Introduction: Soft tissue defect in the lower limb presents as a difficult reconstructive challenge. Cross-leg flap was routinely used in the past for the salvage of the lower limb but is seldom used nowadays due to advances in microsurgical procedures.
Case Presentation: We present a case of an 18-year-old male who presented with a complex soft tissue defect of 25 × 10 cm on the anterolateral aspect of the right leg following a motor vehicle accident.

Introduction: Rhizarthrosis, or osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint, predominantly affects women over 50, with up to 30% experiencing some degree of arthritis in this joint. Traditional surgical approaches, such as trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction, can result in some patients in persistent pain or limited functionality. TMC ball-in-socket arthroplasty, with a cup placed in the distal scaphoid, offers a promising alternative to traditional arthrodesis or resection-suspension arthroplasty.

One critical aspect of cell proliferation is increased nucleotide synthesis, including pyrimidines. Pyrimidines are synthesized through de novo and salvage pathways. Prior studies established that the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) promotes pyrimidine synthesis by activating the de novo pathway for cell proliferation.

Background: Venetoclax + azacitidine is a frontline treatment for older adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and a salvage therapy for relapsed/refractory patients who have been treated with intensive chemotherapy. While this is an important treatment option, many patients fail to achieve complete remission and of those that do, majority relapse. Leukemia stem cells (LSCs) are believed to be responsible for AML relapse and can be targeted through oxidative phosphorylation reduction.

Stroke remains a leading cause of global disability and mortality despite advancements in acute interventions. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive neuromodulation technique, has primarily been studied for its effects on cortical excitability, with limited exploration of its neuroprotective and hemodynamic benefits. This review examines the role of tDCS in stroke, with a focus on neuroprotection in acute settings and cerebral blood flow (CBF) modulation in both acute and chronic phases.
