An accessory tarsal navicular ossicle may produce pain and tenderness despite conservative treatment modalities. This condition causes pain along the medial arch and limitations of activities. This described modification of the Kidner procedure and simple excision technique keeps the tendon insertion intact while restoring some of the normal biomechanical relationships. In addition, this modification has the theoretical advantage of enhancing dynamic support of the longitudinal arch, and by maintaining the continuity of the posterior tibial tendon, a shorter period of immobilization is required. All patients at the most recent follow-up showed improvement, with 11 of 13 patients having excellent results with long-term follow-up.

Chondrocutaneous Custom-made Graft for Upper Lateral and Alar Cartilage Nose Reconstruction: The T Graft.

Upper lateral cartilage and alar cartilage nose reconstruction secondary to failed aesthetic procedure or tumor excision, surely represents a reconstructive challenge for plastic surgeons, because of the support needed and for the function of the internal nasal valve (INV). Several scientific publications deal with internal nasal reconstructive techniques, including simple homologous or heterologous tissue grafts. We describe a new hybrid chondrocutaneous graft used for reconstruction of the upper lateral cartilage and a portion of the alar cartilage (cephalic part), excised with the adherent nasal mucosa (in correspondence with INV), included in the tumor mass.

Background: The medial epicanthal fold is a common ethnic trait in East Asian faces, and there is a significant demand for its correction for cosmetic reasons. Numerous epicanthoplasty techniques have been proposed; however, visible scarring and unnatural canthal shapes have been challenges. This study aimed to introduce a simpler approach for medial epicanthoplasty to address these issues and evaluate its outcomes.

Ionizing radiation induces various types of DNA damage, and the reparability and lethal effects of DNA damage differ depending on its spatial density. Elucidating the structure of radiation-induced clustered DNA damage and its repair processes will enhance our understanding of the lethal impact of ionizing radiation and advance progress toward precise therapeutics. Previously, we developed a method to directly visualize DNA damage using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and classified clustered DNA damage into simple base damage clusters (BDCs), complex BDCs and complex double-strand breaks (DSBs).

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) accounts for 80% of skin cancer cases. Although mostly curable by simple excision, the treatment of advanced disease can be challenging, as curative surgery or radiotherapy may not always be feasible. The scope of this review is to summarize current knowledge on molecular mechanisms in BCC pathogenesis, to elaborate on the definition of advanced/difficult-to-treat BCC, and to outline systemic treatment options.
