Sohane and Sélenn are twins and will soon be 6 years old. They had a birth journey often described as unusual, because they were born far too early, at 31 weeks of amenorrhea. Through the pen of their father, they share their testimony with us, looking back on this complicated period of which they were able to keep memories thanks to the photographs and stories of their parents.

We present a case of a man in his 40s who was on haemodialysis for over 20 years presenting with rapidly progressive decline in mobility, associated with fixed flexion deformities of joints and peau d'orange appearance of skin together with areas of ulceration that was concerning for calciphylaxis. Skin biopsies were consistent with both nephrogenic systemic fibrosis and calciphylaxis. He has never had exposure to gadolinium-based contrast agent. His treatment included daily dialysis sessions, which were challenging due to vascular access issues and three times weekly sodium thiosulfate...

The use of skin substitutes in burn surgery and in the treatment of acute or chronic wounds is constantly evolving. For years, scientists have been researching skin substitutes that can be used in place of autologous skin. New products are regularly developed and approved for clinical use. In this article, we take a look at the skin substitutes most commonly used in Europe and briefly summarize the current clinical experience of our centre.

BACKGROUND: Global breast cancer incidence is increasing at an annual rate of 3·1%. Female breast cancer has surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, with an estimated 2.3 million new cases (11.7%). However, the data from different parts of India are still lacking and the study was conducted to assess the burden of disease at tertiary referral centers in central India. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective record analysis (June 2013-June 2017) of data from outdoor clinics and pathology reports...

CONTEXT: Despite the use of total skin grafting in the treatment of loss of skin substances on the palmar surface of the fingers, the palm of the hand and the sole of the foot, the data published in the literature on long-term results in black-skinned patients are non-existent. METHODS: The present study, filling this gap, used data from a prospective cohort of 123 total skin grafts performed on 93 black African patients who benefited from plantar skin grafts versus skin grafts from hairy areas to cover loss of skin substances...

BACKGROUND: The lymphatic system is crucial in maintaining the body fluid homeostasis. A dysfunctional lymphatic system may contribute to the refractoriness of ascites and edema in cirrhosis patients. Therefore, assessment of lymphatic dysfunction in cirrhosis patients with refractory ascites (RA) can be crucial as it would call for using different strategies for fluid mobilization. AIM: To assessing the magnitude, spectrum, and clinical associations of lymphatic dysfunction in liver cirrhosis patients with RA...

As part of its therapeutic patient education program, the Avicenne hospital in the Paris region invites patients with an autoimmune bullous disease to a workshop dedicated to local skin and mucous membrane care. Together, a nurse, patient partners and patients review best practices in hygiene care and treatment of the skin, eyes, nose, mouth, genitals and anus. This is essential for healing lesions and avoiding local complications.

The skin of patients with hereditary epidermolysis bullosa (HEB) is extremely fragile. When providing care, nurses must be extremely vigilant to avoid inducing lesions. Whether inserting a peripheral venous line, taking blood pressure or monitoring the patient, nurses are likely to injure the patient's skin by compressing it, rubbing it, applying dressings and so on. It is therefore essential that they adapt this care to the person suffering from HEB.

Gaining a better understanding of fathers' experiences in the maternity ward, and more specifically around childbirth, enables a better understanding of the process of becoming a father. The stakes are high, since these shared moments form part of the bonds that support the development of father-baby communication.

BACKGROUND: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare skin tumor. There is no standard recommendation for its surgical management. The currently used histological analysis are HES (hematoxylin eosin saffron) staining and immunohistochemistry for CD34 expression in particular cases. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) technique is only used to qualify the DFSP as translocated or non-translocated and is not used as a diagnostic method. The aim of our study was to determine by FISH (as a diagnostic method) whether cancerous cells that could not be identified through HES staining±immunohistochemistry were present at the two-centimeter margins that were found to be tumor-free...

INTRODUCTION: Malignant non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) are of two main types: basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). In rare occasions, some of the malignant skin lesions show histopathological characteristics of both BCC and SCC and are known as basosquamous carcinomas (BSC). In some cases of large tumors, extensive reconstructive surgery might be needed to correct the skin defect after the primary excision. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a case of a 76-year-old Bulgarian male patient who presented with a neglected giant cutaneous tumor with more than a 15-year history of a growing mass in the right deltoid area...

Electrical Accidents Abstract: When persons seek medical help after an electrical injury, physicians have to inquire on the type (AC/DC) and strength of current (>1000V is considered "high voltage") as well as the exact circumstances (loss of consciousness, falls) of the accident. In the advent of high-voltage accidents, loss of consciousness, arrhythmias, abnormal ECG or elevated troponin levels, in-hospital rhythm monitoring is warranted. In all other cases, the type of extra cardiac injury primarily directs the management...

BACKGROUND: Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is an autosomal recessive condition caused by mutations in the ABCC6 gene. Ocular features include angioid streaks, peau d'orange fundus, and drusen. We report a novel ABCC6 mutation causing PXE in a patient with a mixed phenotype of PXE and retinitis pigmentosa (RP). CASE: A 37-year-old female presented with decreased peripheral vision and nyctalopia. Ocular imaging revealed angioid streaks emanating from the optic nerve as well as peripheral pigmentary changes and bone spicules...

PURPOSE: Decompressive craniectomy immediately reduces intracranial pressure by increasing space to accommodate brain volumes. Any delay in reduction of pressure and signs of severe intracranial hypertension requires explanation.

BACKGROUND: Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreaks have emerged in Central and West Africa. EVD diagnosis relies principally on RT-PCR testing with GeneXpert®, which has logistical and cost restrictions at the peripheral level of the health system. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) would offer a valuable alternative at the point-of-care to reduce the turn-around time, if they show good performance characteristics. We evaluated the performance of four EVD RDTs against the reference standard GeneXpert® on stored EVD positive and negative blood samples collected between 2018 and 2021 from outbreaks in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)...

A 75 years old patient presented with a papular easily bleeding lesion of the lower lip that had been growing for two months. He was known for alcoholic cirrhosis complicated with hepatocellular carcinoma treated since one year. A working diagnostic hypothesis of benign vascular lesion was proposed. Microscopic examination showed a neoplastic dermal proliferation that had been fully excised, made of lobules segregated by thin fibrous septae. The neoplastic architecture was trabecular and delineating spaces forming pseudo-rosettes...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical features, laboratory and imaging results, treatment and outcomes of eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) and assess the value of ultrasound in the diagnosis of EF. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 45 patients with EF treated in our center from January 1, 2006 to February 28, 2022. The consistency between the diagnoses of EF based on ultrasound and MRI findings was assessed. RESULTS: In the 45 EF patients (male/female ratio 3...
