Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV), also known as human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8), is the primary etiologic cause of Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and KSHV Inflammatory Cytokine Syndrome (KICS). Patients with KICS demonstrate symptoms of systemic inflammation, high KSHV viral load, elevation of inflammatory markers, and increased mortality. Management requires rapid diagnosis, treatment of underlying HIV, direct treatment of KS, and addressing the hyperimmune response.

Dermatopathology, like dermatology, has evolved in many directions; yet, both fields remain true to visual morphology-based diagnosis. Dr. Irwin Braverman is a role model for the intersection of these two visual fields.

Background: Medical students and doctors are rarely taught how to be educators, but are expected to perform the role of clinical teacher once qualified (Kloek AT, Van Zijl ACM, ten Cate OTJ, Perspect Med Educ. 5:325-331, 2016). Qureshi (Perspect Med Edu 3:69-72, 2014) suggests that development of teaching skills should be incorporated into the undergraduate medical curriculum, while Charnell et al.

Coronary heart disease is a major global health threat, with acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) being a major contributor to myocardial damage following an ischemic event. IRI occurs when blood flow to ischemic tissues is restored and exacerbates the cellular damage caused by ischemia/hypoxia. Although animal studies investigating IRI have provided valuable insights, their translation into clinical outcomes has been limited, and translation into medical practice remains cumbersome.

Breast implant surgery has evolved significantly, yet challenges such as capsular contracture remain a persistent concern. This review presents an in-depth analysis of recent advancements in understanding the immune mechanisms and clinical implications associated with silicone mammary implants (SMIs). The article systematically examines the complex interplay between immune responses and capsular fibrosis, emphasizing the pathophysiological mechanisms of inflammation in the etiology of this fibrotic response.
