Hypertrophic scar (HTS) remains a comorbidity of burn injury, often requiring split thickness skin grafting (STSG) and resulting in symptomatic HTS at grafted sites and STSG donor sites (DS). Literature supports the use of ablative fractional CO2 laser (FLSR) to treat HTS, however many trials lack of control sites and tissue-level examinations. Given the widespread adoption of FLSR for HTS, delegation of non-treated scar sites for the sake of randomized controlled trial (RCT) is troubling for many clinicians.

Introduction: Fertility counselling on options for fertility preservation is increasingly implemented for children and adolescents at time of cancer diagnosis. Sperm cryopreservation has been standard of care for male patients during several decades and the procedure is not expected to delay the onset of cancer treatment. However, oocyte cryopreservation in female adolescents remains controversial, the reasons include the need of ovarian stimulation, gynecological exams and interventions, in all a potentially distressing experience for patients without previous experience of this type of examination or without previous sexual debut.

Introduction: Animal health is essential to ensure the highest level of animal welfare and to conserve resources. Especially in naturally ventilated barns, the airborne entry of pathogens is difficult to avoid. For instance, birds in naturally ventilated turkey barns are frequently infected by highly pathogenic avian influenza and the airborne route may play a role.

Gene selection is crucial for cancer classification using microarray data. In the interests of improving cancer classification accuracy, in this paper, we developed a new wrapper method called ieGENES for gene selection. First we proposed a parsimonious kernel machine regularization (PKMR) model by using ridge regularization in kernel machine driven classification to tackle multi-collinearity for the sake of stable estimates in high-dimensional settings.
