Hypergranulation is a common complication of wound healing that dermatologists encounter and is characterized by excess granulation tissue, which results in delayed healing and reepithelialization. Though many treatment options have been presented in the literature, less invasive and irritating treatment regimens are often preferred in the pediatric population. Here we present a case of a 14-year-old female with hypergranulation tissue (HGT) of the scalp that was successfully treated with topical corticosteroids (TCS). Additionally, a literature review was conducted to determine the prevalence of topical corticosteroid use for HGT in the pediatric population. Although not first line, TCS should be considered as a non-invasive and painless treatment for HGT in the pediatric population.

Surgical Treatment Strategies for Severe and Neglected Spinal Deformities in Children and Adolescents without the Use of Radical Three-Column Osteotomies.

: Severe spinal deformity manifests as a pronounced deviation from the normal curvature of the spine in the frontal, sagittal, and horizontal planes, where the coronal plane curvature exceeds 90 degrees and may coincide with hyperkyphotic deformity. The most severe deformities exhibit rigidity, with flexibility below 30%. If left untreated or improperly treated, these deformities can result in serious complications associated with progression of the curvature.

Severe and rigid scoliosis represents a type of spinal deformity characterized by a Cobb angle exceeding 90° and a flexibility of less than 30%. Halo spinal traction remains the established standard for managing severe scoliosis, although alternative approaches such as temporary internal distraction rods and staged surgical correction exist. The primary objective of this investigation was to compare two cohorts of patients treated using these distinct methods to ascertain any divergences in terms of surgical and radiological outcomes, pulmonary function (PF), and quality of life (QoL).

Liggins Institute, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand.
Background: Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) describes the transmission of DNA outside of direct ancestral lineages. The process is best characterised within the bacterial kingdom and can enable the acquisition of genetic traits that support bacterial adaptation to novel niches. The adaptation of bacteria to novel niches has particular relevance for faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), a therapeutic procedure which aims to resolve gut-related health conditions of individuals, through transplanted gut microbiota from healthy donors.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Hôpital Sud, Rennes University, Rennes, France.
Purpose: Preoperative preparation with halo gravity traction (HGT) has several advantages but is still controversial. A multicenter, observational, retrospective study was conducted to determine whether HGT provides better frontal correction in surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).
Methods: Between 2010 and 2020, all patients who underwent posterior spinal fusion (PSF) AIS with a Cobb angle greater than 80° were included.
Methylmercury and mercury in Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) from Turkish coast: Dietary exposure prediction.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed total mercury (HgT) and methylmercury (MeHg) levels in Mediterranean mussels from various stations along Türkiye's Black Sea, Marmara, and Aegean Sea coasts, revealing a positive correlation between the two types of mercury.
- MeHg levels were found to be below the safety limits set by the FAO/WHO for average consumption, with higher risks affecting only pediatric consumers in areas with elevated MeHg concentrations.
- Recommendations for sustainable mussel production emphasize identifying safe harvesting sites and preventing the sale of mussels from contaminated areas to protect consumer health.
