Background: Treating infectious bone defects combined with large soft-tissue lesions poses significant clinical challenges. Herein, we introduced a modified two-stage treatment approach involving the implantation of 3D-printed prostheses and flap repair to treat large segmental infectious tibial bone defects.
Method: We conducted a retrospective study of 13 patients treated at our center between April 2018 and March 2022 for tibial infections owing to posttraumatic infection and chronic osteomyelitis combined with soft tissue defects.

Current literature lacks information regarding impacts of green spaces on susceptibility to cardiovascular disease (CVD) related to harmful environmental exposures. The UK Biobank cohort study was utilized to investigate whether green spaces can mitigate risks associated with air pollutants, nighttime light, noise, and traffic intensity. Latent Profile Analysis was performed on green spaces and adverse environmental exposures in order to assess individual level exposure.

December 2024
Plastic Surgery Department, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, No. 2 Cherry Garden East Street, Chaoyang District, Beijing, 100029, China.
Background: Congenital hypoplasia of the depressor labii inferioris muscle can lead to Asymmetrical crying facies(ACF). The objective of this research was to examine the alterations in both static and dynamic facial symmetry following the resection of the depressor labii inferioris on the healthy side through an intraoral approach.
Methods: Patients exhibiting palsy of the depressor labii inferioris muscles were included in the study.
Retrospective multidisciplinary analysis of human alveolar echinococcosis in Hungary using spatial epidemiology approaches.

Human alveolar echinococcosis (HAE), which is caused by the larval stage of the Echinococcus multilocularis tapeworm, is an increasing healthcare issue in Hungary. Among the 40 known cases in the country, 25 were detected in the last five years. Our study aimed to reveal the geographically underlying risk factors associated potentially with these cases.

Introduction Physical inactivity is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients; several patient- and disease-related factors are linked to a sedentary lifestyle, but social and environmental influences remain unexplored. This study evaluates the level of physical activity in patients with CKD and investigates the associations with caregivers' physical activity levels, characteristics of the residential environment, and objective measures of exercise capacity. Methods Eighty CKD patients (20 per CKD stage 2-4) were included; patients and their carers filled out the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), questionnaires about residential environment and past exercise habits.
