Clinical Characterization of Skin Findings on the Hands in Proteus Syndrome
ABSTRACT Background Proteus syndrome is a progressive asymmetric overgrowth disorder caused by mosaic activating variants in AKT1. It most frequently affects the skin, soft tissues, bones, and central nervous system and increases the risk for certain tumors and venous thromboembolism. A hallmark feature is the progressive plantar cerebriform connective

ABSTRACT Despite significant progress in chronic GVHD therapies, challenges remain in understanding pleomorphic phenotypes and varying responses to treatment. The aim of this study was to identify predictors of treatment response. We conducted a prospective, observational cohort study of patients beginning first‐, second‐, or third‐line systemic ...

Anatomical Variation of Absent Facial Vein: Implications for Facial Reanimation Surgery
ABSTRACT Background The facial vein is the standard recipient vessel in facial reanimation surgery. Its complete absence is rarely described but may cause major challenges during free functional muscle transfer (FFMT). This study aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of facial vein absence and assess its surgical relevance in facial ...

ABSTRACT Large‐ion (K, Na) battery systems mitigate uneven global lithium distribution, while their ability to attain recharge time shorter than refueling would remove the final barrier for secondary batteries to replace petroleum vehicles. However, their large‐ion chemistry makes ultra‐fast charging an even significant challenge.

Clinical, biochemical, and molecular spectrum of nephropathic cystinosis: Two novel CTNS mutations
Background: Nephropathic cystinosis (NC) is an autosomal recessive disease. Mutations in the CTNS gene encoding the lysosomal membrane cystine transporter cystinosin are identified as the molecular basis of cystinosis.

ABSTRACT Roads are a major source of landscape fragmentation that can influence movement patterns, survival, and behavioral states of carnivore species. Understanding their behavior and response to roads is crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies such as wildlife crossing structures, exclusion fencing, and habitat connectivity planning ...
