disease associated with nivolumab plus S-1 and oxaliplatin. However, we encountered two cases of fatal pneumonia induced by this regimen.

- A study on long COVID identified cough and sputum as common symptoms that persist in recovering patients, particularly linked to the severity of their acute COVID-19 infection.
- Researchers collected data from hospitalized patients across 26 medical institutions and analyzed their symptoms over one year.
- Key risk factors for prolonged cough and sputum included older age, smoking, and the use of intermittent mandatory ventilation during hospitalization, highlighting the need for improved prevention and treatment strategies.
