Case: A 21-year-old man presented with a femoral head (FH) fracture from a firearm injury. The FH had a comminuted, minimally displaced fracture with intertrochanteric extension and a retained bullet. This patient was treated with surgical hip dislocation (SHD) and open reduction internal fixation (ORIF). This case describes the operative management of a fracture pattern of the FH not covered within the Pipkin classification. The patient was noted to be progressing well at 1-year follow-up.
Conclusion: FH fractures from firearm injuries may present with unique fracture patterns. SHD and ORIF is a viable option for these unique fractures.

An electrochromism-equipped enzymatic biofuel cell system combined with hollow microneedle array for self-powered glucose sensing in interstitial fluid.
Mikrochim Acta

School of Health Science and Engineering, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai, 20093, China.
A disposable, self-powered enzymatic biofuel cell (BFC) sensor integrated with a hollow microneedle array (HMNA) for glucose monitoring in interstitial fluid (ISF) is reported. The HMNA enables painless and minimally invasive ISF extraction. The BFC uses dehydrogenase (GDH) in conjunction with NAD, diaphorase (DI), and vitamin K (VK) serving as electron transfer mediators as the anode catalyst and Prussian blue (PB) as the electrochromic cathode.

Objective: We analyzed the long-term safety and effectiveness of fenfluramine (FFA) in patients with Dravet syndrome (DS) in an open-label extension (OLE) study after participating in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or commencing FFA de novo as adults.
Methods: Patients with DS who participated in one of three RCTs or were 19 to 35 years of age and started FFA de novo were included. Key endpoints were: incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in the safety population, and median percentage change in monthly convulsive seizure frequency (MCSF) from the RCT baseline to end of study (EOS) in the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population.
Lipid Profiles After Changes in Alcohol Consumption Among Adults Undergoing Annual Checkups.
JAMA Netw Open
March 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, St Luke's International Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.
Importance: Despite growing criticism of alcohol consumption due to its overall health risks, it remains unknown how changes in alcohol consumption, particularly cessation, affect lipid profiles outside of intense interventions.
Objective: To clarify the association of alcohol initiation and cessation with subsequent changes in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study included individuals undergoing annual checkups at a center for preventive medicine in Tokyo, Japan, from October 2012 to October 2022.
Interfacial-Design Mediated Construction of Hybrid Multicompartment Architectures with Layered Physicochemical Barriers for Separately Sequestration of Oxidation-Reduction Molecules and Their Redox Reaction Regulation.

Hybrid multicompartment artificial architectures, inherited from different compartmental systems, possess separate microenvironments that can perform different functions. Herein, a hybrid compartmentalized architecture via hybridizing ferritin nanocage (Fn) with non-aqueous droplets using aminated-modified amphiphilic gelatin (AGEL) is proposed, which enables the generation of compartmentalized emulsions with hybrid multicompartments. The resulting compartmentalized emulsions are termed "hybrasome".

A significant portion of adolescents suffer from mental illnesses and persistent pain due to repeated stress. The components of the nervous system that link stress and pain in early life remain unclear. Prior studies in adult mice implicated the innate immune system, specifically Toll-like receptors (TLRs), as critical for inducing long-term anxiety and pain-like behaviors in social defeat stress (SDS) models.
