As the fields of astronomy, cosmology, and space travel move rapidly forward, so must space medicine. The manned space program and medical knowledge and support have developed in tandem. Dermatology will play a fundamental role in survival during space flight. This paper reviews past, present, and future accomplishments of the space program as they relate to medicine and characterizes some of dermatology's multiple roles in the future. It further explores the immunologic alterations noted during space flight and the attendant implications for health and well-being both in flight and on return to Earth, or to an Earthlike environment.

Novel technique and outcomes of umbilical reconstruction during cytoreductive surgery; a multi-centre study.
Tech Coloproctol
January 2025
Peritonectomy and Liver Cancer Unit, Department of Surgery, St George Hospital, Kogarah, NSW, Australia.
Background: The goal of cytoreductive surgery for peritoneal malignancy is to remove all macroscopic disease, which occasionally requires the excision of the umbilicus. While the absence of the umbilicus can be aesthetically undesirable for patients, umbilical reconstruction is rarely performed due to the perceived complexity and increased risk of wound infections (Sakata et al. in Colorectal Dis 23:1153-1157, 2021).

Department of Cardiology and Internal Medicine B, University Medicine Greifswald, Greifswald, Germany.
Background: Coronary artery ectasias and aneurysms (CAE/CAAs) are among the less common forms of coronary artery disease, with undefined long-term outcomes and treatment strategies.
Aims: To assess the clinical characteristics, angiographic patterns, and long-term outcomes in patients with CAE, CAA, or both.
Methods: This 15-year (2006-2021) retrospective single-centre registry included 281 patients diagnosed with CAE/CAA via invasive coronary angiography.
Multimodal multiobjective optimization with structural network control principles to optimize personalized drug targets for drug discovery of individual patients.
Brief Bioinform
November 2024
School of Electrical and Information Engineering, Zhengzhou University, No. 100, Science Avenue, Hightech District, Zhengzhou City 450001, Henan Province, China.
Structural network control principles provided novel and efficient clues for the optimization of personalized drug targets (PDTs) related to state transitions of individual patients. However, most existing methods focus on one subnetwork or module as drug targets through the identification of the minimal set of driver nodes and ignore the state transition capabilities of other modules with different configurations of drug targets [i.e.

This review aims to explore genetics, the cardiac and extracardiac manifestations of mutations associated with CPVT, and the challenges involved with managing phenotypically variable variants.
Recent Findings: The understanding of the genetics and mechanisms of CPVT continues to grow with recent discoveries including alternative splicing of cardiac TRDN and calmodulin gene variants.
Desmoid Fibromatosis Involving the Retropharyngeal and Danger Spaces: A Case Report.
Cureus
December 2024
Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, Institute of Science Tokyo, Tokyo, JPN.
Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is a rare, non-metastasizing but locally aggressive mesenchymal tumor arising from fibroblasts or myofibroblasts. We report a solitary case of DF involving the retropharyngeal and danger spaces, a location rarely documented. The patient, a woman in her 70s, presented with progressive pharyngeal discomfort over six months.
