We report an infant who developed subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn (SCFN) secondary to cooling treatment for hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE). While SCFN is usually self-limiting, this patient went on to develop a large haematoma on his back with overlying skin necrosis necessitating debridement and split thickness skin grafting. Initially, the area affected on his back showed a number of small fluctuant swellings. By day 16 after birth, theses swellings coalesced to form a large 15 cm × 19 cm haematoma with a tense, shiny skin overlying it. On day 17, the large swelling was drained in theatre and a drain was left in situ. Total calcium blood level was raised at 4 mmol/l and he was managed with Pamidronate infusion. Postoperatively, examination of the back showed a 5 cm necrotic area in the centre of the back, and affected area was debrided along with a split skin graft applied to the exposed area.

The electrical conductivity of human tissues is a major source of uncertainty when modelling the interactions between electromagnetic fields and the human body. The aim of this study is to estimate human tissue conductivities in vivo over the low-frequency range, from 30 Hz to 1 MHz. Noninvasive impedance measurements, medical imaging, and 3D surface scanning were performed on the forearms of ten volunteer test subjects.

Background: Intramuscular corticosteroid injection may cause adverse effects such as dermal and/or subcutaneous atrophy, alopecia, hypopigmentation, and hyperpigmentation. Although cutaneous atrophy can spontaneously resolve, several treatment options have been suggested for this condition.
Case Summary: In this paper, we report a case of corticosteroid injection induced lipoatrophy treated with autologous whole blood (AWB) injection, as the condition had been unresponsive to fractional laser therapy.
Sonographic and Anthropometric Measurements for Body Composition and Their Relationship with Functioning in Adolescent Obesity.

Obesity is one of the most common chronic diseases seen in children and adolescents. This study aims to examine the impact of obesity on body composition, assessed by sonographic and anthropometric measurements, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adolescents.Anthropometric measurements, sonographic measurements of subcutaneous fat, quadriceps muscle, Achilles tendon thickness, and HRQoL were performed in children between 12-18 years of age.

Purpose: Obesity is closely associated with a lower risk of inguinal hernia, but the association between different obesity metrics and the risk of inguinal hernia is still unclear.
Methods: In our study, we categorized obesity measurement indicators into three groups based on the difficulty of measurement: (1) indicators easily available, such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR); (2) indicators accessible with moderate difficulty, such as body fat percentage and body fat mass; (3) indicators difficultly accessible, such as the volume of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was used to investigate the causal relationship between various adiposity measures and the risk of inguinal hernia in both European ancestry and East Asians.
Autologous Micro-Fat Transplantation for Facial Sunken Treatment: Single-Center Experience.

Department of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, People's Republic of China.
Background: Facial sunken deformities, congenital or acquired, are common in clinical practice for the reduction of soft or hard tissues. In clinical practice, filler injection and tissue transplantation are often used to improve facial contour. Among these, autologous fat grafting for treating facial contour defects is most common in clinical practice.
