Published: April 2012

Dieterich disease is characterized by avascular necrosis of the metacarpal head. The recent literature has described surgical management of this condition relatively soon after its presentation. We present a case treated conservatively with a satisfactory outcome at 28 months.

Importance: Triple-negative breast cancer is an aggressive subtype with a high incidence in young patients, a high incidence in non-Hispanic Black women, and a high risk of progression to metastatic cancer, a devastating sequela with a 12- to 18-month life expectancy. Until recently, one strategy for treating early-stage triple-negative breast cancer was chemotherapy after surgery. However, it was not known whether the addition of immune therapy to postsurgery chemotherapy would be beneficial.

Background: Aarskog-Scott syndrome (AAS) is a rare condition with multiple congenital anomalies, caused by hemizygote variants in the gene. Its description was based mostly on old case reports, in whom a molecular diagnosis was not always available, or on small series. The aim of this study was to better delineate the phenotype and the natural history of AAS and to provide clues for the diagnosis and the management of the patients.

Importance: Nonresponse to hepatitis B vaccine is common among people with HIV, resulting in vulnerability to infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV).

Objective: To compare the seroprotection response achieved with a 2-dose (noninferiority, 10% margin) and a 3-dose hepatitis B vaccine with a cytosine phosphoguanine adjuvant (HepB-CpG vaccine) vs a conventional 3-dose hepatitis B vaccine with an aluminum hydroxide adjuvant (HepB-alum vaccine) in people with HIV and prior nonresponse to HepB-alum vaccine.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This phase 3, open-label, randomized clinical trial included people with HIV receiving antiretroviral therapy (CD4 cell count ≥100 cells/μL and HIV RNA <1000 copies/mL) without past or present serological evidence of having HBV or a response to hepatitis B vaccine.

Article Synopsis
  • Spatial memory and orientation issues are often early signs of dementia, making early detection important for effective treatment.
  • The study involved 135 participants with varying cognitive abilities, who were assessed using subjective and objective spatial orientation tests, ensuring they had normal vestibular function.
  • Results showed a significant correlation between self-reported spatial discomfort and actual spatial impairment, with cognitively impaired individuals experiencing greater discomfort and higher angular deviations in tasks demanding spatial transformation.

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is a group of diseases with joint limitations at two or more distinct joint levels at birth. Joint limitations are not progressive, but the functional consequences have a lifelong impact on patients. In this article we will present the results of our study aimed at evaluating the correlation between muscle fat infiltration on MRI and activity deficiencies and limitations in children with AMC.
