There are a number of proposed causes and treatment approaches for digital mucoid cysts. The described treatment outcomes for this cyst have been variable, with the highest success rate reported with complete excision and single-lobe skin flap closure. This report describes a bilobed flap reconstruction in conjunction with resection of the head of the middle phalanx. A retrospective review was undertaken to evaluate the recurrence rate, complications, and patient satisfaction with this combined procedure. Fifteen patients with an average follow-up of 4.6 years were evaluated. There were no recurrences, flap failures, or other major complications. The use of this flap allows for greater exposure than traditional semi-elliptical incisions while allowing the wide excisional defects to be closed primarily.

Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is a common issue in children, particularly boys, and can be life-threatening. Early removal of the foreign body (FB) leads to recovery, but delayed diagnosis may cause complications such as granuloma, recurrent pneumonia, and atelectasis. This condition often results from a child's curiosity, with factors such as inadequate swallowing reflex and activity during eating contributing to the risk.

Background: Endobronchial tumors can infiltrate the bronchial wall or protrude into the bronchial lumen, causing post-obstructive pneumonia (POP). Differentiating between POP and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is challenging due to similar clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings, which can delay the diagnosis and treatment of endobronchial tumors.
Methods: We compared general demographic information, laboratory test results, lung CT images, bronchoscopic observations, pathological findings between the POP group and the CAP group.

Article Synopsis
- Four bacterial strains (dk4302, dk4209, xlx-73, xlx-183) were isolated from Tibetan gazelle and red swamp crawfish in China, characterized as Gram-negative, rod-shaped, and aerobic, with varying growth conditions related to temperature and salinity.
- Phylogenetic analysis identified two distinct clusters among the strains, with dk4302 and dk4209 closely related, while xlx-73 and xlx-183 were associated with M-SX103.
- Based on extensive research, two new species were proposed: sp. nov. for dk4302 and sp. nov. for xlx-73, emphasizing their uniqueness within their genus.
Radiation-free and injection-free imaging of the paediatric chest using a magnetic resonance imaging protocol including zero time echo sequence (3D-ZTE).

Unlabelled: Computed tomography (CT) is commonly used for paediatric thoracic diseases but involves radiation exposure and often requires intravenous contrast. We evaluated the performance of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol including a 3D zero echo time (3D-ZTE) sequence for radiation-free and contrast-free imaging of the paediatric chest. In this prospective, single-centre study, children aged 6-16 years underwent chest CT and MRI within 48 h.

Background: Mature cystic teratoma co-existing with a mucinous cystadenocarcinoma is a rare tumor that few cases have been reported until now. In these cases, either a benign teratoma is malignantly transformed into adenocarcinoma or a collision tumor is formed between a mature cystic teratoma and a mucinous tumor, which is either primarily originated from epithelial-stromal surface of the ovary, or secondary to a primary gastrointestinal tract tumor. The significance of individualizing the two tumors has a remarkable effect on further therapeutic management.
