Article Abstract
Kienböck disease, also known as lunatomalacia, is a rare condition which can lead to progressive wrist pain and abnormal carpal motion. We present the case of a 30-year-old patient with Down syndrome who came to our observation for treatment of stage III C Kienböck disease. In September 2019, the patient reported wrist pain with limitation in movements and initially underwent conservative treatment without benefit. In October 2020, pain symptoms and difficult movements with reduced strength worsened and surgical treatment was proposed, but the patient and his family declined. Thereby the patient underwent conservative treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) 60 sessions, 100% oxygen at 2.5 absolute atmospheres (ATA), oxygen total time 60 min, once daily, five times per week. After 6 months, a positive clinical and radiological evolution were observed, with an improvement in the patterns of pain, motion, and strength and an almost complete involution of the process of aseptic necrosis of the semilunar. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of stage III C Kienböck's disease in Down's syndrome patient treated with HBOT.

The incidence of lung cancer is the highest among all tumors, and treatment has become an urgent problem to be solved. The Drug-eluting bead-based bronchial arterial chemoembolization (DEB-BACE) combination immunotherapy is a rare neoadjuvant therapy for lung cancer surgery, which can significantly reduce the time it takes for lung cancer patients to undergo surgery.We report a male patient, aged 59-year-old, with Stage-III b squamous cell lung cancer accompanied by hemoptysis underwent surgical resection after DEB-BACE combination immunotherapy treatment 21 days later without obvious adverse events.

Objective Permanent teeth roots undergo resorption under pathologic conditions such as trauma, orthodontic treatment, pulpal infections, periodontitis, and periodontal therapy. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of external root resorption (ERR) in patients with periodontitis as seen in orthopantomography (OPGs). Methodology This single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional radiographic study was conducted from January 2021 to December 2022, including 656 orthopantomographs (OPGs) from patients with periodontitis.

While orbital floor metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been reported, ocular (eyeball) metastasis is exceedingly rare. Most ocular metastases originate from breast or lung cancer. In this article, we present the case of a 65-year-old man diagnosed with HCC with central necrosis (cT3N0M0, stage III) based on characteristic imaging findings.

Background: In triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), the most immunogenic breast cancer type, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are an independent prognostic factor. Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are an important TILs source, but they are not integrated in the current prognostic criteria.
Methods: In this retrospective study, TLS were assessed in hematein-eosin-saffron-stained (HES) histological sections from 397 early, chemotherapy-naive TNBC samples after primary surgical resection.

Aim: From 2015 to 2018, the 'Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injury (HAPI)' project was implemented in one local health district in Australia and utilised an implementation science approach to address rising pressure injury (PI) incidence and prevalence rates. This paper aims to examine whether the project was successful in sustaining low PI incidence and prevalence rates over the five-years following implementation (spanning the 2018/2019 to 2022/2023 financial years and the 2019-2023 calendar years).
Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving a comprehensive analysis of HAPI incidence, prevalence, and hospital-acquired complication (HAC) data spanning 5 years (incidence and HAC: 2018/2019 to 2022/2023 financial years; prevalence: January 2019 to December 2023 calendar years) post-implementation of the HAPI project.
