Kyphectomy followed by self-sliding pedicle screw and translumbosacral rod impaction and fixation: a novel growth-friendly technique in myelomeningocele patients.
Spine Deform
January 2025
Pediatrics and Neurosurgery, Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Introduction: Congenital lumbar kyphosis is present in about 15% of patients with myelomeningocele. Worsening of deformity with complications such as chronic skin ulcers and bone exposure is common. In patients under 8 years of age, treatment becomes even more challenging: in addition to resecting the apex of the kyphotic deformity, we should ideally stabilize the spine with fixation methods that do not interrupt the growth of the rib cage, associated with the challenging pelvic fixation in this population.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) combined with mechanical debridement (MD) in treating peri-implantitis in patients undergoing chemotherapy compared to systemically healthy patients.
- Both patient groups were assessed; however, results showed no significant differences in key measurements (plaque and gingival indices, probing depth, and bone loss) between the two groups at both baseline and three-month follow-up.
- Overall, the findings indicated that adding aPDT to MD did not lead to enhanced treatment outcomes for peri-implantitis in either chemotherapy patients or systemically healthy individuals.
Wound care of Sweet syndrome in a patient with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma: a case report.
J Wound Care

The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, 510405, Guangzhou, China.
Sweet syndrome (SS), which is characterised by fever and erythematous tender skin lesions, has been shown to be associated with lymphoma. However, there are limited reported experiences on the wound care of SS in patients with lymphoma. This case report presents the wound care of SS in a patient with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALK+ALCL).

Division of Plastic Surgery, Integrated Burn & Wound Care Center, Department of Surgery, Shuang-Ho Hospital, New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Objective: Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) is a rare but devastating complication that is estimated to occur in 1-2% of patients after median sternotomy. Current standard of care (SoC) comprises antibiotics, debridement and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) appears to be an effective adjuvant therapy for osteomyelitis.

Objective: There is little use of maggot debridement therapy (MDT) worldwide, albeit there is much literature supporting its benefits and effectiveness for hard-to-heal (chronic) wounds. Hard-to-heal wounds are becoming ever more prevalent and MDT can play a pivotal role in wound care management. This underuse can be associated with patients' perceptions and experiences of MDT.
