[State of digitalization in dermatopathology].

As in general pathology, digitalization is also inexorably making its way into dermatopathology. This article examines the current state of digitalization in German dermatopathology laboratories based on the authors' own experiences, the current study situation, and a survey of members of the Dermatological Histology Working Group (ADH). Experiences with the establishment of a digital laboratory workflow, artificial intelligence (AI)-based assistance systems, and whole slide images (WSI)-based training programs are discussed.

The effects of psychosocial aftercare following pediatric chronic pain treatment withstand the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic: long-term outcomes of a randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: Intensive interdisciplinary pain treatment (IIPT) is the best therapy available for children and adolescents affected by severe chronic pain. Psychosocial aftercare (PAC) offered for 6 months after IIPT can improve treatment outcomes for up to 12 months.

Objectives: The current study is the first to explore whether PAC is superior to treatment as usual at a long-term follow-up of 18 to 33 months after discharge-including when facing the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Spinal cord stimulation for the treatment of complex regional pain syndrome: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) is a widely recognized treatment for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), particularly in cases where traditional methods are ineffective. This paper systematically reviews randomized controlled trials to analyze the efficacy of SCS, as well as Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Stimulation in treating CRPS, focusing on its long-term effectiveness.

Methods: This systematic review focused exclusively on randomized controlled trials to assess a primary outcome of improvement in pain symptoms in patients diagnosed with CRPS.

Spatial separation of different drug substances in one microneedle array patch by combining inkjet printing and micromolding technology.

Transdermal drug delivery using microneedle array patches has been investigated using a wide range of drug substances. Inkjet printing and micromolding are established methods for the production of microneedle array patches and both were used to combine lisinopril embedded in povidone and ibuprofen in Eudragit® RS / RL in a single patch. Dissolution studies, visual inspection, mechanical strength and insertion into an artificial skin membrane model were investigated.

Histone variant H3.5 in testicular cell differentiation and its interactions with histone chaperones.

Testicular cell differentiation is a highly regulated process, essential for male reproductive health. The histone variant H3.5 is apparently a critical player in this intricate orchestra of cell types, but its regulation and function remains poorly understood.
