Unlabelled: We present in this original article a histological study of surgical skin residues.
Aim Of The Study: This study was realized in order to show, in objective way, skin diversity according to sex, age and area, and to illustrate some current surgical practices of our speciality.
Patients And Method: Two years along, 141 patients was selected, 69 Men and 72 women. Fifty-four biopsies were realized on the upper extremity, 34 on the trunk and 53 on legs and arms. The histological study was based on two steps; the first one was a classic quantitative study, with measurement of each cutaneous layer, and objective evaluation of elastic density in superficial dermis. The second one was a descriptive histological analysis of each cutaneous area.
Results: The results coming from the quantitative analysis, allowed us to establish a classification of all the areas, according to each parameter. These results are globally compliant to the literature. The results of the descriptive analysis, lead us to conclude that it exists a lot of different skins with regional specificities. Then the crossover of the two analyses allowed us to define good practices tricks, in order to choose the best reconstruction technique for each area.
Conclusion: This study is just a rough draft of a dynamic skin cartography adapted to our surgery. But it allowed us to confirm our basic premise: it doesn't exist only one skin but many skins.

Gender Disparities and Lung Cancer Screening Outcomes Among Individuals Who Have Never Smoked.

Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam, Republic of Korea.
Importance: Lung cancer in individuals who have never smoked (INS) is a growing global concern, with a rapidly increasing incidence and proportion among all lung cancer cases. Particularly in East Asia, opportunistic lung cancer screening (LCS) programs targeting INS have gained popularity. However, the sex-specific outcomes and drawbacks of screening INS remain unexplored, with data predominantly focused on women.

Noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) can be differentiated from invasive encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (eFV-PTC) by the presence of a tumor capsule or blood vessel invasion in histological examination. The objective of this study was to investigate whether it is possible to distinguish between NIFTP and invasive eFV-PTC before surgery. Patients diagnosed with NIFTP and invasive eFV-PTC from 2017 to 2023 were analyzed for biochemical, ultrasonographic, and cytological features.

Background: Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (S-ALI) significantly contributes to unfavorable clinical outcomes. Emerging evidence suggests a novel role for ferroptosis in the pathophysiology of ALI, though the precise mechanisms remain unclear. Mild hypothermia (32-34 °C) has been shown to inhibit inflammatory responses, reduce oxidative stress, and regulate metabolic processes.

Objectives: Congenital thoracic masses (CTMs) are suspected in presence of solid or cystic thoracic lesions at ultrasound. The common typical fetal CTMs encompass: hyperechogenic lung lesions such as congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM), broncopulmonary sequestration (PS) and congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS); less common solid thoracic masses are mediastinal/pericardial tumors as rhabdomyoma and teratoma. The aim of our study is to gather the available evidence on cases of atypical CTMs of difficult classification, for which the diagnosis remains often uncertain.

Background: diagnosis of early chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a challenge due to the lack of accurate methods. The ability of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided biopsy to obtain pancreatic core tissue samples in patients with minimal changes of CP and its potential use for the histological diagnosis of early CP are unknown. The aim of the study was to evaluate the ability of different EUS-guided biopsy core needles to obtain histological samples of healthy pig pancreas.
