Syndactyly release with full-thickness skin graft harvested from the wrist: About 24 webspaces.

The management of congenital syndactylies often requires the use of a full-thickness skin graft to reconstruct the affected web space. Traditionally, full-thickness skin grafts are harvested from the groin region, but using the anterior aspect of the wrist may offers benefits in terms of scar quality while simplifying surgical time. This descriptive study evaluates scar quality (at donor and recipient site) associated with full-thickness skin graft harvested from the volar wrist in syndactyly release.

NIVO-TIL: combination anti-PD-1 therapy and adoptive T-cell transfer in untreated metastatic melanoma: an exploratory open-label phase I trial.

Background And Purpose: In patients with metastatic melanoma who respond to anti-PD-1 therapy, the proliferation of intra-tumour CD8+ T cells is directly correlated with the clinical response, making tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) a treatment of interest in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor, which is the undisputed gold standard in the management of metastatic melanoma. The aim of this trial was, therefore, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sequential combination therapy consisting of nivolumab (a PD-1 inhibitor) and TILs adoptive T cells in patients with metastatic melanoma.

Materials And Methods: We performed an exploratory, prospective, single-centre, open-label, non-randomised, uncontrolled phase I/II study.

QCD challenges from pp to AA collisions: 4th edition.

This paper is a write-up of the ideas that were presented, developed and discussed at the fourth International Workshop on QCD Challenges from pp to AA, which took place in February 2023 in Padua, Italy. The goal of the workshop was to focus on some of the open questions in the field of high-energy heavy-ion physics and to stimulate the formulation of concrete suggestions for making progresses on both the experimental and theoretical sides. The paper gives a brief introduction to each topic and then summarizes the primary results.

Single intravenous administration of oncolytic adenovirus TILT-123 results in systemic tumor transduction and immune response in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Background: A limitation of approved oncolytic viruses is their requirement for intratumoral (i.t.) injection.

Microbiota and cognitive impairment: Current challenges and future perspectives.

Recent studies indicate that gut microbiota may play a crucial role in cognitive function. Individuals with cognitive impairment tend to have fewer beneficial gut bacteria and lower microbial diversity. Therefore, gut microbiota could be a potential biomarker for cognitive vulnerability.

Effect of sleeve gastrectomy on distal esophagus at 5 and 10 years.

Background: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a primary surgical intervention for obesity management. However, several longitudinal studies have documented the emergence of long-term esophageal consequences, notably gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and its associated complications. This study aimed to assess the occurrence of esophageal complications, including esophagitis and Barret's esophagus (BE), 5 and 10 years after SG, in one medical center.

Thirty-five years of the French Association of Urologists in Training (AFUF) a scoping review and bibliometric analysis of scientific literature conducted by urologists in training.

Purpose: The objective of this scoping review was to identify the topics of research and the types of studies published by the French Association of Urologists in Training (AFUF) since it was created, 35 years ago and to perform a bibliometric analysis.

Methods: A scoping review on PubMed, Google scholar, Excerpta Medica database (EMBASE) was conducted from 1989 until the 31st of December 2023. The PRISMA extended guidelines for scoping reviews were followed.

Branching and nonbranching intracranial aneurysms in the presence of a persistent stapedial artery and an aberrant internal carotid artery assessed with computational hemodynamics: illustrative case.

Background: The mechanisms underlying the initiation and progression of bifurcation versus lateral wall aneurysms are not well understood. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can improve the understanding of these mechanisms and can consequently help identify patients at higher risk for developing aneurysms and monitor them more closely.

Observations: A 36-year-old man presented with a ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm, which was successfully treated with microsurgical clipping.

Geriatric education for pharmacy students: A scoping review.

Background: Comprehensive medication management for older adults requires specific knowledge and skills. Therefore, pharmacy curricula should include appropriate strategies to prepare students for care of this population. This scoping review aimed to identify how geriatric concepts, such as geriatric topics and competencies, are included in pharmacy curricula, and to map current literature on preferred teaching and assessment methods related to geriatric pharmacy education.

Genomic diversity of HPV6 and HPV11 in recurrent respiratory papillomatosis: Association with malignant transformation in the lungs and clinical outcomes.

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a rare, proliferative disease caused by human papillomavirus 6 (HPV6) and HPV11. RRP can occasionally spread and undergo malignant transformation. We analysed samples across time for five RRP patients with malignant transformation and four with highly recurrent, non-malignant RRP by applying high-throughput sequencing.

Impact of photobiomodulation in alveolar ridge preservation and implant stability after a dental extraction: a systematic review.

The bone volume preservation after dental extraction is challenging in case of implant rehabilitation for functional and aesthetics results. Photobiomodulation (or LLLT) is used in medicine for its properties of accelerating the healing process. The aim of the systematic review was to determine if the use of photobiomodulation had an impact on implant stability and on alveolar bone healing, either in quality or in quantity.

Long-term real world evidence of CPX-351 of high-risk AML patients identified high rate of negative MRD and prolonged OS.

CPX-351 has been approved for patients with therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) or AML with myelodysplasia-related changes (MRC-AML). No extensive data are available on MRD and long-term clinical outcome using CPX-351 in AML in real-life. We retrospectively collected data from 168 patients in 36 centers in France and Italy who had received one or two cycles of induction with CPX-351.

Structural Analysis and Substrate Specificity of D-Carbamoylase from .

The synthesis of enantiomeric forms of D-amino acids can be achieved by a two-step "hydantoinase process" based on the sequential catalysis of substrates by specific enzymes, D-carbamoylase and D-hydantoinase. Here, we describe the structural features of D-carbamoylase from , the encoded gene of which was chemically synthesized and cloned into . A significant fraction of the overexpressed recombinant protein forms insoluble inclusion bodies, which are partially converted to a soluble state upon treatment with N-lauroylsarcosine or upon incubation of cells at 28 °C.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic Interventions on Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy Incidence in France.

Objective: To study the impact of nonpharmaceutical interventions implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic on the monthly incidence of sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI) cases overall and those with a viral or bacterial identification.

Study Design: We conducted an interrupted time-series analysis using seasonally adjusted Poisson regression models from the French national prospective and multicenter SUDI registry, that included all SUDI cases below the age of 1 year who died from 2016 to 2021 in mainland France.

Results: Of 998 SUDI cases analyzed, 750 were recorded during the prepandemic period (January 2016 through March 2020) and 248 during the NPI period (April 2020 through December 2021).
