Microcytosis is commonly encountered in primary care. Among patients with normal iron stores or compatible family history, hemoglobin electrophoresis, traditionally performed with gel electrophoresis and now through combination capillary electrophoresis/high-performance liquid chromatography, can diagnose thalassemic disorders or, rarely, a hemoglobinopathy. We present a case of an incidentally discovered microcytosis in a 34-year-old male patient where the workup led to a diagnosis of Hemoglobin S with Hereditary Persistence of Fetal Hemoglobin (HbS-HPFH syndrome).

The present study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of anatomical variations in the carpal tunnel and their potential role as risk factors for CTS.
Methods: Data from 447 CTS patients who underwent median nerve decompression between 2018 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.
Purpose: This study aimed to conduct a radiological and clinical evaluation of patients who underwent fixed rehabilitation involving subperiosteal implants and to define not only the criteria for failure but also the criteria for survival and success.
Materials And Methods: Patients suffering from severe atrophy of the maxilla and/or mandible underwent immediate loading with fixed full-arch prostheses supported by custom-made 3D-printed subperiosteal implants. The evaluated outcomes included the success and survival rates of subperiosteal implant prosthetic therapy, surgical complications, and the three-dimensional positions of osteosynthesis screws and sleeves used for implant adhesion to the bone.

Objectives: Malrotation is a congenital anomaly characterized by improper positioning of the intestines that can cause a range of symptoms from asymptomatic to life-threatening, including midgut volvulus. Diagnosis of malrotation can be particularly challenging in cases where symptoms resemble those of other illnesses, such as severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID).
Case Report: In this case study, we describe a 2-month-old girl with midgut volvulus secondary to malrotation.
