Focal dermal hypoplasia (FDH) is a rare multisystem condition in which developmental defects of the skin are associated with ocular, dental and skeletal abnormalities. Herein, we report an 8-year-old girl with FDH. Her body halves were asymmetric and she had linear cutaneous atrophy with yellow nodules on her extremities. Syndactylies of the third and fourth fingers of the right hand and second and third toes of the right foot were also observed. Histological examination revealed dermal hypoplasia and upward extension of the adipose tissue. Based on these observations, she was diagnosed with unilateral FDH.

Background: Leishmaniasis is a zoonotic disease caused by unicellular protozoa of the Leishmania genus. The infection can spread through zoonotic or anthroponotic transmission, depending on the species, with the phlebotomine sandfly serving as the primary vector. Leishmaniasis is endemic in tropical regions of Asia and Africa.

Background: Breast reconstruction is challenging in plastic surgery due to patient satisfaction with the aesthetic result and durability of the implant. Over time, different techniques have been proposed, ranging from the use of autologous tissues to silicone implants and permanent expanders (PEs), the latter continuing to be the subject of scientific debate. The aim of this review was to assess the effectiveness of one-stage surgery breast reconstruction using PE.

A multi-system approach that includes the continuous collection of electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings facilitates a comprehensive assessment of electrical activity in the brain and heart, particularly leading up to and surrounding episodic events. Building on our previous protocol that facilitates the collection of intermittent EEG/ECG recordings from conscious restrained rabbits, we developed a protocol for the collection of continuous EEG/ECG recordings from unrestrained rabbits. This new method enables high-quality 24/7 recordings in the housing cage, which captures the normal range of physiological states and enables the rabbits to move, eat, drink, and sleep freely.
