AI Article Synopsis
- Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a rare skin condition featuring ridges and furrows on the scalp, categorized into primary essential, primary nonessential, and secondary types.
- The case focuses on primary essential CVG, where a significant portion of the scalp and forehead was affected, requiring flap advancement after skin expansion for treatment.
- This successful technique not only covers the skin defect and preserves hair growth but also leads to excellent cosmetic results, enhancing both the appearance and psychosocial well-being of the patient.
Article Abstract
Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a rare skin condition characterized by ridges and furrows resembling the brain. CVG falls under three categories: primary essential, primary nonessential, and secondary. This case report focuses on primary essential CVG, where approximately a fourth of the scalp and a significant portion of the forehead and eyelid were involved. Flap advancement after skin expansion was performed to rectify the disorder. This technique adequately covers the residual defect postexcision and preserves hair growth in affected regions. It is a successful skin expansion technique to cover the exposed scalp, preserve hair growth, and achieve excellent cosmetic results. Our approach demonstrates a promising solution for severe cosmetic disfigurement in primary essential CVG, positively impacting both the physical appearance and psychosocial well-being of the patient.

Background: Maternal and child health remains a global priority, with antenatal care (ANC) recognized as essential for ensuring positive pregnancy outcomes. Despite significant improvements, in low- and middle-income countries, ANC service utilization remains low in Sub-Saharan Africa. This paper contributes to the understanding of the evolution and determinants of ANC service utilization among women of reproductive age in Rwanda.

Background: A normal luteal function is an essential factor for maintaining pregnancy; luteal phase deficiency decreases embryo implantation and pregnancy rate and increases the early miscarriage rate. In stimulated in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) patients, luteal phase support (LPS) is achieved by the exogenous supplementation with progesterone to increase endometrial receptivity and pregnancy. While several protocols exist, no commonly accepted protocol has been established for optimal luteal support after IVF-ET to date, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of two different luteal phase support protocols in patients undergoing assisted reproductive technologies.

Testosterone is a natural hormone which is an essential factor to maintain the physical and emotional well-being in men, regardless of age. Male hypogonadism is an endocrinal condition of testosterone deficiency with the potential to cause multiple physical complaints and psychosocial problems. The condition can be of primary (due to testicular injury), secondary (due to diseases of the hypothalamus or pituitary gland) or functional nature (due to comorbidities, such as inflammatory diseases, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus).

Purpose: Femur fractures are among the most common fractures treated surgically, representing a significant challenge for the orthopedic surgeon. Peri-implant femoral fractures (PIFFs) represent a rare complication of the surgical treatment. It is necessary to pay attention during osteosynthesis, evaluating not only the fracture site but the entire femoral skeletal structure, the characteristics of the fracture, the health comorbidities, and the risk of malunion and pseudarthrosis.

Coral reefs are critical ecosystems, fostering biodiversity and sustaining the livelihoods of millions globally. Nonetheless, they confront escalating threats, with infectious diseases emerging as primary catalysts for extensive damage, surpassing the impacts of other human-induced stressors. Disease transmission via biotic factors, particularly during fish predation, is a crucial yet often overlooked pathway.
