Objective: Microvascular changes, such as crossing nailfold capillaries, could be crucial for linking maximum lifetime body mass index (BMI) and microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the relationship between maximum lifetime BMI and microvascular changes remains elusive. This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between maximum lifetime BMI and the percentage of crossing nailfold capillaries among patients with T2DM.

Intramedullary nail fixation is a routine procedure for treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. Aseptic technique is vital for reducing postoperative complications, as intraoperative glove perforations increase the risk of surgical site infections. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of surgical glove perforation during intramedullary nailing of intertrochanteric fractures and to identify surgery-specific steps at risk.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common compression neuropathy. The median nerve contains sensory, motor, and sympathetic fibers. Involvement of the different fibers of the median nerve in CTS may vary; hence, one of the sensory, motor, or autonomic dysfunctions may be dominant.

Visual examination of nails can reflect human health status. Diseases such as nutritive imbalances and skin diseases can be identified by looking at the colors around the plate part of the nails. We present the AI-based NAILS method to detect fingernails through segmentation and labeling.

The interplay between nutrition and skin health provides a crucial lens for understanding, diagnosing, and managing eating disorders (EDs) such as anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge-eating disorder (BED). This review explores the dermatological manifestations resulting from the nutritional deficiencies commonly associated with EDs, including conditions like hair loss, xerosis, and brittle nails. These changes in the skin and its appendages often reflect deeper systemic dysfunctions, such as deficiencies in essential micronutrients (zinc, iron, and vitamins A and C), hormonal imbalances, and electrolyte disturbances.
