Background: This study aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes of distally based peroneus brevis muscle flap in post-traumatic lower leg defects.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis conducted from February 2017 to May 2019 including six patients who had sustained post-traumatic lower leg critical soft tissue defects and were treated with distally based peroneus brevis muscle flap and primary skin grafting.
Results: In five cases, the flap was successful in providing excellent soft tissue cover to the defects addressed. Partial flap loss was seen in one patient. Skin graft partial loss was seen in three of the six patients. There was no significant donor site morbidity.
Conclusions: The distally based peroneus brevis muscle flap is a safe, easy, and reliable flap option for coverage of lower leg defects. The muscle flap also thins with time to provide a good aesthetic outcome.

Private Practice, Jerusalem, Israel.
In recent years, a segmental approach to Class II correction has gained popularity among orthodontists. This concept is best represented by the Carrière Motion 3D™ Class II Appliance (CMA), which is an efficient and effective appliance for the treatment of Class II malocclusions. Although it is original and innovative, it also has some inherent flaws that can potentially interfere with its daily use.

Internal and external rotation of the shoulder is often challenging to quantify in the clinic. Existing technologies, such as motion capture, can be expensive or require significant time to setup, collect data, and process and analyze the data. Other methods may rely on surveys or analog tools, which are subject to interpretation.

Cable-driven exosuits have the potential to support individuals with motor disabilities across the continuum of care. When supporting a limb with a cable, force sensors are often used to measure tension. However, force sensors add cost, complexity, and distal components.

Introduction: Advanced penile squamous cell carcinoma (pSCC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis and an unmet need for biomarkers. We performed a retrospective evaluation of real-world efficacy, safety outcomes, and baseline inflammatory biomarkers in patients with advanced pSCC treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of patients with advanced pSCC who received ICIs from 2012 to 2023 at the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University in Atlanta, GA.
Injectable ionic hydrogel conductors: Advancing material design to transform cardiac pacing.

Department of Biomedical Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, 78712, USA. Electronic address:
Direct pacing of the mid myocardium where re-entry originates can be used to prevent ventricular arrhythmias and circumvent the need for painful defibrillation or cardiac ablation. However, there are no pacing electrodes small enough to navigate the coronary veins that cross these culprit scar regions. To address this need, we have developed an injectable ionically conductive hydrogel electrode that can fill the epicardial coronary veins and transform them into flexible electrodes.
