Background: Agnathia-otocephaly complex (AOC) is a rare and complex craniofacial malformation characterized by mandibular hypoplasia or agnathia, auricular fusion, microstomia with oroglossal hypoplasia or aglossia. It has a very bad prognosis and can arise alone or in conjunction with heart defects and forebrain abnormalities.

Case Report: A standard second-trimester ultrasound exam was recommended for, a 23-year-old primigravida woman who was at 22 weeks gestation.

Cigarette Smoke Exposure Impairs Fracture Healing in a Rat Model: Preferential Impairment of Endochondral Over Membranous Healing.

J Biomech Eng

January 2025

Department of Orthopaedics and Physical Medicine, Medical University of South Carolina, Bioengineering Building 227, 68 President Street, Charleston, SC 29425; Department of Orthopaedics, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, 1 Medical Center Drive, Lebanon, NH 03756.

Article Synopsis
  • Cigarette smoking negatively impacts the healing process of fractures, specifically delaying healing and increasing the risk of nonunion.
  • The study tested how cigarette smoke affects two types of bone healing (intramembranous vs. endochondral) using rat models with femur fractures treated with different methods.
  • Results showed that fractures treated with compression plating healed faster and more completely than those treated with intramedullary nailing, particularly in smoke-exposed animals, suggesting better surgical outcomes for smokers if compression plating is used.*

Insulin-Like Growth Factor-Binding Protein 5 Promotes the Cell Proliferation and Osteogenic Potential of Dental Pulp Stem Cells Dependent on Its Nuclear Localisation Sequence.

J Oral Rehabil

December 2024

Beijing Key Laboratory of Tooth Regeneration and Function Reconstruction, Beijing Stomatological Hospital, School of Stomatology, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.

Objectives: Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) have been extensively used for tissue regeneration owing to their notable capabilities. Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) regulates osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs); however, the underlying regulatory mechanisms require further investigation.

Materials And Methods: Carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester, an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay and Alizarin Red staining were used to reveal the role of IGFBP5 in DPSCs.

The bone marrow overproduces immature cells in the malignancy known as Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). In the United States, about 6500 occurrences of ALL are diagnosed each year in both children and adults, comprising nearly 25% of pediatric cancer cases. Recently, many computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) systems have been proposed to aid hematologists in reducing workload, providing correct results, and managing enormous volumes of data.
