This case report investigate a 61-year-old healthy man who, during a Christmas goose-shooting, got repeated punches on the right breast region, owing to a defective shotgun stock. The initial suggilations and haematomas disappeared in three weeks, but after three months a tender enlargement of the periareolar area developed. Mammography and sonography showed typical right gynaecomastia. History, andrologial examination and biochemistry disclosed no explanation. It was concluded that a traumatic aetiology of the gynaecomastia was most likely. During the next year, the clinical signs regressed somewhat, but control sonography showed leftovers of ductal tissue, and the bird shooter has become reconciled with his "goose breast".

North American avian species that migrate in flocks show greater long-term non-breeding range shift rates.

Background: Many species are exhibiting range shifts associated with anthropogenic change. For migratory species, colonisation of new areas can require novel migratory programmes that facilitate navigation between independently-shifting seasonal ranges. Therefore, in some cases range-shifts may be limited by the capacity for novel migratory programmes to be transferred between generations, which can be genetically and socially mediated.

Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a prevalent dermatological condition characterized by a distinctive herald patch, followed by secondary eruptions, often forming a "Christmas tree" pattern on the trunk. Despite its recognizable clinical presentation, the etiology of PR remains uncertain, with hypotheses pointing to both infectious and noninfectious origins. Human herpesviruses (HHV) 6 and 7 have been implicated, with evidence suggesting viral reactivation as a potential trigger.

Background: The incidence of revision shoulder arthroplasty continues to rise, and infection is a common indication for revision surgery. Treatment of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in the shoulder remains a controversial topic, with the literature reporting varying methodologies, including the use of debridement and implant retention, single-stage and 2-stage surgeries, antibiotic spacers, and resection arthroplasty. Single-stage revision has been shown to have a low rate of recurrent infection, making it more favorable because it precludes the morbidity of a 2-stage operation.
