Objectives: The present study attempted to investigate the clinical efficacy of a surgical method involving a combination of cross flap with autologous auricular cartilage transplantation in the treatment of type I to III congenital concha-type microtia.
Methods: The present retrospective study was conducted on the clinical and postoperative data of 50 patients with unilateral type I to III concha-type microtia treated with a combination of cross flap and autologous auricular cartilage transplantation at the Plastic Surgery Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2018 to December 2021.
Results: The postoperative perimeters of malformed ears were significantly larger than the preoperative perimeters ( < .05). Of the total, 2 patients exhibited incision dehiscence, 3 patients exhibited incision infection, 2 patients exhibited flap hematoma, and 1 patient exhibited ischemic necrosis at the flap tip. The satisfaction rate of the patients and their families was 100%.
Conclusions: The surgical method involving a combination of cross flap and autogenous auricular cartilage transplantation was effective in treating patients with type I to III congenital concha-type microtia, and therefore, this surgical approach can be applied widely to correct this deformity.

Immune events such as infection, vaccination, and a combination of the two result in distinct time-dependent antibody responses in affected individuals. These responses and event prevalence combine non-trivially to govern antibody levels sampled from a population. Time-dependence and disease prevalence pose considerable modeling challenges that need to be addressed to provide a rigorous mathematical underpinning of the underlying biology.

Objective: The objective of this study is to present the clinical characteristics of immunoglobulin G4-related diseases (IgG4-RD) patients and describe associated overlap with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs).
Patients And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 81 patients with IgG4-RD who were recruited from 13 specialized rheumatology departments and centers across the country in collaboration with the Egyptian College of Rheumatology (ECR). Patients underwent a thorough history-taking and clinical examination.

Introduction: Compared to platinum-based therapies, a combination of ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4) and nivolumab (anti-PD-1) has demonstrated improved outcomes in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), albeit with higher rates of immune-related adverse events (irAEs). This multicenter retrospective study evaluated the efficacy and safety of nivolumab and ipilimumab with or without chemotherapy (NI and NICT) in real-world clinical settings.
Methods: We enrolled 215 treatment-naïve NSCLC patients who received NI or NICT between December 2020 and May 2023 at 14 institutions in Japan.

Background: Stroke, a cerebrovascular condition, and neurodegenerative diseases (ND) like Dementia, Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis are major types of neurological disorders, which are associated with increasing global morbidity and mortality burden. But to what extent shared genetic architecture is involved between stroke and ND is unknown.
Method: We investigated shared genetics between stroke (10 subtypes) and ND (6 diseases) using large scale Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) summary statistics data for Cross-Ancestry, European and South Asian samples including Indians.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common dementia in humans that today concerns 50 million individuals worldwide and will affect more than 100 million people in 2050. Except for familial AD cases (<5% of AD patients) for which AD pathology connects to mutations in critical genes involved in the processing of the amyloid precursor protein into neurotoxic Aß peptides, it remains unknown what provokes the overproduction and deposition of Aß peptides in the brain of sporadic AD cases (>95% of AD patients). Some nanosized materials, e.
