To investigate the difference of lateral cephalogram, PSG, BMI in Uygur and Han OSAHS male patients. OSAHS male patients with 33 Uygur cases and 42 Han cases,30 normal Uygur cases and 36 normal Han cases were taken as control.Lateral cephalogram of upright position in waking state, then comparecraniofacial strcture parameters and PSG dates, etc. Patients in OSAHS group and normal group had significant differences in the MP-H, PAS, PNS-P, BMI (<0.05), the Uygur healthy men and Uygur male OSAHS patients had significant difference in the ANB° (<0.05). The difference was statistically significant in PNS-P, MP-H and BMI in Uygur and Han OSAHS male patients (<0.05). The differences in airway plane, hyoid position and length of soft palate and weight were significantly different between healthy men and OSAHS men. Han OSAHS male patients and Uygur male patients had significant differences in Hyoid position, length of the soft palate and weight. Lateral cephalogram can judge blocking site of upper airway and provide opration plan.

Severe atopic dermatitis treated with Dupilumab in a CTLA-4-deficient patient: A case report and review of the literature.
SAGE Open Med Case Rep

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with immune dysregulation, particularly overexpression of T helper 2 cytokines. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 deficiency, a primary immune disorder, can exacerbate atopic dermatitis. Dupilumab, an IL-4 and IL-13 receptor antagonist, has demonstrated efficacy in controlling severe, recalcitrant atopic dermatitis by mitigating T helper 2-driven inflammation.

Introduction: Central nervous system (CNS) infection due to the varicella zoster virus (VZV) can complicate the primary infection or the reactivation, leading to significant mortality and morbidity. This study aimed to describe the clinical, laboratory, and radiological characteristics of patients with confirmed VZV CNS infection in a tertiary hospital in Greece.
Methods: Data about patients hospitalized from January 2018 to September 2023 with CNS infection by VZV, confirmed by a syndromic polymerase chain reaction in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), were retrospectively collected and evaluated.

Introduction: This paper examines the use of local antibiotic therapy in one-stage septic revision surgery for late periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs). This case study suggests that morselized bone allografts impregnated with antibiotics in powder form are a preferable alternative to polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) because they can generate higher local antibiotic concentrations. Current research also recommends using vancomycin and aminoglycosides as the preferred choice of antibiotics, as they may have low diffusion in tissues when administered intravenously, but are effective when administered locally.

Introduction: Alveolar echinococcosis is one of the most pathogenic zoonoses caused by the larval forms of . It is endemic in central Europe, but from 2001 to 2018, eight European countries reported their first cases of alveolar echinococcosis. These numbers testify to unprecedented spread of the infection.

Background: Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is the standard treatment for acute myocardial infarction (MI). This study aimed to investigate the use of DAPT and de-escalation after discharge in real-world practice among patients with acute MI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Taiwan.
Methods: Using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, we included patients who received PCI for acute MI and survived to discharge with DAPT from 2011 to 2021.
