Temporal region of the face is considered the most promising facial region for inducing panfacial effects, playing an increasingly important role in facial contouring and rejuvenation surgeries, which in turn has led to a rapid growth in the demand for aesthetic correction for temporal hollowing. In order to correct this issue and achieve a more youthful appearance, filler injections can be used. Although this procedure is generally safe and is increasingly popular, complications may happen. Complications include visual loss, neurological deficits, embolism, and non-thrombotic pulmonary embolism. These complications are thought to result from injection of filler material into facial arteries and veins. We describe here a patient who developed pain in the parieto-temporal region following hyaluronic acid (HA) injection for temporal augmentation, which was complicated by tissue necrosis and alopecia. This was managed with hyaluronidase injection and aspirin tablets. Patient was followed for 6 months period after which she had complete hair growth and total resolution of skin necrosis without any scar formation. Since complications of HA injection are wide and serious, practitioners should always be aware of potential consequences of such procedures.

Manual segmentation of lesions, required for radiotherapy planning and follow-up, is time-consuming and error-prone. Automatic detection and segmentation can assist radiologists in these tasks. This work explores the automated detection and segmentation of brain metastases (BMs) in longitudinal MRIs.

Despite the variety of proposed solutions, anastomotic leakage is still a critical complication after colorectal surgery, which causes increased clinical mortality and morbidity. By enhancing microcirculation in the colonic mucosa, the use of Iloprost (Ilo) has shown promising results for the healing of anastomosis. The purpose of this study is to examine the performance of Ilo-impregnated Polycaprolactone:Gelatin electrospun membranes (PCL/Gel/Ilo) on anastomosis repair and intra-abdominal adhesion behavior in the Rat colon.

Background Acetabular fractures, a rising concern in developing countries, pose a significant challenge due to their complexity and association with post-operative complications. Often caused by high-energy mechanisms like falls and motor vehicle accidents, these fractures require accurate reduction to prevent long-term issues and the potential need for hip replacement. This study investigates the radiological outcomes of acetabular fracture surgery at six months, focusing on the effectiveness of achieving anatomical reduction using the Matta criteria in a low-and middle-income country (LMIC) setting.

Background: Mycotoxins are considered one of the most important problems and threats that face poultry producers.
Aim: This study was conducted to investigate the pathological, hematological, and biochemical alterations in chickens fed on mycotoxins contamination ration.
Methods: 434 feed samples were collected from poultry farms operating in Babil Governorate/Iraq, where feed samples were collected over the course of 2023, and these samples were tested by direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to determine the level of mycotoxins.

Background: Regenerative endodontics' primary objective is to establish a favorable environment in the root canal by removing infection, providing a sturdy scaffold, and sealing the apical end of the tooth tightly. These actions should promote pulp regeneration and root development.
Aim: This study evaluated histologically the regenerative potential of injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel or collagen with blood clot as scaffolds during revascularization of immature necrotic dog's teeth.
