Engelmann's disease is a hereditary bone disorder that affects the axial and the appendicular skeleton. The facial examination is altered secondary to the progressive osseous changes. This report presents a case of Engelmann's disease in a patient with maxillofacial trauma and reviews the associated facial and skeletal manifestations.

Camurati-Engelmann Disease (CED), or Progressive Diaphyseal Dysplasia, is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by heterozygous mutations in the Gene, essential for bone regeneration. This study examines the genotype-phenotype relationship in a family diagnosed with CED, specifically focusing on a missense variant (c.653G>A, p.

Article Synopsis
- Camurati-Engelmann disease (CED) is a rare genetic illness that makes long bones in the body grow thicker than normal, causing pain and trouble walking.
- A 30-month-old boy was found to have CED after initial treatments for a different condition didn't work, and special tests showed changes in his TGFB-1 gene.
- Since CED is rare and can show different symptoms, doctors need to be careful and think of it when diagnosing patients to help manage their symptoms better.
Microvascular plasticity in mouse stroke model recovery: Anatomy statistics, dynamics measured by longitudinal two-photon angiography, network vectorization.

This manuscript quantitatively investigates remodeling dynamics of the cortical microvascular network (thousands of connected capillaries) following photothrombotic ischemia (cubic millimeter volume, imaged weekly) using a novel two-photon angiography and high throughput vascular vectorization method. The results suggest distinct temporal patterns of cerebrovascular plasticity, with acute remodeling peaking at one week post-stroke. The network architecture then gradually stabilizes, returning to a new steady state after four weeks.

Article Synopsis
- - Camurati-Engelmann disease (CED) is a genetic bone disorder categorized into two types based on TGFB1 mutations, where CED2 lacks these mutations.
- - In this study, researchers discovered two new mutations in the TGFB2 gene in CED2 patients, which affect a specific region of the gene, potentially leading to increased TGF-β2 activity and bone formation.
- - The findings indicate that CED2 may result from heightened TGF-β2 signaling due to a loss of regulatory functions of the latency-associated peptide (LAP), highlighting distinct roles of TGFB1 and TGFB2 in bone development.
A novel grading approach predicts worse outcomes in stage pT1 non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Article Synopsis
- A new scoring system was developed for stage pT1 non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) to improve prognostic accuracy beyond the World Health Organisation grading system.
- 113 patients' clinical data and tissue samples were analyzed, focusing on tumour budding and growth and invasion patterns, which were categorized into two grade groups impacting recurrence-free and overall survival.
- The study identified a high-risk group linked to worse outcomes, suggesting that these patients might need closer monitoring or immediate treatment, and the system incorporates readily assessable morphological variables.
