Craniofacial clefts are very rare congenital deformities. Tessier's numbering classification is a simple system universally accepted. Excluding cleft lip and palate, the transverse or lateral cleft (Tessier number 7) is the most common type of craniofacial cleft, manifesting macrostomia without skeletal abnormalities. We present a case of Tessier number 7 cleft with oblique clefting of the soft palate bilaterally and rare symmetric structures of the zygomatic arch.

Preoperative versus postoperative radiotherapy for localized soft tissue sarcoma treated with curative intent in a French tertiary center "SARCLOC".
BMC Cancer
December 2024
Department of Radiation Oncology, Centre Oscar Lambret, Lille, France.
Background: Soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities (E-STS) are rare and heterogeneous. Treatment combines surgery with preoperative or postoperative radiotherapy (RT) for deep, large, or high-grade tumors. We evaluate the effectiveness and toxicity in E-STS patients treated at our institution from 2015 to 2021.

Open Forum Infect Dis
December 2024
Division of Infectious Diseases and International Medicine, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.
Background: The Infectious Diseases Society of America recommends a screening dilated retinal examination by an ophthalmologist for all patients with candidemia. Conversely, the American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends against routine screening in patients with candidemia without symptoms.
Methods: In a collaborative effort between infectious diseases and ophthalmology, we examined the incidence of ocular complications in 308 patients with candidemia and subsequently measured the rate of fundoscopic examinations, risk factors for ocular complications, management changes, and outcomes.
Cardiac Rehabilitation for Prediabetes and Metabolic Syndrome Remission: Impact of Ultraprocessed Food-Intake Reduction and Time-Restricted Eating in the DIABEPIC-1 Study.
CJC Open
November 2024
Research Center and Centre ÉPIC, Montreal Heart Institute, Montréal, Québec, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- Cardiac rehabilitation programs can help patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) adopt healthier lifestyles, but there’s a need to explore strategies for reversing conditions like prediabetes and metabolic syndrome.
- The DIABEPIC-1 study evaluated a 6-month enhanced rehabilitation program combining exercise with nutritional interventions, such as a Mediterranean diet and reduced ultraprocessed food intake.
- Results showed high participation rates and significant health improvements, with half of the participants achieving prediabetes remission and 70% with metabolic syndrome also reaching remission by the end of the study.
True Median Cleft With Sinus Tract in the Nasal Septum: A Case Report.
Cleft Palate Craniofac J
November 2024
Department of Plastic Surgery, Cleft and Craniofacial Center, Shizuoka Children's Hospital, Shizuoka, Japan.
A true median cleft is an extremely rare congenital anomaly characterized by a midline vertical cleft and various deformities, also known as Tessier number 0 cleft. Here we report a case of a 5-year-old Asian boy with true median cleft associated with sinus tracts in the nasal septum, a phenomenon not previously reported in the literature. The tracts were identified as the cause of recurrent infections around the oral vestibule and upper lip.

Ken & Ruth Davee Department of Neurology, Northwestern University-Feinberg School of Medicine, 625 N. Michigan Ave, Suite 1150, Chicago, IL, 60611, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on the impact of an evidence-based sedation bundle for ICU patients requiring mechanical ventilation during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, addressing the challenges posed by increased patient volumes.
- - Researchers implemented the sedation bundle using structured training and feedback, aiming to encourage goal-directed sedation to prevent excessive use of sedatives among critically ill COVID-19 patients.
- - A comparison of sedative use and clinical outcomes was made between patients admitted before and after the bundle implementation, revealing increased use of benzodiazepines and changes in patient care metrics.
