Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on tendon injuries in complex wounds of the hand and lower extremities, exploring how different types of adipofascial tissue flaps affect healing and functional recovery.
  • It compares vascularised versus nonvascularised adipofascial flaps using Wistar Albino rats, assessing healing through scintigraphic evaluations and histopathological analysis.
  • Results indicate that vascularised flaps promote faster healing while pedicle-free flaps also aid tendon recovery without complications, providing insights for improving tendon repair techniques in reconstructive surgery.

Background: The alpha-emitting radionuclide therapy [Ra]RaCl (Radium-223) improves overall survival (OS) and time to symptomatic skeletal event (SSE) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Evidence suggests that the effect of Radium-223 is partly exerted through an impact on the surrounding bone matrix. We hypothesized that bone metabolism markers (BMM) could provide predictive information regarding response to Radium-223.

Non-traumatic bilateral acute subdural hematomas are a rare occurrence. Etiologies typically include, but are not limited to, cortical artery bleeding, vascular lesions, coagulopathies, and spontaneous intracranial hypotension. We report a case of a 45-year-old Korean male with no known co-morbid illnesses nor history of head or neck trauma, who came to the emergency department due to a 10-day history of dizziness and head heaviness, followed by disorientation and drowsiness.
