Finite Element Analysis of the Stress Changes Associated With the Growth of Acne Keloids

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open
Background:. Almost half of all spontaneously occurring keloids are acne keloids on the anterior chest. These keloids often grow in a crab-claw shape due to predominant tractional stresses on the scar; such stresses are risk factors for keloid growth ...

The outcome of postoperative radiation therapy following plastic surgical resection of recurrent ear keloid: a single institution experience

Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer Institute, 2022
Background Ear keloids are abnormal continuously growing healing process following cutaneous injury. Surgical excision is the standard treatment strategy; however, 50–80% of cases develop recurrence.

Repeated intradermal lipopolysaccharide challenge responses in healthy volunteers: Implications for clinical pharmacology studies

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Intradermal application of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a Toll‐like receptor 4 agonist, induces a local inflammatory response and is used as a human challenge model to evaluate the pharmacodynamics of investigational medicinal products. While currently applied in a single, parallel‐group setting, alternative within‐subject designs involving repeated ...

3D Printing a Clinically Available Solution From Plaster‐Based Positives in Superficial Radiation Therapy

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study compares two techniques for creating lead shielding masks to replace the current process for superficial/orthovoltage facial radiotherapy: Plaster Cast Positive Mould (PCPM), CT Scanned 3D Print (CT3DP), and Optical Scan 3D Print (OS3DP). CT3DP was found to be more accurate and preferred over OS3DP.

The HEDGEHOG-GLI1 pathway is important for fibroproliferative properties in keloids and as a candidate therapeutic target

Communications Biology, 2023
Keloids are benign fibroproliferative skin tumors caused by aberrant wound healing that can negatively impact patient quality of life. The lack of animal models has limited research on pathogenesis or developing effective treatments, and the etiology of ...

Radiofrequency Ablation as a Safe and Effective Treatment for Thyroid Nodules After Lobectomy

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background A new symptomatic nodule may develop or a preexisting nodule may grow to warrant treatment in the remaining lobe of patients who previously had a unilateral thyroid lobectomy. Conventional management often results in completion thyroidectomy, but radiofrequency ablation (RFA) offers a minimally invasive alternative to surgical ...

Understanding Keloid Pathobiology From a Quasi-Neoplastic Perspective: Less of a Scar and More of a Chronic Inflammatory Disease With Cancer-Like Tendencies

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Keloids are considered as benign fibroproliferative skin tumors growing beyond the site of the original dermal injury. Although traditionally viewed as a form of skin scarring, keloids display many cancer-like characteristics such as progressive ...
