We present a 72-year-oldpatient with probable diffuse Lewy body disease and visual hallucinations, who developed subacute reversible "dropped head syndrome" and parkinsonian signs after the introduction of olanzapine at a total daily dose of 10 mg. One week after olanzapine was withdrawn, the patient's posture started to improve. Further improvement was achieved after dopaminergic substitution. Clinical and electrophysiological observations might indicate neck extensor myopathy due to axial rigidity or focal neck dystonia, induced by dopamine receptor blockade.

Latissimus Dorsi Tendon Transfer and Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: Restoring Mechanical Advantage by Transfer Posterior to the Long Head of the Triceps Tendon.

Background: Patients undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for rotator cuff arthropathy may present with an external rotation (ER) lag due to posterior rotator cuff insufficiency. As a result, the addition of a latissimus dorsi (LD) tendon transfer in combination with RSA has become increasingly utilized. Initial descriptions of LD tendon transfer involved rerouting of the LD tendon posterior to the long head of the triceps tendon.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most frequent type of oral malignancy with high metastasis and poor prognosis. The deubiquitinating enzyme Ubiquitin Specific Peptidase 44 (USP44) regulates the mitotic checkpoint, and its deficiency leads to aneuploidy and increases tumor incidence. However, the role of USP44 in OSCC is not well understood.

Radiotherapy is an integral modality in treating human cancers, but radioresistance remains a clinical challenge due to the involvement of multiple intrinsic cellular and extrinsic tumour microenvironment factors that govern radiosensitivity. To study the intrinsic factors that are associated with cancer radioresistance, we established 4 radioresistant prostate (22Rv1 and DU145) and head and neck cancer (FaDu and HK1) models by irradiating their wild-type parentals to 90 Gy, mimicking the fractionated radiotherapy schema that is often using in the clinic, and performed whole exome and transcriptome sequencing of the radioresistant and wild-type models. Comparative genomic analyses detected the enrichment of mismatch repair mutational signatures (SBS6, 14, 15, 20) across all the cell lines and several non-synonymous single nucleotide variants involved in pro-survival pathways.

Background: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is considered a promising surgical procedure, and several studies have reported its advantages in improving shoulder elevation. However, patients undergoing RTSA may still experience challenges related to rotational movements. While external rotation may be improved with lateralization, internal rotation may occasionally deteriorate after RTSA.

Smart shape-memory DNA hydrogels, which can respond to various types of external stimuli and undergo macroscopic shape deformations, have shown great potential in various applications. By constructing free-standing films, the deformation and response properties of these hydrogels can be further enhanced, and visualized deformation can be achieved. However, DNA hydrogels that can exhibit rapid and high-degree shape deformations, such as the inverse shape deformations, are still lacking.
