An intertriginous hyperpigmented macular eruption.

A 23-year-old woman presented with a hyperpigmented intertriginous eruption unresponsive to topical steroids and to topical and systemic antifungals. Histopathological assessment demonstrated patchy inflammatory infiltrate at the demoepidermal junction with pigment incontinence. Click here for the corresponding questions to this CME article.

Athena Speciality Certificate Examination case for cutaneous allergy.

Can we evidence-base injury prevention and management in women's football? A scoping review.

This review aimed, as part of a larger FIFA project aiming to steer women's football research, to scope literature on any level of competitive football for women, to understand the current quantity of research on women's football injuries. The study reviewed all injury-related papers scoped by a recent scoping review mapping all published women's football research with an updated search performed on 23 February 2021. Eligibility criteria assessment followed the recent scoping review with injury-specific research focus.

Physical activity recommendations pre and post abdominal wall reconstruction: a scoping review of the evidence.

Purpose: There are no universally agreed guidelines regarding which types of physical activity are safe and/or recommended in the perioperative period for patients undergoing ventral hernia repair or abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR). This study is intended to identify and summarise the literature on this topic.

Methods: Database searches of PubMed, CINAHL, Allied & Complementary medicine database, PEDro and Web of Science were performed followed by a snowballing search using two papers identified by the database search and four hand-selected papers of the authors' choosing.

Reading a preoperative CT scan to guide complex abdominal wall reconstructive surgery.

Computed tomography (CT) scanning is the imaging modality of choice when planning the overall management and operative approach to complex abdominal wall hernias. Despite its availability and well-recognised benefits there are no guidelines or recommendations regarding how best to read or report such scans for this application. In this paper we aim to outline an approach to interpreting preoperative CT scans in abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR).

Suture rectopexy versus ventral mesh rectopexy for complete full-thickness rectal prolapse and intussusception: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare recurrence rates of rectal prolapse following ventral mesh rectopexy (VMR) and suture rectopexy (SR).

Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched for studies reporting on the recurrence rates of complete rectal prolapse (CRP) or intussusception (IS) after SR and VMR. Results were pooled and procedures compared; a subgroup analysis was performed comparing patients with CRP and IS who underwent VMR using biological versus synthetic meshes.

The cost-effectiveness of progesterone in preventing miscarriages in women with early pregnancy bleeding: an economic evaluation based on the PRISM trial.

Objectives: To assess the cost-effectiveness of progesterone compared with placebo in preventing pregnancy loss in women with early pregnancy vaginal bleeding.

Design: Economic evaluation alongside a large multi-centre randomised placebo-controlled trial.

Setting: Forty-eight UK NHS early pregnancy units.

Reconstructive outcomes of Mohs surgery compared with conventional excision: A 13-month prospective study.

Established in 2012, the Mersey Regional Centre for Mohs Surgery is the first UK Mohs service to be led by a Mohs trained Plastic & Reconstructive surgeon. We evaluate the resection requirements and reconstructive techniques of our patient group and compare their surgical outcome to that which would have been gained with conventional excision (CE) and reconstruction for the same lesions. 157 patients were analysed over 13 months.

Prevalence and perinatal mortality associated with preterm births in a tertiary medical center in South East Nigeria.

Background: Preterm birth is a high risk condition associated with significant mortality and morbidity in the perinatal, neonatal, and childhood periods, and even in adulthood. Knowledge of the epidemiology of preterm births is necessary for planning appropriate maternal and fetal care.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence, pattern, and perinatal mortality associated with preterm births at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu, South East Nigeria.

The plastic & reconstructive Mohs surgery service.

Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) is the current 'gold-standard' for excision of a number of cutaneous lesions and provides a valuable addition to a skin cancer service. The Mersey Regional Centre for Mohs Surgery is the first MMS service in the UK to be led by an MMS trained Plastic and Reconstructive surgeon, and this article describes an overview of the processes involved in establishing such a service.
