Intravascular Lithotripsy to Facilitate Extraction of Very Old Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices Leads

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background One of the challenges encountered when extracting transvenous leads with long dwell times is the presence of dense calcifications encasing the leads. This is the most likely reason for failure to advance a laser extraction sheath.

Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) in the correction of myopic astigmatism: outcomes and limitations - an update

open access: yesEye and Vision, 2017
Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) is a flap-free intrastromal technique for the correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism. To date, this technique lacks automated centration and cyclotorsion control, so several concerns have been raised ...

Efficacy and Safety of Conventional and Biologic Therapies in Prurigo Nodularis: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Dermatology, Volume 65, Issue 4, Page 724-736, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic, intensely pruritic skin disorder characterized by hyperkeratotic nodules and a debilitating itch–scratch cycle. Conventional therapies have limited efficacy and safety issues, while biologics have recently emerged as a promising alternative.

Clinical heterogeneity in vitiligo: Identification of clinical markers based patient clusters

open access: yesJournal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 670-679, April 2026.
Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease with heterogeneous clinical presentations. This study analysed 399 patients using hierarchical clustering and identified five phenotypes based on clinical characteristics and lesion distribution. Two groups exhibited high disease activity and extensive involvement.
