Discoid lupus erythematosus is a chronic, recurring, autoimmune skin disease causing annular, scarring plaques on the head and neck. Deucravacitinib, tyrosine kinase 2 inhibitor in Janus family, represents an emerging treatment option systemic with potential applicability to discoid erythematosus. We describe 48-year-old woman multiple treatment-refractory scalp associated alopecia treated deucravacitinib. She demonstrated resolution of symptoms 1–2 cm hair regrowth at 3-month follow-up,...
Prompt diagnosis and surgical management of melanoma strongly impact prognosis. Considering the limited resources, emergency closures, staffing shortages during COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, our institution implemented a dedicated care pathway to prioritize cancer surgeries. We aim assess whether this strategy was effective at preventing wait time delays upstaging melanoma. retrospectively collected data patients aged ≥18 years with biopsy-proven primary who underwent wide local excision...
Abstract Objective To compare the safety and effectiveness of different surgical approaches in thymectomy: robotics, subxiphoid, lateral video‐assisted thoracoscopy surgery (LVATS) open. Methodology We retrospectively reviewed 68 cases thymectomy with a robot‐assisted, LVATS, open sternotomy or thoracotomy approach for thymic lesions myasthenia gravis between July 2017 May 2023 at single centre. Peri‐operative outcomes (operating time, estimated blood loss, conversion rates, R0 resection,...
Background: In this study, we investigate indocyanine green (ICG) dye visualization of the thoracic duct (TD) and conduit perfusion during esophagectomy to reduce anastomotic leak (AL) chylothorax adverse events (AEs). Methods: Retrospective data adult patients who underwent for esophageal carcinoma between July 2019 2022 were included (n = 105). ICG was delivered intravenously (2 mL, 2.5 mg/mL) assess into small bowel mesentery, inguinal lymph nodes, or foot web spaces TD using fluorescence...
Abstract Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental that affects about 1 in 36 children the United States, imposing enormous economic and socioemotional burden on families communities. Genetic studies of ASD have identified de novo copy number variants (CNVs) point mutations contribute significantly to genetic architecture, but majority these were conducted populations unsuited for detecting autosomal recessive (AR) inheritance. However, several consanguineous towards...
