Background: Blistering distal dactylitis is a localised infection of the anterior pad of the distal phalanx of the digits. It most commonly affects children and uncommonly adults with a history of immunosuppression or trauma.
Objective: A case of blistering distal dactylitis in a 32-year-old male is reported. The patient was not immunocompromised and did not report trauma.
Conclusion: Blistering distal dactylitis may rarely present in adults (including those who are not immunocompromised or reporting trauma) and thus should be in the differential diagnosis for an adult presenting with bullae at the fingertips. The differential diagnosis for this presentation also includes herpetic whitlow, epidermolysis bullosa, bullous impetigo, and friction blisters.

Computational hemodynamic pathophysiology of internal carotid artery blister aneurysms.
Biomed Eng Online
November 2024
Division of Neurosurgery, Centre Hospitalier de L'Université de Montréal, Montréal, QC, Canada.
Objective: Blister aneurysms of the internal carotid artery (ICA) are rare and are primarily documented in the literature through small series and case reports. The intraoperative observation of a hemorrhage in the artery wall proximal to the aneurysmal bulge led to the hypothesis that some of these aneurysms might develop in a retrograde manner.
Methods: We developed software to reconstruct the ICA with and without Type I and II blister aneurysms using patients' imagery as input to simulate hemodynamic conditions before and after their formation.
TIPIC syndrome in a patient following sorafenib treatment for acute myeloid leukemia: a rare case report.

Transient Perivascular Inflammation of the\ Carotid Artery (TIPIC) syndrome is uncommon, and cases of TIPIC induced by the targeted drug, sorafenib, are extremely rare. This case report describes a patient with acute myeloid leukemia carrying an FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 mutation, who developed TIPIC syndrome, which may have been induced by sorafenib treatment. A 65-year-old woman diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia experienced severe neck pain and sclerotic blisters on her palms and soles during sorafenib treatment.

BACKGROUND Giant cell tumors of bone typically occur in early adulthood, when the growth plate has closed. The distal radius is the second most common location affected, accounting for 10% to 12% of cases. Complications of poor soft tissue healing are rare in the distal radius, owing to its rich blood supply.

Article Synopsis
- There is a lack of evidence on the safety of flow diversion (FD) for treating aneurysms outside the circle of Willis, leading to a study on the Silk Vista Baby (SVB) device at a single medical center.
- The study involved 57 patients with various types of aneurysms, mostly in the anterior circulation, and found a low complication rate (5.2% symptomatic ischemic) with no hemorrhagic incidents and an overall mortality rate of 1.8%.
- The findings suggest that SVB is a safe option for treating both distal anterior and complex posterior fossa aneurysms, but further multicenter studies are necessary to validate these results.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of the perforator-based propeller flaps (PPFs) based on digital artery (DA) and dorsal metacarpal artery (DMA) in repairing hand wounds.
Methods: The clinical data of 45 patients with hand wounds between January 2018 and March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 27 males and 18 females with an average age of 41.
