Varicella is a common disease characterized by a typical presentation. We report a case of an atypical presentation of varicella with a centrifugal distribution, eruption with many vesicles, no pustular stage in evolution and distal involvement. There were none of the known modifying factors (immunosuppression, skin disease, injury or sun exposure). To explain the distal involvement we suggest intraepidermic lesions caused by a pre-existing B1 coxsackie infection.

Anatomical analysis of the periosteal blood supply system of the fibula using fresh cadavers.

A vascularized free fibula flap is often used to reconstruct bone defects. However, bone resorption within the osteotomized segment is often observed. This may be attributed to damage to bone blood flow supplied by nonpenetrating periosteal vessels (NPPVs); however, there are few studies on NPPVs in the fibula.

Pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis (PFT), also known as septic or suppurative flexor tenosynovitis, is a closed-space infection of the hand's flexor tendon sheath that necessitates timely diagnosis and treatment. The treatment consists of antibiotic therapy often combined with prompt surgical treatment. The most common surgical approach is the closed irrigation technique, which involves inserting a 16-gauge angiocatheter in the proximal aspect of the flexor tendon sheath, leaving the distal end of the Brunner incision open during the irrigation process.

Objective: The surgical team in this study examined the efficacy of a modified reverse sural neurocutaneous flap repair in treating soft tissue defects of the ankle and foot caused by accidents.
Methods: This study enrolled 89 patients treated for soft tissue defects of the ankle or foot between January 2007 and December 2023. The patients were divided into two groups: 44 patients underwent a modified reverse sural neurocutaneous flap repair, while 45 received traditional treatment.
Three-dimensional Finite Element Analysis of Implant Prosthesis After Mandibular Reconstruction by Upper Distal Free Double-Barrel Fibula.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial & Head and Neck Oncology, Capital Medical University School of Stomatology, Beijing, China.
Objective: This study aimed to compare the biomechanics of implant prostheses and peri-implant bone among 6 different mandibular reconstruction models based on patient data involving the use of an upper free-end double-barrel fibula.
Methods: This study was an observational study. Five models were reconstructed using fibular-supported and implant-supported partial dentures.

Early events in the reprogramming of fibroblasts to cardiac muscle cells are unclear. While various histone undergo modification and re-positioning, and these correlate with the activity of certain genes, it is unknown if these events are causal or happen in response to reprogramming. Histone modification and re-positioning would be expected to open up chromatin on lineage-specific genes and this can be ascertained by studying nucleosome architecture.
