Revision rhinoplasties are extremely difficult to perform even for the surgeons mastering nasal surgery. In fact, they must be skilled at adapting surgical strategies to the anatomical changes induced by primary rhinoplasty.We herein describe an original technique using an auricular cartilage graft after 6 revision rhinoplasties.The aforementioned graft succeeded in improving tip support, correct external nasal valve dysfunction and alar pinch, and providing tip definition, projection, and ptosis.In our opinion, rainbow graft is a safe approach in case of severe nasal structural deficiencies, improving both the functional and esthetic results in revision rhinoplasties.

Prevention of Infections Among Pediatric Solid Organ Transplant Recipients With Asplenia or Hyposplenism.

Pediatric solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients with splenic dysfunction are at increased risk for infections, and tailored guidance on the management of asplenia/hyposplenism among SOT recipients is often lacking. The purpose of this article is to provide practice recommendations via a frequently asked questions (FAQs) format that focuses on three main domains: the identification of asplenia/hyposplenism among SOT recipients/candidates, prophylactic strategies for mitigating the risk of invasive disease associated with splenic dysfunction in the context of transplantation, and the provision of appropriate patient counseling on the risks associated with asplenia/hyposplenism. Answers to the FAQs are based on international expert opinion informed by practices for managing splenic dysfunction and associated data in other populations with asplenia.

Small-for-size syndrome is a clinical syndrome of early allograft dysfunction usually following living donor liver transplantation due to a mismatch between recipient metabolic and functional requirements and the graft's functional capacity. While graft size relative to the recipient size is the most commonly used parameter to predict risk, small-for-size syndrome is multifactorial and its development depends on a number of inter-dependant factors only some of which are modifiable. Intra-operative monitoring of portal haemodynamics and portal flow modulation is widely recommended though there is wide variation in clinical practice.

Background: Patients with recurrent, chronic, or refractory cytopenias represent a challenging subgroup that may harbor an underlying diagnosis, such as an inborn error of immunity (IEI). Patients with IEIs such as activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta syndrome (APDS), frequently have hematologic manifestations, but these are not often reported as presenting symptoms. As a result, IEIs may be overlooked in patients presenting with early and/or recalcitrant cytopenias.

Article Synopsis
  • Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a major cause of death and disability globally, with few treatment options, prompting research into the potential of stem cell therapies, specifically using bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) combined with scaffolds.
  • The RAINBOW-Hx trial aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this treatment in eight patients with chronic ICH, focusing on those with significant neurological deficits for over a year.
  • The study has received ethical approval and involves detailed procedures like bone marrow extraction, cell cultivation, and various imaging assessments post-treatment to monitor patient outcomes.

Piezo1 is a mechanosensitive, nonselective Ca2+ channel which is broadly expressed in CD4+ T cells. Using lineage-specific Piezo1 knockout mice (Piezo1cKO), we show that loss of Piezo1 in CD4+ T cells significantly increased IFNγ and IL-17 production in vitro under TH1 and TH17 polarizing conditions, respectively. Despite their intrinsic proinflammatory phenotype, Piezo1cKO T cells are incapable of establishing disease in vivo in three separate adoptive transfer (AT) T cell-mediated inflammatory mouse models, including experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and graft versus-host disease.
