Polydactyly is one of the most common foot congenital anomalies. It is often detected immediately after birth, but the diagnosis can sometimes be delayed if the symptoms are less evident. A 2-year-old girl with a complaint of recurrent bleeding from the right toenail was diagnosed with foot polydactyly. She underwent corrective surgery, and her family was satisfied with the outcome. Although the diagnosis of polydactyly may be difficult in cases with minor nail problems, further radiographic evaluation will be needed for the improvement of the patient's quality of life.

Major underlying health issues can be indicated by even minor nail infections. Subungual Melanoma is one of the most severe kinds since it is identified at a much later stage than other conditions. The purpose of this research is to offer novel deep-learning algorithms that target the autonomous categorization of six forms of nail disorders by employing images: Blue Finger, Clubbing, Pitting, Onychogryphosis, Acral Lentiginous Melanoma, and Normal Nail or Healthy Nail Appearance.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most commonly diagnosed cutaneous cancer globally. Chronic exposure to environmental triggers and genetic predisposition are risk factors that contribute to the incidence of BCC. While most cases of BCC are treated surgically with curettage or simple excision, treatment options for advanced BCC, including metastatic BCC and locally advanced BCC, are limited as some may be considered unresectable.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify the primary cause of 30-day readmissions for patients who underwent surgery for hip fractures.
- A total of 3,032 patients were analyzed, revealing that older age, higher comorbidity scores, and more major complications during initial hospitalization were linked to increased readmission rates.
- The leading reason for readmission was pulmonary complications, occurring in 17.1% of patients, highlighting respiratory issues as a significant concern post-surgery.
