Synovitis-acne-pustulosis-hyperostosis-osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome is a rare disease characterized by a sterile inflammatory osteitis and/or arthritis associated with a wide range of dermatological manifestations, such as acne, palmoplantar pustulosis, and psoriasis. This review, providing up-to-date knowledge on this disease, aims at informing researchers and clinicians to help them program future studies in order to improve patients' care. Due to the vast clinical heterogeneity that characterizes this disease, SAPHO syndrome has received various names; among these, chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis represents the most used one.

Context: This paper describes experiences and views of leadership teams from 4 small local health departments (LHDs) seeking Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) reaccreditation or Pathways Recognition using PHAB Standards & Measures Version 2022. The Pathways program launched in 2022 provides additional supports for improvement of public health practice.
Objective: Given the need to accelerate accreditation among small health departments, the purpose of this study is to share small health departments' strategies for overcoming accreditation challenges and actionable advice for use by other health departments.

Background: The reconstruction of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) is a crucial step for completing breast restoration with patient satisfaction. Surgical reconstruction or tattooing of the NAC may not be preferable or feasible for some patients. There is no universal method for NAC that is ideal for every patient or clinical situation.
