Recurrent Constellations of Embryonic Malformations (RCEM): Teratogenicity Linked to Transient Hypoxia and Hormone Pregnancy Tests Agrees With RCEM and Suggest a Reactive Oxygen Species Pathogenesis

Birth Defects Research, Volume 118, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background No consistent genetic etiology has been found for a group of six different conditions in humans with multiple malformations called “recurrent constellations of embryonic malformations” (RCEM). Recent studies indicate hypoxia/reoxygenation and generation Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) as an underlying mechanism for RCEM with the ...

Three‐Stage Prelaminated Radial Forearm Flap for Total Auricular Reconstruction Following Scalp Avulsion Injury

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Loss of mastoid skin and temporoparietal fascia after complete scalp avulsion precludes conventional ear reconstruction. We report a total auricular reconstruction using a remote, prelaminated radial‐forearm flap. A 42‐year‐old woman with prior scalp avulsion and right ear amputation underwent (1) 200‐mL forearm expansion, (2) autogenous ...
