We demonstrate that it is possible to use a nonabsorbable mesh for abdominal wall reconstruction after total wound rupture and successfully split-skin graft directly on the mesh. Sufficient granulation tissue formation prior to skin grafting was obtained with long-term use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT).

Anatomy of the Ribs, Sternum, and Costal Margin.
J Orthop Trauma
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedics, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH.
The ribs, sternum, and costal margin provide a rigid, but flexible chest wall that functions to provide protection to the vital cardiothoracic organs, while also allowing for varying levels of respiration based on physiologic need. The latter function is accomplished through various muscular attachments and rib articulations with both the axial spine posteriorly and the sternum anteriorly. The accessory muscles of inspiration rely on the downward slope and outward curve of each rib, which when contracted move the ribs upward and outward, in turn forcing the sternum anterior and increasing the thoracic volume.

Unlabelled: Omphalocele-exstrophy-imperforate anus-spinal defects (OEIS) complex is a rare entity that presents abdominal wall defects, entails high morbidity and mortality, and requires multidisciplinary management.
Objective: To describe a case with an unusual association between OEIS complex and diaphragmatic hernia and to discuss its pathogenesis and possible association with other midline malformations.
Clinical Case: A preterm female newborn of 33 weeks of gestational age, with prenatal diagnosis of giant omphalocele that, at birth, presented intact amnion coverture containing the entire liver and some bowel loops, open bladder exstrophy and exposed urethral orifices; uterus didelphys, no palpable gonads, and concurrent imaging findings of pelvic soft tissue extrusion, left diaphragmatic hernia (Bochdalek), multiple bone defects, myelomeningocele, and myelocystocele.
Capnocytophaga canimorsus in Iliac Artery Mycotic Aneurysm: The Role of Molecular Diagnostics.

Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Mayo Clinic Health System, Eau Claire, WI, USA.
BACKGROUND The bacterial organism Capnocytophaga canimorsus is an oral commensal of cats and dogs and can cause life-threatening infections like mycotic aneurysm, meningitis, and sepsis. Mycotic aneurysms occur when microbial infections cause arterial wall degeneration. Difficulty in diagnosing Capnocytophaga canimorsus infection can occur due to the bacteria's fastidious nature and laboratory testing limitations, contributing to the infection's high morbidity and mortality.
