Background: Central retinal vein occlusion and cilioretinal artery occlusion are rare but serious ocular conditions that can lead to significant visual impairment. While few cases of central retinal vein occlusion and cilioretinal artery occlusion have been individually reported, concurrent occlusion of both vessels is extremely rare, particularly in younger patients without traditional vascular risk factors. We present the first reported case of simultaneous central retinal vein occlusion and cilioretinal artery occlusion in a young female patient associated with short-term use of progestin-only oral contraceptives (OCPs).

Digit replantation is often caused by sudden trauma, with 75% of amputated patients being low-income, low-education workers, and adding societal pressure. Orem's self-care model emphasizes self-care and may be an optimal nursing model for digit replantation, but its clinical application and research are limited. This study explores Orem's self-care model's impact on digit replantation.

Since their introduction by Mennen and Wiese in 1993, semi-occlusive film dressings (SOFD) have been increasingly used in various clinical contexts, including the treatment of Allen type IV fingertip injuries, fingertip necrosis, and cases involving embedded foreign material.This study aimed to investigate whether and, if so, how the outcomes of Allen type III and IV fingertip injuries and fingertip necrosis differ from those of Allen types I and II. In addition, it aimed to investigate if the presence of embedded foreign material under a film dressing increases the risk of complications.

Background: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) affects 29%-68% of patients undergoing anticancer treatments within the first month. Traditional cryotherapy methods, such as frozen gloves, can pose risks. This study evaluates the cool-water electric circulation seat (CECS), which maintains a constant 15°C, as a safer alternative.

Background: Recurrent burn contractures on the volar aspect of the hand present a formidable challenge, especially in the pediatric patient. We used Integra followed by staged full-thickness skin grafting for recurrent bilateral volar hand burn contracture in a toddler. We reviewed the literature to appraise the utility of full-thickness skin graft (FTSG) combined with Integra used for volar hand contractures.
